Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good Afternoon Guardians
Call me crazy, but I absolutely LOVE the Rich Tea Biscuits.

Let’s hope page 2020 of this thread is better than 2020 the year! (At least it’ll go by faster.)

Looks like she's popping out of the can!

It does, doesn’t it?

Thanks Barrett, wee tinder pouch I picked up at the Jorvik Viking Festival

I can't remember the last time I had a Viennese Whirl, I've certainly never bought them. For the past 20 years, it's been only very occasionally I've brought home biscuits/cookies, cake, candy, pie, etc, as I can polish them off pretty quickly, and would end up being a lot fatter than I am already When, I do buy biscuits, I tend to go with the simple ones, such as Digestives, or Fig Rolls (Fig Newtons) occasionally. During the lockdown, I thought I should treat myself a little, but as it's gone on so long now, the combination of pies (only 3 in 2 months), biscuits, and a LOT of beer, and less exercise than usual, is something I may need to address

For some reason I’ve always fascinated by all sorts of small containers, pouches, etc. That pouch looks like a nice one!

I didn’t figure the Viennese Whirl would be your kind of biscuit. They are very sweet, but I have to admit that I enjoyed them when I’ve had them — and those were just the packaged Mr. Kipling ones. I’d imagine they might be even better homemade, although I don’t know if that’s the sort of thing people actually do (other than the types who go on that Bake Off show).

I admire your restraint when it comes to indulging in sweets; I’m often not very good at resisting the temptation, and I, too, have given myself a bit too much leeway during the last few months!

My new normal for good.

I’m guessing 4T’s is a local brewery? Looks like you‘re stocked up on stouts!

Not every woman is as cool as Rachel.

Sad but true!

Oh no... That one looks far to good.
I'm speaking of the 1982 post apocalyptic thriller.

Apparently in the future, bad guys (including Frankenstein's monster), will be stored in crates.

Worst movie ever: "They Saved Hitler's Brain"

Interesting story, Rachel. I'm almost sure we always called them "strainers" when I was a lad, but I have no recollection of when I started using the term "colander" for a holey aluminum bowl. What did you call the wire-mesh "basket" with a long handle? I still call those strainers.

That's what we called/call strainers.
My colanders are Mirros, marked on the outside just under the rolled rim.

I believe those were called "sifters" as in flour sifters, although the very smallest one might be a "tea strainer"

Here's my Rosewood Hartshead, with a friend:

My Staffordshire Bull Terrier, June turned 12 today!

 

[Half/Stop]

Stan has wonderful grain in his Ironwood.

Thanks John!

Thank you so much, Ron. I love how you have captured the beautiful grain in that Ironwood.

I think I will join you in carrying a bit of Ironwood today - switch it up a little. This time, I'll show off the pile side - markedly different, yet striking.

Thanks Dylan, I get lucky and get a good photo every once in a while! Now you my friend are consistently providing us with beautiful images to enjoy! The pile side is stunning Dylan!

Ron, maybe I like that knife so much because it enjoys chili dogs!

My Lambsfoot this week is my Man Jack:

Chili dogs! Man Jack!

 

[cigarrodog]

My Lambsfoot this week is my Man Jack:

Thank you GT. Angle and perspective might exaggerate the perceived sizes of the two, but that perception isn’t far off. Always good to see your handsome Man Jack.

Call me crazy

Crazy.

 

[Jack Black]

Sounds great Jack! Pam's working in the office today. I left out at 6am this morning to pick up some bolts and a new drill bit at Home Depot. It's going to be another beautiful day here. The highs are going to be in the upper 80's and the humadity is also creeping back up! I'm just enjoying a leisurely morning on the forum with my friends. Sitting here enjoying a nice cup of French Roast and a couple of beautiful knives!

That all sounds good to me Ron

Another morning and on the way to Wound Care again today but I'm not carrying a Lambfoot with me. However, I've assigned this "Lil-un" with Pere David Stag and upswept handle desk duty.

Hope Wound Care went OK Ed That must look good on your desk

They've seen my Lambsfoot.
They are generally unimpressed.

Not every woman is as cool as Rachel.

My new normal for good.

I hope the day has been going well for everyone today.

'ere! 'ere! Les

Thank you, Jack. A fine pic of your Hartshead this morning - interesting comic too, I like it.

...

Thank you Dylan, great pic Wow! That pile side sure is striking

The following images are a fair representation of my Pére David. The handles are a departure from what I’m used to. The oddness is part of it’s attraction to me. I love the way this knife feels in my grip. As I examine the knife more closely, I notice its’ flaws, but I find it’s overall look and feel more than compensate for any single issue.

I’m with you on blade centering. No blade rubs, so no worries. Action is quite good. The Pho and apple pie goes nicely with your Hartshead.

Thank you Harvey, I'm glad you're pleased with your new Lambsfoot, chunky stag can certainly make for a comfortable user, and yours looks handsome Cutting stag thin, from the inside, leaving the bark, seems to be a skill the Sheffield cutlers have either lost or choose not to use, for the most part

JJ is a good nomination, Harvey; I'll second that!

If you want to enter GT, I'll be happy to give JJ a second shot

Join the crowd, Jack! I'm frequently accused of being full of one substance or another!
The governor of my state announced yesterday that grocery stores may start accepting bottle/can returns (with limitations TBA) starting 15 June.
Thanks for the color commentary!

My Lambsfoot this week is my Man Jack:

Nice pic of your Man Jack Gary

Today’s carry and bake.

Looking good Dave

Good Afternoon Guardians
Call me crazy, but I absolutely LOVE the Rich Tea Biscuits.

LOL! That's good John, you're a cheap date! Would you ever refer to them as cookies though? I was wondering about that, and some online research saw US aficionados referring to them as 'English tea biscuits'. I have come across very similar plain biscuits in a lot of countries. Nice photo my friend

Yes indeed!

Same here Barrett Thanks pal

I’d imagine they might be even better homemade, although I don’t know if that’s the sort of thing people actually do (other than the types who go on that Bake Off show).

I don't think I've ever turned down a biscuit!

I admire your restraint when it comes to indulging in sweets; I’m often not very good at resisting the temptation, and I, too, have given myself a bit too much leeway during the last few months!

My lack of restraint is the reason I don't generally have them in the house Barrett!

Fresh from the tin, and looking good my friend

Sad but true!

I haven't heard that word in ages Rachel

Nice Staffie Taylor

Good Morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and keeping safe. It's raining quite heavily here today, first time in weeks (we had the sunniest May on record). Don't think I'll be going far today, but I'm carrying my Rosewood Big 'Un just in case Have a good day Guardians

 

[Pt-Luso]

Your MM Barlow looks great. I'll be getting my MM Sheffield Barlow back from being reconstructed soon. Pictures look good. It's been a long and arduous road with this thing and I will share with all once it's back with me.

Thank you, Bill. I hope yours looks great.

 

[Pt-Luso]

 

[Half/Stop]

Good morning y’all! I’m taking Dylan’s lead and showing my backside this morning! Stay safe and well my friends!

Looking buff Ron!

Thank you Jack!

 

[Jack Black]

Thank you Jack!

Sorry for the late edit there Ron, you were fast there my friend

 

[Half/Stop]

Looking buff Ron! I hope you don't mind me joining in

Lol Jack! I’m drinking Sumatra single source this morning so I’m wide awake with catlike reflexes! I’m glad you’ve joined in because the backside of your Rosewood big’un is very nice Jack! Love that mug buddy!

Good for you pal Thank you very much

 

[JohnDF]

Crazy.

You called?

LOL! That's good John, you're a cheap date! Would you ever refer to them as cookies though?

I would call them a cookie, although they do remind me of what you'd get if you crossed a cookie with a cracker. I really like the texture and the mellow flavor, my boys do too. They won't last long.

One of my boys hit the nail on the head when he said they had the same flavor as Animal Crackers.

That border had me really confused first thing in the morning.

Great photos, Ron and Jack.

 

[JohnDF]

Good Morning Guardians
It's supposed to be 104 degrees today, That's Skoll weather.

 

[Onebigbill]

LOL! No I've not but I'll make it my new lockdown mission to do so.







Thanks chaps. It looks like a proper piece of quality kit.



My new normal for good.

Was that the one with huge gaps and a near right angle blade?




The one with Ursula Andress?

Ahh that's a shame. I worked in a haunted pub for a couple of years and sensitivity, or lack thereof, seemed to be no obstacle for anyone watching and listening to those shenanigans.

Yep David, My MM lambfoot looked near impossible to do anything with. All I have are pictures of what it now looks like. Very much improved thanks to @jsdistin. I was refunded my money by the maker and got to keep the knife too so putting a few $$ into it was worth the gamble.
