The covers are stag, I will search the forums and attempt a fix when I have a little time.

I wondered if they were horn, which can dry out, but that doesn't happen with stag. It shouldn't be hard to fix the blade-play (all you'll need is a vice and a hammer), though of course that shouldn't be necessary with a new knife. For all the faults with contemporary Sheffield knives, blade-play isn't usually among them.
 
Hope they all managed to upload.

Can't wait for lock down to be lifted so I can get out and use it.

Are there any other manufacturers I should be looking into for a better QC?

I'm quite interested to see if there are any German brands.

That's a poor job isn't it Harley? I hope you didn't spend much on it :( What are you going to do with it? We have some pretty good modders here, if you want to go down that road. I think @jsdistin did a fantastic job of the knife I'm carrying today for example, and the other knives my friend @Reaper AL sent him. Here are the three Al gifted to me :) :thumbsup:

BTW You can put up to 20 photos in each post :thumbsup:

All good :) :thumbsup:

I'm disappointed to say that all the contemporary manufacturers produce knives which are hit and miss, and I'm not aware of any current German manufacturer producing a genuine Lambsfoot :( Whereabouts are you based Harley?
 
Yeah its pretty poor, it has so much potential.

I wanted one to keep about my person as a gentlemanly accessory

I like to spend quite a lot of time in the outdoors so I always like to carry a knife of some sort. Mostly my SAK.

I'm in Hampshire on the south coast. Would love to have it modded but I think maybe I'll explore and see if I can pick up a better older example aswell.

I've been collecting knives since I was about 8 so roughly 26 years, I've got a lot of collecting left

There's something about traditional slipjoints that are quite magical. I think it's because the echo from a time where things were respected and appreciated for their value, rather than abused as throw away items

Thanks for introducing yourself Harley :) What I'd recommend, when it's possible to do so, is have a look round some antique shops, or flea-markets, if you know of any, and try to pick up a vintage Lambsfoot. That will almost certainly be better quality than the knives being made in Sheffield today :thumbsup: If you've not already done so, please read the first post in this thread, as it contains some information that will be useful to you :thumbsup:

These are fantastic!!!
 
I hope I am posting this I the right place. I have a question regarding tang stamps on Lamb Foot knifes. I am new to knives so please forgive my ignorance. I bought a new lamb foot knife from a dealer in Sheffield off eBay. The knife is supposed to be made by A. Wright and Son in Sheffield. The tang stamp only has “Made in Sheffield”, “A. Wright & Son” is missing. Is it possible that this is an “A. Wright & Son” knife even though the tang stamp does not include that Mark?D2B83C84-11E7-40D9-A165-22C64E8FFB7E.jpeg

That IS an A. Wright & Son knife. Some of their dealers don't want their name on their knives (perhaps worried they will steal their designs or something), so they request that stamp instead :thumbsup:

Brought home some fantastic homemade empanadas from a small local Argentinian restaurant.
You can watch them roll out the dough, press them, and cook them on the spot.

Sounds delicious my friend, and looks it too. I hope you all enjoyed them :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, woke up to snow here, and it's still falling. Wonder if my beer run will get through :rolleyes: I grabbed a knife to take a blade comparison pic the other day, and by chance, I picked up my original (post BFO) sample for the 2019 Guardians SFO. Thought I'd put it in my pocket today :) Have a good day everyone :thumbsup:
