Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Kurt, beautiful K'roo you have there! And Charlie, how dare you leave that gem tucked away in a box? It deserves the sunshine! Beni had a lot of bid'ness today at work, and did me proud.

It's an old butcher's saw Barrett, I picked it up for Tool Man, but he turned his nose up at it :rolleyes:

That’s interesting. :thumbsup:

Glad it arrived Barrett. Brass is not always popular, but goes well with that maple.👍🏻

Yeah, I thought the brass looked good with the wood. :thumbsup:

Very nice but seems an odd placement for the nail nick.

Thanks, Steve. The nail nick placement is definitely unusual. It gives the blade an interesting look, but functionally it’s less than ideal. Thankfully the blade is pinchable.

Rooting around in boxes, I came across this one!! It needed to get out and be CF'ed and CE'ed!! So I took new pics!! This knife has Tasmanian Blackwood on it!! It's related to Gidgee and they are both versions of Acacia!!!View attachment 2881873View attachment 2881874

That’s a real looker, Charlie. Tons of character! 😎 When I got this Springbok (direct from Eric), the box it came in was mistakenly labeled “Tasmanian Blackwood.” I probably wouldn’t have been too upset if it had actually contained the Tasmanian Blackwood, but I was still relieved to open it and find the Springbok inside. 😁

Moshi-moshi Guardians,

My A/C was broken for days while I was led on by a criminally unscrupulous repair company. If you live somewhere with temperatures that sane and civilized people would balk at, make sure to have a reliable, responsive, and highly skilled person, or persons, at the ready. You just never know.

It got up to 94°F today with very high humidity. Serious business. Too hot for anything more than lackadaisical grumbling while sitting three inches away from an industrial box fan. As a bonus, the intense wind helped to keep all but the burliest and most committed mosquitoes at bay.

Eventually, I got in contact with a friend of my friend's family, Miguelito ("Little Miguel" - you could probably figure that out on your own. He has "Mike" embroidered on his work shirt. Nice touch.), who remediated the hamfisted bungling of the previous jerks, found the real problem (it had something to do with that copper-looking thing in the picture...), and had some interesting theories that involve the Italian mob supporting Fidel Castro's rise to power because they wanted to eliminate Havana as competition for their casinos in Las Vegas. I guess it makes some kind of sense - I'd rather go to a tropical paradise than a skeevy hole in the middle of the desert. Maybe just me.

Tilly "supervised" the repair and listened politely to the conspiracy theories about the criminal underworld's role in geopolitics but stopped short of getting her hooves dirty.

Dangit, I just lost a long post about changing dentists.
My old dentist is the best, but I can't afford her. The new one will be fine, and participates with my insurance, which should pay for more than the half of some things that they pay at the old one.
I wish I had my old dentist Jer, I'd have more money, and more importantly more teeth 😱
These surely allow for a firm grip.View attachment 2881373
🙂👍
Off to work soon with Beni

That is interesting and useful feedback; thank you. I placed it there not to take away from the swedge placement, and I felt that the pull was set nicely so that it could still be opened with the thumbnail.
On previous lambs, the nick has been towards the tip, so with this feedback, I shall return the nick back towards the tip.

Appreciate your insight guys :)

Glad you are back to the chill zone with your sweet lamb., Will.
 
A Lamb for each hand! 😁



Good to see you (and your GL-24) here. :thumbsup:



What’s the tool behind your HHB there?



That’s a beautiful Lambsfoot! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I had a new Lambsfoot arrive in the mail today. This knife was my prize from Rufus1949 Rufus1949 Bob’s giveaway back around Valentine’s Day (I believe the game was guess-the-candy-hearts). The knife was made by Matt Selfe Made Knives Selfe Made Knives with an RWL-34 steel blade, brass bolsters and liners and Oregon Maple Burl handles. Thanks again, Bob and Matt! :thumbsup:

Very beautiful LF knife!
 
Good morning Guardians. Bright sunny day to start off today. Yesterday was not a good one for me - had a molar extracted and without going into the gruesome details let me just say it was a grueling procedure for me. On the mend now. Going to have my nice little Senator in my pocket today. Some soft food for my meals today.
