I’m afraid my phrasing was misleading. There was just the one photo of the trio. I meant that I’d considered “The three amigos” before settling on “one for all, all for one” for the caption.
Thanks for asking. It’s been more stable so far this year. I don’t know whether that is from the conditioning with my wood balm, our atypical weather this spring, its age, or just plain luck. I’ll keep you posted.
...
So, you could say you’ve become their chip
buddy? Sorry, couldn’t resist.
...
Thanks for the clarification, Greg.
I actually understood the naming reference, I somehow managed to miss the single photo itself. Haste makes waste, I fear!
Thanks for the horn update, too.
The Horn on my 2017 Guardians lambsfoot is near-perfect here in humid July, but I think it shrinks in the dry cold of Michigan winter.
"Chip Buddy": Resistance is futile!
But Gary, Soylent Green is people, but Spam is just pork shoulder and ham.
Thanks, Vince.
I often forget to read the labels for ingredients.
Thanks Gary, great post
And a great pic of your Valley Jack
...
Thank you GT, but I often think the same about you, and I know I am not alone in that. I think someone once said that they couldn't imagine a knife that you wouldn't like
...
Thanks, Jack; Valley Jack is VERY photogenic, doubly so because of his two different, but both appealing, sides.
I have to admit that, while I rejoice with others over their enjoyment of almost any knife, a LOT of those knives are probably not my personal "cup of tea".
I think it's rather shameful the way Lucy snuggles up to that poor celibate Monk, showing off her charms.
...
My interests only vary so much. It's either Sci-Fi, Cowboy stuff, Jeeps, or Fishing.
...
Don't forget knives and family, John!
All those interests must keep you BUSY!

In probably the most generous act of kindness I've seen on The porch,
Modoc ED
gifted me his own Waynorth Lamb. I mean, these knives are fetching a pretty good sum on the market and are highly sought after. I thought he was crazy for doing it, but I appreciate it so much. ED, I cannot even begin to thank you enough for your generosity and kindness. You are all that is good about the forum and the Guardians in particular.
Everybody... Three Cheers for ED.
There were other goodies in the gift box, but I'll post about those on the main forum (not Lambsfoot).
As I said in your other related thread, John, congrats and it's hard for me to imagine a more fitting recipient!
Boola! Boola! Boola! to ED for his thoughtful beneficence!!
I'm sure I could think of something, but I believe it would probably look best unmarked.
You northerners aren't used to hot weather like that. Remember to stay hydrated!
I need to take some new pictures of the patinaed bolsters this weekend.
...
I forgot that you are not only talented in the art of scrimshaw, but also quite a fan of unmarked smooth white bone handles!
Thanks for the hot advice!
Cool pic: the shadows on the rosewood handle of your HHB look sort of like a random scripting pattern!

5K Qs
- Valley Jack has so much character, GT.
I appreciate your saying so, Harvey.
...
And, now, before Jack's alarm goes off I better post a lambsfoot.....

Dwight, your "little black lambsfoot" is just a picture of elegance and distinction!
...
Thank you for the kind words, Gary! Actually, you my biggest influence when I first joined the forum! I was impressed how you were able to say something kind about so many posts!
...
Thanks, Gary! She's scared, but she's a great carry!
...
A positively premium pronouncements, Gary! Many
prfm .....
Thanks!
Ah, a Lambsfoot on a Hot Tin Lid?
Such a great valley lamb, and a great perspective!
...
Dennis, I'm honored that you were influenced by me in the way you post here.
Now the tables are turned!
I'm glad you kept that blond horn knife with its blemish instead of returning it!
Thanks for your compliment on my Valley Jack, here and in your following post.
...
Cooler days coming...eventually...
But a nice photo Gary!
...
The bold "chevron" feathering on your big horn lambsfoot is noteworthy, Dennis!
Morning folks, raining here today, but I'm not too bothered, been a good week, and now it's Friday
Black Power, Jack!!
Good morning, Guardians.
The bolsters on your HHB are such a bonus, José!
I enjoy your ebullience over your ebony lambsfoot, John!
That's one very Fancy Dancer, Dwight!
...
Have a great weekend Guardians.

Imposing, immaculate ironwood, Dwight, and an inviting photo!
Valley Jack claims that I must post a pic of him EVERY day he's carried, even if it's 7
consecutive days
. I'll teach him who's boss by posting "warm" and "noir" filtered photos!
