I believe I mentioned that perhaps you should use a lambs foot to nip at that one, you know, thinking to myself, to preserve your teeth lol.

I have been carrying Big'un (also a gift from MrKnife!) around for a few weeks now, and thought I would take a pic or two that displays the size of this knife. It is a whisker over 4", the longest knife I have carried in years. The small sheepfoot I have compared it with, a Horn-handled Ford and Medley (a gift from Knowtracks!), seems downright toy-like by comparison, at 3 1/4".
Despite Big'un's size, I find it quite comfortable! It stays nicely in my watch pocket.
I used to carry a WLST #25 in that pocket, but was often afraid it would pop out, but this Lambsfoot stays right in place.

As will come as no surprise, I was carrying my buffalo A. Wright lambsfoot today. At lunch time, it helped harvest some kale from our garden:
My lambsfoot's food duties are normally limited to slicing limes and the occasional jalapeno, but today I thought "why should Jack Black and @Half/Stop haveto carry the burden of demonstrating the lambsfoot's culinary chops aloneall the fun? My lambsfoot fetched the greens, why not let it help prepare them, too?"
You may have noticed there wasn't much kale there. That's because it was garnish to go along with some left over grilled flank steak. The pointy tip and sharp edge made quick work of stripping the kale off the stem and shredding it and then cubing the steak:
After the slicing tasks were complete, my lambsfoot got a quick wash and was returned to my pocket where it kept me company while I made a couple of blue corn tortillas, pan fried them to get them nice and cripsy, and heated up some left over black beans. A quick sear on the steak pieces, and it was time to assemble and eat:
For larger prep tasks, I still prefer a kitchen knife with some belly, but it sure is fun to let the lambsfoot loose in the kitchen every once in a while.
Jack, I admire this one every time you post it...not just for the stag, but also for the straight frame that makes it a little unique in this thread. How common is that straight frame, in stag or otherwise?
The case of the disappearing knife!!!!
How’s it taste? Metallic aftertaste?

they can definitely be had, i myself prefer the straight frame over the sway back every time.
Fellow Guardians, I'm very happy to report that the Guardians of the Lambsfoot Index has caught up with current time and now includes pages 1 through 192. Going forward, I hope to update it on an approximately weekly basis to include new pages that have been posted in the meantime.
I'm extremely grateful to (listed in reverse alphabetical order here and in alphabetical order in the index) @strokednbored, @Jolipapa, Jack Black , @Cambertree, and @5K Qs for their contributions to this effort. These gentlemen donated hours of their time to the task of pouring through the pages of this thread and slotting posts into the appropriate sections of the index. They did everything I asked of them, and more, and the index wouldn't exist without their hard effort and generosity with their time. Thank you guys!
I have a few ideas for improvements to the index that I hope to make over the coming months. I'm also very open to suggestions for how to make it better. If you have ideas, please let me know.

Is that based on aesthetics, ergonomics, or a combination of both?
