Yes, a real shame You too my friend
Happy Friday, Guardians!
Friday is my favorite day of the work week.
Hope you all get to do something you enjoy this weekend.

I do like the way you kept the contours of the stag. I'll bet it feels like a worry stone.
Looks like that one has been getting plenty of use Dennis
Nice catch Mr Pink
The Brothers look good Ron
Two great posts Ron
LOL!
Here's a pic of my horn Big 'Un with a bucket
Here's the bucket
Charlie @waynorth has a few nice horn models too, but I had to buy a lot of knives to get some good ones. In the case of this one, I was lucky enough to spot it at the factory while looking round with @herder (that was under the old ownership). I subsequently asked to have horn like this on half of the 2018 Guardians Knives, but I got something completely different. So, once again, as a lone punter, ordering is a complete lottery, and I've had a lot of bad experiences with the horn from this manufacturer, such as it lifting off the scales. Horn can look great, and I think we were lucky to get some good stuff for the 2017 Guardians knives, but personally, I'd steer clear of horn, it's just too much of a gamble, and if you have problems with it, you're likely to be stuck with a knife that you can either get re-covered or put in a drawer 
Thought I'd go with the Almond today
Thanks Jack, here are some Chickadee action shots
The Lincoln Memorial: There are always so many people here it is hard to get a photo without a person in it.
Good afternoon guardians! I've been spending most of my free time this past week polishing the stag on a lambfoot I picked up last year. I have mixed feelings with the Pere David stag and I must admit, I like this knife a lot better with its new shine. Probably sacrilege, but oh well....
Only have the mark side done so far.... pile side next then a good sharpening.

donn As a church historian, I love your coverage of various church buildings. The mention of bells reminded me of my visit to Carlisle where the bells sounded like someone beating a piece of sheet metal with a sledge hammer. It was not something I wanted to hear daily.
Now for a comparison of Eye Witness and Wright file work:

Carlisle is the most besieged city in the realm and over the centuries has suffered a lot of damage; including the cathedral, so I wonder if that's something to do with it. The Norman Nave was half destroyed during our civil war so Carlisle cathedral is, AFAIK the only cathedral where the Chancel is longer than the Nave. 
I was watching that 'Made in Britain' show last week and part of it showed the production of Jagger Razors of Sheffield. The Model 301 I think.
Great shot. You are a true birdman.
Great shots. I wish our leaders still thought and spoke like that.
That's great work, thanks for showing. I have a Wrights knife that may benefit from similar treatment.
Crikey that couldn't of been good on the ears.
It was my HHB today but it'll be the rosewood in a sec as I need something with a bit more clout with which to make some parsnip soup.
Hope everyone's having a decent Friday.
I was thinking of getting a Jagger razor some years back, but was totally put off by their promotional material, which said something like 'Sheffield has been producing cutlery and razors for nearly a hundred years'. With such ignorance of the city's history, I thought they must be some daft Johnny-come-lately's Nice to know they're made in Sheffield at least (assuming that is the case) Enjoy your parsnip soup, and your weekend 
Strumming good tunes with your Lamb.
That was a great update, Ron.
Hope your weekend and the weather afford you some relaxation, Jack.

Good Morning Guardians
Your ebony WCLF seems to have taken over your pocket my friend Walking the trails the day after a big wind storm uprooted some trees along the path. ( pic from 3 weeks ago before the "white stuff descended upon the land
Mmm, parsnips.
And maybe I'll go to the Nature Center today.
It's my Lambsfoot of the Week.Your ebony WCLF seems to have taken over your pocket my friend
I may not achieve “screaming sharp, but I’m enjoying the journey. Your Man Jack Senator gets my vote.

Have a great weekend Guardians 
Ey up David
Interesting post, as always David
Wow! Nearly one hundred years! It would take ten times that just to produce whats on your kitchen table
Yeah the programme said Jagger Razors are produced in Sheffield. Some of the machining is done by different companies but their all Sheffield based, though you wouldn't think that when watching that waffling video of theirs.
Parsnip soup enjoyed thanks. Hope your enjoying your Friday.
I haven't been out all day, so I'm going kind of stir crazy David! That looks good my friend
