My lamb, all bundled up to go outside lol

That’s like 1.4 fahrenheit

That's COLD Dan!

Thanks for the excerpts from the old catalog, Jack; I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that cutlers would make skate blades among all the other types of blades they crafted.
Thanks for your encouraging words, too!

Cracker Jack is with me all week:

Scrumptious Harvey

Like most Lambfoot knives, the Extraordinary Linus works great as a carpenters marking knife, and of course...View attachment 1280345 opening packages is child's play for him!View attachment 1280344 Linus has been riding in my back pocket and faithfully handling all such chores for me this week as the perfect companion that he is!

Nice to Linus at work Ben

Morning Guardians, I had a busy day yesterday, a good hike, from which I returned worn out, but my best mate was having a birthday bash, so I got spruced up, and headed out until 2am. High winds and heavy rain here today, so I'll be finding something to do indoors Hope everyone is having a grand weekend, and that you're able to enjoy a pleasant and relaxing Sunday

Old man winter was not pleased with my post teasing him. We woke up to this

Happy Sunday Guardians
I'm going furniture shopping with my wife, I won't really need a knife.
So I'm going to take the opportunity to carry my Hartshead today.

 

[Wild Willie]

Great shot. Sounds like you have a tough job.

Thank you very much. Plowing isn't so much hard as boring. We were lucky to have both of our trucks up and running for this storm, one truck makes for some long days...

Lambsfoot content!!!

Geez Dan ! I don’t know how you and others live in those temps . I’m 33 yrs old and have only seen snow once in my life lol. Lived in Florida my whole life, not sure my body would function up north. Glad you are taking proper care to keep the lambsfoot warm.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Like Dan, an ebony regular is in the pocket today. But unlike Dan, I'm not freezing! Come West Dan

 

[Wild Willie]

Wow! You ought to move to south Texas.

Yeah but you guys have poisonous snakes, big spiders and scorpions...

 

[Prester John]

Yeah but you guys have poisonous snakes, big spiders and scorpions...

Yeah, but they're easy to kill: just stomp on them with your boots!

 

[Wild Willie]

Yeah, but they're easy to kill: just stomp on them with your boots!

After you make sure none of them are in your boots when you wake up!!!

I must say that your collection, along with your eye for a good picture never ceases to amaze me.... All I have to do anything here with is my phone. Perhaps someday I'll be able to compare with everyone else on the porch in photographic acumen and collection status. Until then I'll do what I can and just enjoy the awesome pictures and knowledge displayed here.

Ever since I got my first Lambsfoot from Jack (which I still LOVE) I’ve wanted something in stainless.

I got this one from Rodgers. I love the Barlow look. And the horn for covers. But I’m kind of unsure how i feel about it overall. The kind of “not fully open” look it has when full open seems off to me. Any opinions?

Joe

I know what you mean Joe, that cant is a bit over the top Joseph Rodgers, as I'm sure you know, were once one of the world's foremost cutlery firms, but they were finished by the early 80's, and their name, along with a few other prestigious Sheffield Cutlery names, were bought up by the firm who still own them today. I bought one of these knives, at a decent price, a few years ago, but the quality was rather poor. I don't think I'd buy another. Is there an easy way to return it?

I’ve got a theory on that blade cant. Rodgers (or whoever it is making knives with the Rodgers name nowadays) is designing knives that also function as boomerangs. That way, if you get frustrated with the questionable build quality and try to chuck it in the trash, it does a 180° midair and comes right back to ya!
