Haha, yeah, I'm really not good at keeping things pristine. I don't have any non-users... but I got pretty close with this new one, actually... held off cutting anything with it for a full 4 days before I couldn't take it anymore. Funny cause I specifically intended to not use it when I bought it...Looks like you put it straight to use![]()

Thanks! I guess so. Or jigged bone. Oh, what about smooth white bone!?!All thanks to you, Jack.

I'm sitting on the porch. I've ran and extension cord to my computer, my wife is bringing me meals as I refuse to come inside...![]()
Just told my kid to run in and grab one for me.You'll probably need a blanket if it doesn't arrive until tomorrow.![]()
It is addicting, isn't it? I'll bet you could come up with some fine looking re-covers for those.
Is the A.Wrights a current production? I've never seen the "real lamb foot" etch on a composite covered knife.
Thanks Jack!I reckon so buddy, as are you![]()

It may not have the etch but it’s definitely Real!Okay, I don't have a "REAL LAMBFOOT" as noted by the plain blade, but awesome none the less. Ebony is nice.

It's all your fault Jack.I'm certain you are single-handedly responsible for doubling, tripling (or even more
) the number of lambsfoot knives in this country.

Jack Black - In this description, what does 31.25 mean? Is it the Model Number or what?

It LOOKS like a more current build to me, but who knows?? The composite isn't very beat up, and the blade is overall pretty clean.
The things we will do to get a Lambsfoot pic, haha!Taking this photo was certainly memorable Harvey, I had to sneak through a gate onto a private parking lot, jog across the lot, scramble up a steep bank, and pull myself up on a fence in order to get a shot opposite the TEW works!![]()

Why does this thread always make me hungry?Quite some time ago, some of you might recall that I decided to undertake the making of a "proper" chip butty. It was an interesting experience and I replicated it on a number of occasions afterwards. I haven't made one for quite some time though, as I've been trying to cut back on my gross carb intake (beer doesn't count).
Well, inspired by Greg's chicken processing and the wonderful performance of the Waynorth jigged at simply cutting up an apple, I decided to make a chip butty for breakfast this morning. However, this time, I was going to put my own spin on it. It definitely will not be a traditional chip butty but it will certainly be inspired by one. Of course, a Lambsfoot will be responsible for all of the food prep.
First, like always, we kick things off with some strong coffee.
![]()
Since the potatoes take the longest to cook, I prepped them first. A couple of things to note here: Not only does the length of the Waynorth Lambsfoot facilitate easy processing of the potatoes, the thin blade just sails through them. I made short work of these red potatoes (these are a household staple), cutting them up in slices that would lay flat on bread.
![]()
Here is the beginning of my own "spin". I cut up a number of veggies, including the squash and zucchini that I harvested from my garden, setting them aside for now until the potatoes had progressed a bit more. The knife sailed through all of the veggies. The mushrooms posed a bit of a problem in that they had a tendency to stick to the blade.
![]()
After the potatoes and veggies were finished, I toasted some bread, grated some extra sharp white cheddar (made right here in Oregon), and brought out a number of appropriate condiments.
![]()
Breakfast is served! An open faced chip butty with fresh cooked veggies, spices, extra sharp white cheddar. Topped with a couple of sunny side up eggs and a few liberal dashes of Henderson's. Pretty tasty, if I do say so myself. The Lambsfoot performed its tasks admirably, it is a slicing machine!

Have a great day allView attachment 1162810
I'm sitting outside, pondering the knife in my hand...
Why is this knife my favorite? I currently own about 30 knives, and HAVE owned a hundred more... Why this one?
A gift from Jack... Strong pulls... butter-smooth action... replace-ability makes me not afraid to use it (I have backups)... African Rosewood makes it kind of unique... straight blade is easy to sharpen... easy to strop back up... gigantic nail mark is easy to locate... size is perfect for hand and pocket... shape fills the hand... slim enough for the watch pocket... 'snap' is ridiculous... wonderful fidget toy... won't close on you by accident... blade perfectly centered... satin blade wears well and continues to look good... perfect blade shape for opening packages... cutting food... carving sticks... fine tip control... unique blade shape makes people ask about it... fit and finish are not perfect but definitely above average... takes a lot of abuse and shrugs it all off... earning its keep... it's unique in my little world... it looks like a hard use knife, not a safe queen... a gift from Jack...
You are right, can you imagine the damage that could occur if the HHB fell off at the speeds that could be obtained by that thing?!Cool photo, FBC, and I'm sure your stag HHB is securely lashed to the car, but you really ought to invest in one of those lambsfoot roof racks!![]()
You folks are quite the enablers, aren't you? These just in...

Not sure I'll keep the composite covers forever, but they are a nice addition to my tiny flock. This is quite addicting!
Yep!No doubt you have been bitten!

Ha Ha!!!I have way more Lambsfoot knives than I ever thought I'd have!!!

Where is the description from Ed/ Wright's have a very confusing catalogue system, (and most of their dealers are pretty clueless too), but I guess that is their Model 31 1/4, the smallest Lambsfoot they do

R8shell, thats a nice gathering of great looking knives!
Thank you!Nice pic of your flock Rachel![]()
Thanks!Nice choice Vince![]()

It's not as pretty as my ironwood, but it has a great texture. The ironwood is a little slick.There's a lot to be said for those rosewood knives I think![]()

Ironwood sure is beautiful. The pic was taken on a cast iron comal, which is used to cook tortillas on.You're a purist Vince![]()

Thanks for the most enjoyable post, Dylan.
Very nice shot, Dwight.

You are right, can you imagine the damage that could occur if the HHB fell off at the speeds that could be obtained by that thing?!I was actually a little scared that it would slip and fall while I was carrying it to the street....and that I might be run over while taking Lambsfoot pics.
The mark side of Valley Jack looks like a river running though the valley floor.....Well, to me anyway.![]()
Funny how this pattern grabs ya!
Btw, I agree withkamagong , it's all Jack's fault.
![]()
Thanks Jack. That makes sense. Yes, it's from a dealer. I believe it's a small one as the blade is described as 6.5cm. Anyway, we'll see next week when it gets here. It has Buffalo Horn covers.
With all the recent excitement, I can’t neglect this one.

Thanks to Chin's generous expertise, I have modified my Hartshead Barlow pile side to be more of a match with the mark cover. Potassium permangate dissolved in water and painted onto the cover with a Q-tip: dab, wait 30 seconds, wipe off and wait a couple minutes for the purple to turn tan brown. Repeat until the color you want is achieved. I like it, very much.
