I like rosewood lambsfoot knives; thanks, Dave!

Almost Friday. C'mon weekend!

I like ironwood lambsfoot knives; thanks, Mark!

Good Morning Guardians
Strong black coffee and a Lamb to match. Starting the day right...

I like ebony lambsfoot knives; thanks, John!

...
I’ve got my Stag Hartshead today! Hope y’all have a great day!

I like Barlow lambsfoot knives; thanks, Ron!

Hmmm. Lovely examples of rosewood, ironwood, ebony, and stag on this page, but no horn yet. Ok. I’ll take one for the team and carry this one to make an ordinary Thursday a little more special.

...

I like horn lambsfoot knives; thanks, Greg!

L'il one is starting the first day in the pocket. GT inspired reading

I like little lambsfoot knives; thanks, Mike!
I hope you like the Foundation trilogy, Mike!

That staff should come in handy when you need to cross a stream over a log and some knave is trying to come the other way. Smite his pate!

Thanks, Gary, but Jack's the King of Watery Backgrounds!

Your advice regarding the staff sounds familiar, Vince, and made me snort with food in my mouth.
There's no doubt that Jack is the watery king, but your pics are still impressive to a nonresident of Texas who equates "Texas" with "dry", regardless of how unfactual that may be.

...
5K Qs - Thanks GT. Your Man Jack looks great with the patina.

Good Morning Guardians.

Thanks, Harvey.
Intriguing photo! What is the orange/black/crumbly background??

If you don't mind Greg, I'll join you and carry my Big-Un with Horn today.

I like big lambsfoot knives; thanks, ED!

Good news! The first tests came back normal now it's onto further testing with a Surgeon in October.
paulhilborn has been more than helpful sharing his diagnosis and treatment, this has really helped set us at ease.
Thank you goes out to all, for your encouraging words.

Great news, Dave; thanks for sharing it here!

A full explanation here - https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/broken-clasp-knife-transformation.1680419/

Thank you, sir. I read that other thread; very impressive work!

Thanks GT!

Yes, I used a raw potato. First, I degreased Tater's blade with 91% rubbing alcohol. Then I stuck it in "up to the hilt" and left it overnight. About 8 hours. The next morning, after I cleaned the blade off with Dawn and water (rubbing with a patch of old t-shirt), it wasn't as consistent as I wanted. So I stuck it in again, but this time moved the blade back and forth and up and down a few times to get the tater juices smeared around better. Left it again for about 8 hours, then cleaned and mineral oiled it. I find that this patina makes it a little easier to pinch open too.

Thanks for sharing your private potato patina procedure!!

...
A man couldn't ask for more.
Btw, until a few days ago, I had no idea that the "Bam Ba Lamb" band what named Ram Jam.

I didn't know that Man Jack had such a fancy back side.
...
Jake was telling them tales from his home land.

Man Jack is developing a fine patina
...

FBC, Man Jack appreciates your praise of his patina and backspring.
That "Old Black Betty" is performed by Ram Jam makes life even more sweet. (If you haven't seen it, the You Tube video is fine entertainment (I think I posted it here before):

)
I can imagine that Jake is quite a teller of tales; comes with the territory when you've got stamped bolsters, I suppose.
Another thought-provoking car photo! I'll bet that bug is either underpowered or over-tired! (Is "over-tired" even a word in this context?? Is over-rubbered any better??)

...
Oh, how cool! I should learn to do that. Do the reference points for time have to change as the seasons progress?
...

I'm guessing accuracy would require not only seasonal adjustments, but also adjustment for position within time zone. I grew up on the western edge of Eastern Time, and I'm sure the sun positions at say 9am were quite different on our Michigan farm and in Times Square!

Interesting to note: I had to get caught up on both the Totin' thread and this one. It was curious to me that this thread moves just about as quickly, the number of posts needing to be read being about the same as over there.
...

Dylan, I'll bet the average post length is higher in this thread than is the case in the Totin' Today thread, which results in my perception that this thread takes longer to keep up with.
Nice photo of your produce and ebony WCLF!

I try pal

Me too pal Man Jack is looking good
...

Thanks for your attention, Jack.

I like stag lambsfoot knives; here are the two I have.

5K Qs Thank you GT. The background is in the Childrens’ portion of the park where they use chalk to draw on. When you shoot standing up, the surface looks much smoother. I like to get very close, on my knees, to show detail. Those Stag Lambfoot knives of yours makes for a winning pair.

I have one in Ebony accompanying me today. Shown with yet another gathering of these delicious little guys. The big ones will be ready soon, turning into quite a harvest of tomatoes.

Fine photo Dylan, glad to hear you're getting a good crop

It struck me the other day that “lambsfoot” refers both to a recognized pattern (i.e., the classic Sheffield Lambsfoot Knife) and to said pattern’s main, or only, blade. So, we routinely talk here about lambsfoot knives and also knives with lambsfoot blades.

That’s not news to anyone who frequents this thread, but what surprises me is that I haven’t been able to think of any other knives where the exemplar pattern is named after the blade (or vice versa? which came first...?). We don’t tend, e.g., to say “he carried his clip point today” or “she sliced it with her spey” without also, at least implicitly, referring to the pattern, even if it’s just a jack knife.

Is the lambsfoot truly unique in this regard, or am I just failing to identify other examples?

Edit: thanks to 5K Qs , Jack Black , @kamagong, and @Cambertree for providing other examples. No need to derail the thread with others.
