Congratulations! Hope you'll come and join us in the Guardians thread Don't forget to flush out the joint, and if you need anymore advice on breaking-in, check out the Guardians thread index, linked to from post #1

Thanks, Jack. It’s interesting you mention flushing out the joint. The action was smooth at first, then got really gritty, so I flushed out the joint. More gunk came out of this knife than any I’ve had before. It had a different smell, too. Maybe different buffing compound. Anyway, it’s smooth now

I didn't know that you did not have a Lambsfoot.
Hope you find the blade shape as indispensable as I do.

First one. I had been resisting and didn’t know what to get or where. But I could only resist so long. I’m sure the blade will work well for me. A straight-edge blade seems to be the most useful for my daily needs.

Yes, there's a lot of muck in those knives! Flushing the joint can really make a lot of difference to the action

That's not a bad start, I hope you enjoy using it

New lamb foot again today.

Nice pic of it

Starting my week with a Bagpipe Ebony Lambsfoot (SFO), and a Metal Monday Burma Knife from H.M Slater

Thanks Will, but this one was a standard Tidioute from 2013. I think you may be thinking of the TSA SFO from 2019 (knife on the right side in this picture).

Thanks for the correction I thought it was a Pocketworn version....all great knives mind, the Eureka was an excellent innovation by GEC- re-introducing an almost extinct pattern.

@black mamba This one is for you Jeff

Superb duo, always liked those Queens in D2. Is that BEM or Walnut?

Thanks, Will

We should all study that Jigging carefully, it's a reference point. It also shows how supreme Jigging or Stag can get short-changed if it gets an end-cap stuck on it. Barehead for preference in my view.

Thanks, Will

3:30 in the morning. Tried to sleep and had a nightmare
So anyway, dreamed I was totin' a 99 Farm & Field for Micarta Monday ... why it's so grainy and fuzzy with vague lighting
Then sensed a hostile, shape-shifting, eidolon monster near me ... but I flew away and landed here
I have no idea what it means ... just glad I could fly. That's what I told the 911 lady anyway.

I was nearly totin being washed out to sea today

I thought I would christen my my knife in the Atlantic Ocean north Cornwall.

I watched how far the tide was coming in for 30 mins,then laid my knife down at the end of the wave,

First wave it went well,then the second wave went over my feet knocking me off balance.

Before I had time to retreat the 3rd wave cave in and hit like a train,up to my knees I very nearly went face down.

But didn’t retreat until I could grab my knife it was all but buried just a bit showing,a panic moment waiting for the wave to go back.

I grabbed it and got out,water and sand in my boots I squelched back to the car.

Then changed my socks and shoes and drove back with the heater blasting hot air in the foot well.

foolish behaviour.

Can’t wait to see the salt water patina!

Nice photos~ it looks moody.
