How're you finding it Mike?

Wow Mike! I didn't realise your flock had grown so much Really nice photo mate

Thanks Jack. Was a bit hesitant in placing the order due to other's recent experiences, but am pleasantly surprised with this one.

Overall F&F is acceptable and it came pretty sharp. The backspring is a hair low when closed at the curve below the pivot, but flush when open. Action is pretty decent with a firm but smooth pull. It took around 8-9 weeks before the shipping notice, so maybe they took a little extra time to make sure it was okay

Yeah, I can understand that, I wouldn't order from them again I'm glad that you got a hit rather than a miss though my friend

Great to have you back Jer

It's yours buddy!

Had a nice walk with my mate, and his two young kids, with a pub lunch, and a couple of pints after

We saw a couple of herds of deer, which pleased the kids

My mate's lad, Cillian, did well to spot this wee frog, but I don't have CelloDan 's Doctor Doolittle powers - nor his photographic skills for that matter!

Hope everyone else has had a good day

My small Hartkopf that usually rides in my coinpocket with the new Lambsfoot. I did a sanding/polishing of the scales since it took to water

Well, the Yorkshire Day GAW box has arrived, and I am delighted. My one concern is that I don't know if we can trust Jack Black anymore - the knife he posted in the GAW post is quite attractive, but it's actually much better looking in person - this is a beautiful knife! It makes me wonder if all of his other knife pictures are even better-looking in person.

This is going to get a lot of carry:

The box also contained a bunch of fun Yorkshire goodies. Maybe the coolest to share on this thread is this Guardians of the Lambsfoot pin:

And here's today's carry, as my wife and I enjoy an excellent pot of Yorkshire Tea, with our younger dog Whiskey watching in the background. (My wife's not a knife person, but she thinks the rest of the stuff in the box is fun - she asked me to thank you, too, Jack.):

Thanks so much for your generosity!

LOL! You make that Lambsfoot look GOOD Tyson! I'm glad my package made it across The Pond safe and sound, and I hope that you and your wife have fun with your Yorkshire goodies Welcome to the Guardians

They look fantastic, you have done a great job. Did you apply an oil finish, looks like Tru-Oil.

BLTs for dinner tonight. The Lambsfoot sliced right through those tomatoes.

Nice patina forming on your Lambsfoot blade Todd, I hope you enjoyed your BLT

Good morning Guardians, got some work to do in the garden today, no doubt some more blackberries to pick - I better learn to make jam or something, before I start looking like a crumble! Have a good day Guardians

those tomatoes.

That'll help your patina along.

You can send some crumble my way !!!

 

[Jack Black]

You can send some crumble my way !!!

I'd love to mate!

I was supposed to be making a crumble to take to the market tomorrow, but I've just realised I've run out of plain flour. Hoping I get time to get to the shops later

I've had a pretty hard (and hot) day in the garden, I'm covered in nettle stings and bramble scars, but the day has flown! I came in at lunchtime to get a sausage sandwich, and the postie turned up with a package for me

Fixall had very thoughtfully sent me three vintage Lambsfoot knives

The knives carry the makers marks of (from L to R) H.M. Slater (Venture), William Rodgers, and Herbert Robinson. Construction is a little different in each case.

Here's a closer look at them:

H.M. Slater, with Bexoid covers.

William Rodgers, with Horn covers.

Herbert Robinson, with Jigged Bone covers, worn smooth with use.

I think maybe we knife users of today could (like r8shell ) learn a lot from some of those old knife owners, who bought the best knife they could afford, or perhaps received it as a gift or hand-me-down, and expected to use it for the rest of their days. I've seen plenty of Lambsfoot knives with considerably less blade than the Herbert Robinson, but those much-loved knives were clearly still in use Hoping to get some better pics of these vintage Sheffield Lambs soon. Thanks a lot for your kindness Fixall
