Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Onebigbill]

Great to see Black Jack GT



I'm glad you finally got your prize! Hope you enjoy using it



I'll see if I can find some more pics Bill I took that photo at a local canal festival we went to, not sure who organised the Morgans, a local club I imagine

I'm with you on the Malts Bill, far too precious to dilute Excellent composition





Thanks guys



LOL! I don't think so Jer, but there could have been I guess. I've never had them

Thanks Jack - my motto is..."I'm too old to drink cheap booze"

 

[Onebigbill]

Thank you kindly, Dennis.


Cool image, Dennis.


Smashing images, Chin. Always a treat.


Yes. 7.65 mm is a 32 Cal., same as my Seecamp. My Dad fought and was wounded at the Battle of Bulge.He was in the 3rd Armored Division. Love to see a pic. A 32 cal. is a “belly gun.” Good concealment.

I inherited from my father-in-law, who was an MP in Paris who liberated from a POW, a 25 cal officer’s pistol.

Here's some photos of a FN semi-auto model 1910. Serial #7201 (date of mfr 1912-1913) My dad liberated this pistol during the Battle of the Bulge sometime between October 3rd and 17th 1944 in Butgenbach, Belgium. There he sustained a severe injury during a V1 rocket attack and had part of his left hand amputated. Later that year (in December) they liberated Malmedy, Belgium where SS troops, before retreating, massacred 84 US servicemen. My father was in the headquarters Battalion of the 200th Field Artillery and recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals.

And here's my favorite knife, my HHB

 

[cigarrodog]

That is quite an heirloom Harvey, great pics

Thank you Jack. It’s a nice touchstone to both of them.

I thought I'd drop my AC in my pocket today

Your AC is a stunner. Lovely covers. Excellent image, Jack.

Those cufflinks are fantastic and must of taken some real skill

Thank you David. I wish I had that skill.

But of course this was back in the day when teachers would receive gratitude off the parents for disciplining their children and not lawsuits.

That's a great story about your dad Harvey. Do you still shoot it?

Thank you David. Neither my father-in-law, or myself have ever fired it. If I ever did, it would need spa tx, and fresh rounds.

That knife looks similar to tasty baked good!

Thank you GT.

Black Jack in the woodlot:

Black Jack is looking great, GT.

Looks like I'm an official member now.

A great Lamb Foot to start the journey. Congratulations!

Good Afternoon Guardians

 

[Onebigbill]

Harvey, Great pile side photo of your HHB!

 

[tmd_87]

Idk how many limes I sliced this passed week... but it was a lot...

When I got home picked the garden and made pickled carrots and green beans

Feels like I haven't posted here in ages. Hope everyone had a fantastic father's day!!!

Much respect for your Father. Can’t thank him and everyone else, enough. Thank you for sharing, as well as the images of the liberated pistol.

Harvey, Great pile side photo of your HHB!

Thank you kindly, Bill. Your Hartshead caught some beautiful light.

 

[Jack Black]

Good Morning Guardians and anyone else looking in.

All lined up in a row.

Great line-up Ed

We enjoyed our trip Jack, looking forward to seeing pics of some of the beers you received today
Good work on the ebony knives you sent out



Nice picture of those 4 Ed

That's good to hear Rob Thank you my friend I sure got a lot of beer yesterday, there must be 200 bottles! Thought I'd stock up while the going is good Here's one of the new ones I had last night

Yeah but boy did we know how to behave.
I'm surprised that chap didn't gag you at the same time.



Aye it is, I love cockles. Of course they make your beer go flat.
Great song, not seen that before.

Fresh supply acquired. However they've changed the label since the last time I bought some.

LOL! I was just warming up aged seven, but I got there

Do you not know the song David? I've known it since I was a small child

Good work! Henderson's seems to be very widely available now, their production must have increased quite a bit since the days when they had two old ladies filling bottles by hand (in the 90's)! They've had that label a few years now I think, and seem to alternate it, but I prefer the other. Still a great pic though

Still can't take pictures so I'm posting old ones and I may get some I've recently posted.

I really like that pic Randy

A quick trip to the comic book store...
Wasn't sure about the DC Re-Birth, but it wasn't bad.

I'm way out of touch with comics I'm afraid Cool pic John

What an incredible story Bill, what a generation. We owe men like your father so much Thanks for telling us about him, and for the great pics

Thank you Jack. It’s a nice touchstone to both of them.

Sounds like you've been busy Taylor Amazing patina on your Lambsfoot, and the pickles look great too

Good Morning Guardians, I went to bed exhausted last night, but woke up at first light. I can see a nap in store this afternoon First order of business today is finding more places to put all the beer that is still cluttering up my hall Looks like a nice day outside again here in Yorkshire Have a good one Guardians Back with my Hartshead Barlow today

 

[mitch4ging]

Lovely Lambsfoot, but I didn't need THAT song stuck in my head. Lol...

, I know, it was stuck in my brain too long after I posted it, glad I didn't post the video!

I was down at Phillip Island on the weekend and these highland cattle certainly would have had pretty sharp haircuts back then!

Beautiful photos and country! I love the look of Highland cattle.

Great looking lambfoot knife Dennis

Thank you very much, Bill!

The lawn, BTW, is pictured here from my former residence - 3 acres of mowed yard.

Great photo, Bill! Great looking Morgan!

Since it's Monday, I've rotated my knives again, and my lambsfoot this week is Black Jack, the Guardians ebony lambsfoot:

A real handsome Black Jack, Gary! It deserves the "pedestal "!

I know what knife I'll be carrying the rest of the week! Better photos tomorrow.

What a dandy! Congratulations! Jack is an incredibly fine gentleman!

Almost forgot to thank you for the kind words regarding my lawn...thanks!

Classy all the way around, Bill!

almost done and of course had a couple of beers in the late afternoon.

Nothing better than a couple of beers after a busy day!

Cool image, Dennis.

Thank you much my friend!

Harvey, I have a 7.65 mm ACP that my Dad liberated during the Battle of the Bulge. I think that it is the same as a 32 cal. Your take?

Yes. 7.65 mm is a 32 Cal., same as my Seecamp. My Dad fought and was wounded at the Battle of Bulge.He was in the 3rd Armored Division. Love to see a pic. A 32 cal. is a “belly gun.” Good concealment

I inherited from my father-in-law, who was an MP in Paris who liberated from a POW, a 25 cal officer’s pistol.

Great history with both of your fathers! Glad you have an incredible family heirloom to pass along!
I had obtained two Makarov's 9x18 in the Gulf, one for my dad (two tours of Vietnam) and one for me, but the upper echelon would not allow us to bring anything back, it did upset me more than a bit!

I thought I'd drop my AC in my pocket today Have a good day Guardians

The apple of your eye? Love your AC, Jack!

Great looking ebony, José!

Cool pic!

Thank you very much, Gary!

Black Jack in the woodlot:

Such beautiful ebony, my favorite material! Ace's with that one, GT!

Good morning Guardians! Raining here today so my activity will be indoors. I’m going to be carrying my Waynorth Cutlery Jigged Bone Lambsfoot! Have a safe and productive day!

Fantastic photograph of your WCLF, Ron!

Home run for sure with that one, Chuck!

 

[mitch4ging]

Mulder and Scully found their way out of the woods, so I've got my rosewood big'un in my pocket today.

I hope Queequeg made it out with them!?

And Lambfoot content with a lil sumpin for a hot afternoon.

We've been to Branson a couple of times, enjoy getting on Table Rock Lake, but will have to look up Lake Taneycomo, looks a little more peaceful. Great shot of your Lambsfoot, great looking knife for sure, Rob!

Good morning Guardians

Cool photo, Dan! What is it abiut railroad tracks that draws us, i love walking along them. Maybe reminders of childhood adventures!

Good Morning Guardians

Things are looking Rosie for you, John!

I think I'm gonna like it

Wow, congratulations, Don! Welcome and look forward to more posts from you.

Good Morning Guardians and anyone else looking in.

All lined up in a row.

A great lineup, Ed! Hope you continue to heal up and get healthy!

Fresh supply acquired. However they've changed the label since the last time I bought some.

Spicy shot of your HHB, David!

Still can't take pictures so I'm posting old ones and I may get some I've recently posted.

A class "A" photo, Randy!

A quick trip to the comic book store...
Wasn't sure about the DC Re-Birth, but it wasn't bad.

Very cool, John!! Haven't bought a comic book in 30 years, for my sons of course! Nice photo!

Good Afternoon Guardians

Sweet treat! Great color blending, Harvey!

Idk how many limes I sliced this passed week... but it was a lot...

Well used and well cared for Lambsfoot, Taylor! Glad you're getting a good harvest!

I sure got a lot of beer yesterday, there must be 200 bottles! Thought I'd stock up while the going is good Here's one of the new ones I had last night

Grand shot, Jack! Two great "hobbies "!

Have a good one Guardians Back with my Hartshead Barlow today

Another nice photo! Sorry to hear about your situation with storage!

I just recieved the latest Knife Magazine today, when I was thumbing through it and the first thing that caught my eye was this article. I suspect Jack is already aware of it, but I couldn't help but post it here, it made my day that had not been good at all.

The cover

The photo that caught my eye

The obligatory name drop

Way to go Jack!
Not sure which fine member this young man belongs to, but well done!!

The legend continues!

 

[Campbellclanman]

definitely!- way to go Jack! Amazing how our Jack has so much time to give- when I can bet on it- he cant afford the spare time he so generously gives out to visiting Folk like Christopher, myself and Sue....... and so on and so on etc

 

[Jack Black]

Hi Guardians!

Looks like I'm an official member now.
Thank you, Jack!
I received my Real Lamb Foot in the mail yesterday. It's a beauty. It looks brand new! I am carrying it today after giving it a sharpening last night. I think I'm gonna like it

Jack, refresh my memory... I can't recall if this is ebony or rosewood?
I really like the handle and snap; it has nice action, and centering is excellent! Thanks again, my friend
I enjoyed seeing the other items as well. Can you enlighten me about the pin?

I'm really sorry Don, I somehow managed to miss your post until now!

Welcome to the Guardians! I'm glad you finally got your giveaway prize Your knife is one of a short SFO run I had made at the beginning of the year, with covers of bagpipe ebony. The ebony wasn't as black as I was promised unfortunately. The symbol on the pin is the White Rose of Yorkshire. I'm glad you like the knife Don, and hope you enjoy using the pattern

What a dandy! Congratulations! Jack is an incredibly fine gentleman!

...

The apple of your eye? Love your AC, Jack!

Thank you for the kind words Dennis

Grand shot, Jack! Two great "hobbies "!

Thanks mate!

Another nice photo! Sorry to hear about your situation with storage!

Thanks again Dennis, I have three bedrooms, but knives take up most of the spare space!

Thanks Jack for your very kind comments related to my post about my dad and his service during WWll. Greatest generation indeed.

 

[JohnDF]

I sure got a lot of beer yesterday, there must be 200 bottles!

That would last me 20 years.

I'm way out of touch with comics I'm afraid

Me too... But I enjoy the odd one now and again.

glad I didn't post the video!

Me too, my friend.

Things are looking Rosie for you, John!

Thank you, Dennis.
Things are Rosie around here.

Haven't bought a comic book in 30 years

My sons and I like to visit the local comic book store and I like digging through the .50 cent bin. I'm cheap.

The photo that caught my eye

Not sure what caught my eye first... The math or the Lambsfoot.

 

[JohnDF]

Good Morning Guardians
Suffering a long stretch of 100+ degree temperatures.
But it sure is nice to wake up early to enjoy the cool breeze.

Thanks Ron they are both smooth and silky

Here's a few pictures from our trip up to Hollister Mo.

Lake Taneycomo as you cross the bridge between Hollister and Branson.

Old downtown Hollister.

And Lambfoot content with a lil sumpin for a hot afternoon.

Thanks for the photos Rob! I keep going back to the old Lambsfoot again and again! It's just a fabulous old knife my friend!

Good morning Guardians! I'm carrying my William Rodgers this morning. Y'all have a safe day!

 

[Onebigbill]

Good morning all. Rainy morning so I decided to tend to my knives including my HHB instead of doing out door stuff. A little oil and wipe down and everything is as it should be. Guess the next thing will be to sharpen the kitchen knives... mundane drudgery
