Welcome back Jose, that Ironwood is superb
Thanks Dylan! That’s a great family photo my friend! I’m proud to be posting this on page 1000!Thank you, Jack. Funny thing about work, it always seems to get in the way of things you'd rather be doing otherwise .
I echo those sentiments, Ron. What a terrific shot of that beauty! Absolutely stunning.
I thought it was time to get another family shot with the most recent acquisition.

Patina progressing nicely
Huzzah!
Congratulations on page 1000!
I will raise a tankard of something tasty to the health of all here, especially Jack!
Congratulations on the 1000 pages!
A new view of Pere David through the hole!!!
Hey, alright, we made it!!!
Congratulations to Jack and all the Guardians for 1,000 pages of Lambsfoot knife goodness.
Dave @Horsewright has me thinking of getting back into the leather business, so here's my Lamb with some of my old carving.

I just got home from the store and found we're on page 1,000! Congrats to Jack and all the Guardians.
Congratulations to Jack Black and all the Guardians on reaching 1K. Thank you Jack for your wonderful creation.
GREAT pic of a GREAT REEL (and of the creel, also) . I've caught a lot of trout with that same model. I think it's one of the best spinning reels ever made. GRATS!I have always loved fishing and fished to catch fish. Different times of the year and in different areas certain methods work better than others so Im prepared to 'tackle' whatever Mother Nature throws at me. Spinning gear has yielded fish when flies failed.
Nice pic, Rache - tried to put your latest cat pic, but I did something wrong and can't figure out how to fix itMe too, and I don't know how to post pictures from my phone, so I'll just leave this here:
Long Live The Guardians of the Lambsfoot!
Great info and pics a usual, Jack. Thank youIt was very widespread at one time, more Lambsfoot knives had that mark (or similar) than not. It was generally a deep stamp rather than an etch or engraving though, and the blades would have been hand-forged too. Then they started using machines like this, which engraved the blades, and could handle multiple blades at a time.
Very niceThe Sound of Silence

Fantastic pic!That's a beautiful photo Dave
Love your pics of that great knife! I enjoyed them very much. Thank you for posting.unmatched bolster:
the end:
Very nice picI am very fortunate to have some fishing gear and tackle from both my Grandpa and my wife's Grandpa. I will try to get some of it out for a pic. Here's an old metal baitcasting setup of my Grandad's, that was handy.
Cool pic Jose
WOWRight, GIVEAWAY! Open to anyone who has posted previously in this thread Some of you seem to have already pre-empted my idea of asking folks to post pics of their collection of Lambsfoot knives. Post anything else too, and please put 'I'M IN', so I know it's an entry. Include a Guardians button/pin/badge in the pic, and I'll throw your name in the hat twice
Here are the prizes:
I thought some of you folks who missed out on the 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot knife in ebony might like to win one, and there's a limited edition Lambsfoot with African Rosewood covers, and a Big 'Un in that nice horn Wright's had a couple of years back (this is from then, standard production, and the blade is off-centre). So there'll be three winners, first and second names out of the hat get a choice. Hope that all sounds OK (I don't always get things right) I'm also going to post a giveaway outside this thread for someone who doesn't yet own an example of this fabulous pattern
Please enter!

I have always been fascinated by time travel GT, sadly your posts are probably the nearest thing I'll get to it! Thanks for all your kind words my friend That seems very fast for a Spanish train GT I have never been on the high-velocity train, but I used to go on the TALGO regularly, and while it had a pleasant dining car, I found it only moderately paced, particularly compared to the French TGV. Here it can take 100 minutes to get from Sheffield to Leeds by train though, a distance of just over 40 miles Maybe that's actually the nearest I'll get to time travel!
Very grateful Gary, no, we in Portugal still do not have high-speed trains, it's also a small country and I do not think it's necessary.
Most Spanish AVE are built by Alstom or Bombardier and except one from Siemens are based on the French technology. There's an agreement that allows TGV ride in Spain and AVEs in France.
Spanish railways used a wider track, but most high speed trains use standard European 1,435m tracks.

Jack, José, and JP, thanks for the informative "train talk" you've all contributed!The TGV is a great train to travel on JP, I have done the journey from Lille to Barcelona many times, but not for about 10 years. I think the TGV terminated at Montpellier then? I do remember you have to sit for about 20 minutes at Perpignon while the wheels are changed/adjusted to fit the wider Spanish track, but by then, I think you are on the TALGO, so far as I recall. I have always enjoyed European rail journeys, the worst, and most expensive, are here in the UK, though even here, there are some good routes (Scotland particularly). I remember going on the Trans-European Express in the 1970's

Thanks for granting my request, Dwight. Gorgeous knives!!Thanks GT. Yes they are similar in color and stag. Here's a pile side shot of em.

Thanks, FBC. The Super Hawk frame with seat did provide a nice addition to the living room furniture....
Always good to see you around, GT.
Motorcycles in the house? Reminds me of my childhood.
Seriously, it was not unusual to have Harley parts laying all around and a bike parked in the living room.
Thank you, GT. It’s always a pleasure to see you posting here or elsewhere in the Traditionals. Your images are no accident. Your knowledge, style, and knives are pure joy. The Valley Jack is right handsome. Be well. Until the next time.
Thanks for the supportive comments, Harvey & Jack. Jack, that's quite the "blushing bride" you have there!!...
Nicely said Harvey, come back soon GT
Every knife deserves a honeymoon
Striking photo of your outstanding ironwood lamb, Vince!Good morning, Guardians!
Good morning Guardians!
That's a stunner, Ron; congrats!! Sometime I'd enjoy seeing a pic of your entire flock of lambsfoots - you're becoming quite a shepherd!...
I like Damascus generally, but there are a few patterns which I think look too uniform. There is plenty of interest in this pattern I certainly never imagined I would own a Damascus Lambsfoot
Prime pile of pulchritude, Taylor!!View attachment 1117310

I don't know what it is about my camera. It always focuses on the ale...
Thanks for the great shots of what I'll always call your Eye of Sauron lambsfoot, David!...
Good morning Guardians.
This is one of the reasons we are moving from our home of 18 years. They are building two 5 story apartments right off our back deck Obstructing our view and peace and quiet. As you can tell the forest is gone and as a result, the squirrels, chipmunks and nesting birds are gone as well.
And of course, my trusty Lambsfoot will carry us through,

Sorry to see that your "paradise" was a victim of "progress", Dave, but your pic of what you're moving too makes me think that you shouldn't grieve TOO long! Real estate development seems to be a perpetual game of "leapfrog" with people jumping over one another to get "the best spots".Thanks, Ray I will be about 30 min away, but at least I will be able to see them, as well as the beautiful ranchland and rolling hills.
Congrats on all the fine lambsfoots you're acquiring, Barry! And you're getting them at a pace that's almost as fast as this thread moves!My two oldies:
What a mesmerizing "patina" you've developed on that memorable stag lambsfoot, Dwight!!...
Have a great weekend Guardians.View attachment 1117545
Pleasant panoramic picture, Jack!! My lambsfoot for this week is my ebony lambsfoot, also (see below).Morning Guardians, rushing about this morning, carrying some nice ebony!
Have a good day folks, the weekend is nearly here
Great to see Sköll under control, John!
Great photo, Jer! I've been challenged lately with rising gracefully from low places (bench around our kitchen table, toilet, etc. ), so I decided last week to start doing some squats while watching the weather forecast on TV each morning when I awake. I did a set of 40 last Wednesday and last Thursday, and then found that simply walking had suddenly become a challenge by Friday! Guess I'll have to institute my "thigh-strengthening program" more gradually.
I had a senior moment the other day. I tried to stand up from a footstool without pulling or pushing anything. I got maybe 2/3 up before pitching sideways into the fireplace. No fire, mercifully. It took me a while to crawl out over my dumbbells.
But I can't be old yet because my only injury was a minor scrape on one thumb-knuckle!
You need to Flitz them spurs, John!
