I love this knife
(which unfortunately I don't have...)

 

[Jack Black]

Since much of it has been re-built in rather ugly fashion, I was surprised to come across this contemporary virtual tour of the Hartshead area of Sheffield.

The Barlow family lived and worked at premises next to the Old Banker's House, which was lost when the street (Campo Lane) was widened.

Despite the ugliness of the modern buildings, which is rather typical of Sheffield city centre I'm afraid, parts of the area still retain some of their old character. It's a shame the film-maker didn't take us into St Peter's Close, which passed between the Old Banker's House and the place where the world's first Barlow knives were made. Here's a look

Have a good day

Looks like that one is seeing some good use my friend

I have finally read from first post to my first post.

I'm impressed.

It is less useful than it could be (this is the recurrent problem of owners of too many knives) but it is practical for certain uses and trips

It's definitely worthy of a Mention in Dispatches, at least, I think

Aw, I know what you mean my friend, I feel bad when I think of all the wonderful knives that don't see the use they deserve

You must have had that one a few years now Jer

Must be. Time has become unreliable for me. I'd keep a detailed journal, except I'd forget that too.

Hey, what's that under the knives?

I know what you mean buddy! I've just had a nice sausage sandwich, but I neglected to take a photo

Great post Jack, a very enjoyable 10 min break from a crazy day!

Received this one today, unwrapped and took pictures. It's a good one

Rosewood Lambsfoot Pen/Pocket Knife. The knife was commissioned by the famous Gary Wines who served in the 21 Specialist Air Service Regiment at Duke of York’s Chelsea HQ Squadron, as an armourer. Gary is a member of both the UK SAS Association along with the Australian SAS Association. This Lambsfoot Knife is a Special Edition of the standard Rosewood Lambsfoot. It bears Mr. Wines’ Makers Mark. This knife was hand crafted & hand finished in Sheffield, England. The lambs foot blade is manufactured out of Carbon 01 Tool Steel. Brass linings. Rosewood scales. Blade measures 75mm. Stamped G.WINES SHEFFIELD ENGLAND. Closed length measures 90mm. Weighs 90 grammes.

Very interesting Jack. It must be very enjoyable to roam among the ghosts.

... and cleaned up and oiled. Nice smooth Sheffield pull, but not a nail breaker by any means, and good wood on this standard Rosewood Lambsfoot. MUCH happier with this knife than my "fancy" AWS. Could be luck of the draw but I think Gary Wines' involvement may have influenced the production process. This one is definitely a keeper and will make a fine user ... there are no flaws in the wood. Any apparent artifacts are only filtered afternoon sunlight and my poor point 'n shoot ... shoot

EDIT: Edge bevels are quite nice on the blade. Came pleasantly sharp and the 01 steel should be easily touched up. Nothing to complain about that I can find on this lambsfoot.

Thanks Dwight, Sheffield has a very interesting history, but the city council don't value it much unfortunately I haven't visited for well over a year now, but I may be going over to help a pal pick up an old Romesse stove, if he wins the bid

Good morning Guardians, with all the highly unusual thread activity at the moment, as some posters try to inflate their post count, in the hope of qualifying for a 2021 forum knife, we ended up halfway down page 2! I can't remember the last time that happened Despite all the excitement, I've had a fairly lazy and uneventful week, and now the weekend is almost upon us I thought I'd dig out an Old Friend, in the form of the first Guardians Lambsfoot SFO from 2017 (I gave the 'snake in a box' to my pal's youngest 2-3 years ago, and it's still his most treasure possession ) Have a good Friday Guardians, and enjoy your weekend
