Thanks...that’s what I thoughtLet's just say you aren't the first to get something like this from A.Wright.

Waxing Moons in a Whirlpool Galaxy, FBC, that Volvo wagon is out-of-this-world, and old Black Betty is looking earthy as ever!
Lam Jack for me this week:
From what I understand, Wrights is good at fixing or replacing any defective knives. Just send them a email with a pic and explain your problem. Welcome aboard and I hope you get your Lambsfoot sorted out ASAP.Thanks...that’s what I thought

Kevin, I've had some jobs where I gave two weeks' notice, and was okay with it, but I've had others where I walked out before my shift ended and felt great! Wish you the best, man!Lam Jack is out of this world, GT.
I dig that pocket watch too.
The Hartshead Barlows showed up just in time for my last day of work. I tossed the Rosewood, that Jack so graciously sent just for the occasion, in my pocket and put in the last day.
I was wondering if other countries have the "two week notice" or is it just us silly Americans that will tell their boss "I quit" and work two more weeks so they can try to find someone to replace you.
Come to think of it, when they fire you they don't give you two weeks notice so you can find another job...... I am starting to feel like I have been duped ! I have a Hartshead Barlow in my pocket, nothing can bring me down, not even "the man" tricking me into working a extra two weeks!
What a great knife
That's unfortunate. But, I'm not surprised at all that you take such good care for your packages, even if it causes you a bit of consternation.
You know, I hadn't really thought about it, but the Hartshead will be spending most of its time in my pocket or being on-deck, so the tin does need to find a good use. I think I'll use it to hold the little first aid kit that I tuck into my pack when I'm going to be whittling away from home. It'll be a huge upgrade from the Ziploc snack bag that's holding it now.

Fantastic to see. I'm definitely pro-patina when it comes to A. Wright Lambsfoot blades. It can be a bit slow to form, but turns out quite lovely, in my opinion.
Great story, Jack. Thanks for sharing it. I agree with the others' assessment of its quality. Very well made, indeed.
Of all the pocket slips I own these are by far my favorites. I will probably never use any of the others from now on. The material is exquisite and her workmanship spot on. Thanks again Jack!
... ... thanks for the reminder... ...
Thank you Greg. I appreciate that!

Pine needles?
Hey Guardians...Glad to finally join!
I have an A. Wright question. I ordered a 4” Lambfoot in stag, and when arrived I noticed the blade is way off center. This is obviously a main blade from a 2 blade model. Is this common?

For Wooden Wednesday:
Have a great one, Guardians!
Eight days is pretty good I think @scrteened porch still holds the record, I think he took delivery in 3 days if I remember correctly! Wright's make those knives to a price, and since most of the cost is the cutler's time, they can't afford to spend too long on them, but they can still be very nice, and certainly a great user Sounds like you've jumped in with both feet!
First, I've got to give the Hartshead its due. All the stag shown so far has been excellent, but the rosewood has its own charm, as well. Elegant and sturdy, it's begging to be used. The sun is up, so pictures must be taken. The joints are flushed and oiled, and I plan to give the edge a bit of honing and put it to use. I really look forward to seeing how the bolsters patina.
Congratulations and welcome!
Congrats on the basic rosewood lamb, Fixall ! I have one that I'm very fond of.
Get Better Fixall - watch those infections- they can get nasty reeeeal Quick!
Sounds like you had quite a day Fixall ! Glad to hear you're on the mend
This is fun, José, good for you my friend!
No worries Greg I'm pretty sure I've missed a baker's dozen in reply. When I started as an apprentice all I had to use was a 15lb hand crank stuffer,so when you had an order of 100 lbs or so it was a lot of casings and a lot of cranking. About the time I was ready to leave the butcher shop the owner bought a power stuffer that held 75lbs at a time. The one positive was, I could arm wrestle guys twice my size after that.

Have a great one, Guardians!
Thanks Greg, good idea, I might even use mine for that. Hope you never need your first aid kit for anything serious my friend
I think these satin-finished blades will patina more quickly than the polished blades, but probably won't show the spectacular colours you get in the first stages of patina with the latter. Thanks again Greg, I'll be sure to pass on all the positive comments
Whew! I had planned on being much more active on the forum today, but I've had a heck of a day, let me tell ya!
