Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[waynorth]

Thanks Jack and Harvey!!
Further news; it looks like the Lambfoot will be out near the end of May - first of June!!
I will announce it to the dealers soon!!

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!!

I used Buffalo as my home base, to recognize my birthplace, and to give tribute to the fact that the knife is truly American!View attachment 1105500 View attachment 1105504 View attachment 1105511

That's way more than just "good news'.
A very big congratulations to you, Charlie.

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".

Celebratory lambsfoot photo!

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.

Where this bloke used to hang out

Pic of my Damascus Lambsfoot in situ

Very neat picture of the castle, Jack. And that stag handled Damascus model is beautiful!!!

Thanks for all the other great pictures from everyone else as well!!!

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.

Wow! I knew something was in the works on this from bits and pieces of info that I picked up here and there!!! Charlie congratulations on your tang stamp and a beautiful knife to debut it with. I can hardly wait to see them!

 

[cigarrodog]

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

 

[Dschal]

My first, which I will always love.
