Thanks for the info about Nordic skating, Dan; that video of the guy on thin black ice was amazing! Enjoyable photo of your family framed by the lambsfoot!

Gracias Jack !The weather there looks beautiful Dan, and those are wonderful photos Congratulations on the improved time Many of the old Sheffield cutlery firms used to make ice-skates
From Marples 1903 catalogue, which also contains a couple of Lambsfoot knives
Amazing to see the skates on the old catalog along with the lambsfoot knives
The pics prompted me to search online and read about the history of skating.
Fascinating to learn about "Fen skating" in the Fenland of England
I also noticed the fluted bolster on the bottom knife has what looks like 3 big grooves in it.
Perhaps it's a common feature but it caught my attention as I had not seen a bolster like it
Couple more pics from yesterday
