So, I have been trying to get GEC to make a Real Lamb Foot knife for several years!!
It would be a production run of a pattern that has been largely ignored in the North American market since the Lambfoot was developed or invented in England.
I am proud to tell you, that the knife is in the works!!
The various stamps have arrived, and just to add to the firsts, it will be my first knife with my Brand on it! Waynorth Cutlery!!!
The knife is based on a Joseph Rodgers (JR) design I particularly admire. It won't be a direct copy, but will use some of the best features the JR has to offer, along with GEC's great design skills, materials and workmanship!!
Here are the Joseph Rodgers Lambfoot knives; the jigged bone being my favorite, but the wood (I think Cocabola ) my second.

Here is a drawing of our American Lambfoot, and a revised sketch which shows a change in the kick. I was trying to get a "full" stovepipe*, but production realities altered it a bit!
The knife, on a new GEC pattern #93, is a hefty 3 7/8" long!!

Congrats on a Waynorth Cutlery stamped knife!!! I have always wondered...
Great size! That will be a "must have". Or more appropriately a "try to get".

I was caught up with reading this thread early Friday morning, and now I'm caught up again for the moment.
I feel like Sisyphus!!
Maybe tomorrow I'll actually respond to some posts (or maybe I'm regressing to my pre-membership days when I simply lurked).

This week, the lambsfoot I've carried has been my Lam Jack, the 2017 horn Guardians lambsfoot (thanks, @mrknife):

@waynorth - Wonderful wonderful news Charlie. Congratulations on many levels. I am excited to hear about this project becoming reality and so soon! The closed length will make it extra special and with it being the proto Waynorth Cutlery how much better could it get? Waiting with great anticipation!

GT, I missed that day at school so I had to look up "Sisyphus"

Sisyphus was a cruel Greek king who was punished to push a large rock up on a steep hill, only to find it rolling back on nearing the top. Ever since, he has been known for pushing the rock tirelessly till eternity.

It's Knaresborough in North Yorkshire Dave, and I've written about it many times in the distant past The photo is taken from Knaresborough Castle...

Wonderful news, waynorth!!!!!!
And you couldn't have picked a finer knife to use as a model than that Rodgers.
Also great to know that it will carry your own personal brand.

Congrats Charlie that knife looks amazing. Hopefully I can land one!

Congrats Jack on 901 pages! Jeez this thread is really just going crazy!

Is it wrong to already be sad that I wasn’t able to get one?

Dschal · Apr 6, 2019

My first, which I will always love.
