Sounds like a good day, Jack; fine shot of your Guardians Lambsfoot! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: I had the same reaction as Peregrin when I read what you saw. One of the most lasting impressions of my first trip to Europe (to Spain to visit my daughter 3 years ago) was how old "civilization" in Europe is, compared to "civilization" in North America! :eek::cool::cool:

Wife, daughter, and I picked out and cut down a Christmas tree at a tree farm yesterday. Got home and put it up, started dragging out some holiday decorations, and listened to some seasonal music, including "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night". That song inspired this photo of the lambsfoot knives I've had near at hand this week.

Thanks GT, all the things I mentioned there were within a 5 minute walk of each other! :D Most folk probably don't value the history here enough, hard to believe they were planning to demolish that Manor House isn't it?! :eek:o_O

That is a fantastic photo my friend, hope you're going to post it in the Lambsfoot thread :) The schooboy version of that song here went 'While shepherds washed their socks by night...' When I was a young lad, the headmaster would lead us in a chorus 'to get it out of our systems'! :D :thumbsup:

Thanks Gev, I must have got lucky. There's a far more impressive old hall up on the hillside above. Here's a filched image as it was partly obscured by trees from below yesterday :thumbsup:

That is a neat looking sodbuster. How do you like it?

It has been 2 days, but I like it a lot so far. D2 is a good steel for edge retention, it has great ergonomics (for me) and it has a solid backspring. Nothing really to complain about other than it was a little gritty on closing initially, but that was easily resolved.

Thanks a lot GT, it was a cold, bright day here, had a nice walk, with lots of history along the way (including Anglo Saxon crosses, Roman altars, the remains of a Roman fort, a 17th century Manor House, and a medieval church) :) Carrying my Guardians Lambsfoot today (again ;) ), shown here next to the beautiful 17th century packhorse bridge over the River Wharfe at Ilkley. Have a relaxing Sunday folks :thumbsup:

I am carrying T.R. with me today (and mistakenly posted him on the Let's See Some Stag thread). All's well now (though Peregrin Peregrin kindly "liked" my post before I moved it). A 1975 Schrade Teddy Roosevelt commemorative stockman in white saw-cut Delrin (serial no. 10248).

Oops! I could have moved it had I noticed. Nice knife though!
 
@5K Qs Thanks for the comment on this Primble. It's an India steel works Primble which in my opinion were the best of the Primbles. Action like a custom and takes a ridiculously sharp edge. Needless to say but it's my favorite of my small barlow collection.

Thanks Gary! The AW’s appear to have found some friends! :thumbsup: Looking good my friend!:D
 
Was rooting about in my stored knives section today to check if all is well. You never know with rust, it can't be trusted... All was mostly OK and I found this German made Russel Barlow which I'd actually forgotten about:eek: Carbon blades and liners, steel bolster nicely stamped. It has epic snap:cool: yet reasonable pull, tight without gaps. Wish I'd got more of these before they vanished as they're really decently made. It will be my carry on your tomorrow which is my today:D

I have had these two with me the last couple of days. Didn't put them to work on anything but took them to the local gun show on Sat. Just around the house here on Sunday but a great time for a quick picture or two. The Northwoods I got recently off the exchange from one of our great forum members. I carried it in a slip and the 23 just riding free in the pocket.
