Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[rockman0]

A very nice example Rob! Congratulations!

Thanks Ron! I'll enjoy it very much

 

[5K Qs]

I have a tradition of naming my lambsfoot knives, and I'm here to announce what (and why) I've named my Ashley's Choice stag lambsfoot.

The pile side shows off some popcorn stag, while the mark side has a smoother texture and richly-colored caramel tint.



Furthermore, this AC Lambsfoot is my smallest lambsfoot. I measure it to be 3 3/8" closed, which is a half inch longer than a Case Peanut, but I still think of this ACL as my lambsfoot "peanut" in terms of relative size.

So, caramel popcorn and peanuts ... My choice is quite obvious!
I present my Cracker Jack!


Etymologically speaking, this is also a fitting name, since the name of the snack apparently came from an early taste tester who declared the treat to be "crackerjack", a word whose meaning is presented by Merriam-Webster:
crackerjack
noun

crack·er·jack | \ ˈkra-kər-ˌjak \
variants: or less commonly crackajack \ˈkra-kə-ˌjak \
Definition of Crackerjack
(Entry 1 of 2)

: a person or thing of marked excellence

And let me tell you, Guardians, this knife is definitely of marked excellence!

So here are the names of the lambsfoots in my flock today:
2018 ebony Guardians lambsfoot: Black Jack
Ashley's Choice stag lambsfoot: Cracker Jack
2017 buffalo horn Guardians lambsfoot: Lam Jack
Taylor-Schrade 19OT: Lamb Shark
Stag Senator: Man Jack
Rosewood lambsfoot my family bought for me in York hardware store: Union Jack

He carried a pocket knife, of course, Barrett Maybe it is even in one of the local museums? An old friend of my dad's rode a Brough Superior into his nineties

He's a tough one, that lad, can't ride his bike at the moment though unfortunately

I'm not going to count my chickens on the next Guardians knife, we'll see how it goes! Ashley is young and enthusiast, and talented He also likes motorbikes

Here's a thread from a few years ago about Lawrence's knife.

That’s a beautiful Ashley’s Choice Barrett! I love the warm caramel colors! A great choice!

Today I’m carrying my 2018 Guardians Ebony. Every time I handle this knife I am amazed at the beauty of the Ebony and the overall craftsmanship!

Thanks, Ron! I definitely think I got a good one. I love the warm colors.

Your Ebony Guardian's Lambsfoot is looking good!

Gary if you’re not careful someone is going to accuse you of being all Jacked Up!

Thanks Ron! I'll enjoy it very much

Thanks for the compliment on my 2018 Ebony! You definitely got a good one!

This wee Sambar is not Ashley’s, but I think it’s still Choice!

Mine's due today again. I missed the doorbell and they need a signature.

 

[screened porch]

OOPS. TEL's knife wasn't a lambsfoot.

 

[JTB_5]

Micarta today. Have a good one Guardians!

Beautiful pics too Dave I hope we get a few days like that too. So far, we have gone from a glorious summer straight into some wet, windy, and fairly cold weather Incidentally, do you say 'Autumn' in Canada, as we do here in England? I have always thought that 'Fall' was a lovely use of English, and wish it was still used here, as it was originally. I believe that both Autumn and Fall crossed the Atlantic, but Fall appears to have quickly found favour

My AC wee stag arrived today and it was well worth the wait Awesome stag ! Fit and finish is excellent too ! I couldn't be happier Thank you Jack for bringing us these great little knives ! Please thank Ashley, he's the man

Glad it made it safe and sound Rob, that's lovely

Beautiful scenery Dave you lucky dawg... 95 degrees here and like breathing under water.

Hope things cool down for you soon my friend

Great to see Betty Kevin

Good link Barrett

It certainly is Ron

OOPS. TEL's knife wasn't a lambsfoot.

What was he thinking??!!!

Still struggling with my internet connection I'm afraid It really is frustrating ( been trying to post for ages)

Found myself carrying these two today

 

[Fodderwing]

Hope things cool down for you soon my friend

Thank you Jack. I do envy you your UK weather. My favorite climate has always been cool and wet. Dark cloudy stormy gloomy overcast... Sheffield or Seattle... That puts me in the minority but I am eccentric to the herd in most ways anyway.
I am super excited about the lambs that are on the way!!!

I bumped into a guy visiting here from Arizona during our uncharacteristically warm summer, and he was saying he was disappointed by the weather, and had been hoping for a fortnight of rain!

I hope they reach you soon my friend

 

[Half/Stop]

It certainly is Ron

Thanks Jack! Your Ebony '18 Guardian is looking very well loved my friend and it appears that Ashley is hitting the rails today!

Thanks my friend, I really am enjoying carrying both of these Might have to lock them away in a closet or something soon, or my other LF knives are going to be jealous!

Beautiful pics too Dave I hope we get a few days like that too. So far, we have gone from a glorious summer straight into some wet, windy, and fairly cold weather Incidentally, do you say 'Autumn' in Canada, as we do here in England? I have always thought that 'Fall' was a lovely use of English, and wish it was still used here, as it was originally. I believe that both Autumn and Fall crossed the Atlantic, but Fall appears to have quickly found favour

Yes, both Fall and Autumn are used here, but I think Autumn is considered the more "formal" term. It was in the mid 90s (Fahrenheit) yesterday; I'm pining for Fall!

Jack we generally use fall, I only used "Autumn" because it sounded more sophisticated.

Really, I never realised that Rachel You get a long summer there in Texas, I can see why you're looking forward to some cooler weather

Fall begins Saturday, but it will feel like summer for several more weeks, I am afraid. According to my weather app, it's 85 degrees F (10:00 am) and "feels like 98". Expected high of 90. (32.22 C).

 

[tmd_87]

Really enjoying this Lambsfoot. Thanks Jack Black for being an ambassador for a great pattern!

Wish I could send you a cool breeze my friend Cold, wet, and windy here I'm hoping we don't just bypass Autumn, and go straight into Winter!
