Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

deleted

Tom, the convention with most cutlers, way back, was to portray the main pivot to the right with the main blade opening upward, and to stamp the blade and/or tang on the visible side; hence the marked or "mark" side. The shield if any was usually placed on this marked side also.
It's all part of the refinement of the language so we can understand each other!!

Thanks Tom Well answered Charlie, thank you my friend

I've been riding the rails with these two today

Our transit system has trains, but none of the charm of the bits of Britain's rail system I catch glimpses of, in your pics, Jack. I am envious!

Well it showed up yesterday and the wife forgot to tell me a package came until today. All I can say is thanks Jack Black for pointing me to this knife and their website. I opened the envelope and pulled a dark rosewood lambs foot knife.
First one I've owned and wow was my first impression centering is spot on wood grain has a lot of character and the this is razor sharp also a had written ty from the company. Agian thank you can't wait to use it daily.

I have a rosewood and an ebony on the way from A Wright!

Glad you like your Lambsfoot Wait until you put it to use I think you'll like the pattern even more I have met the author of the note, a young lad who works at the shop

Great stuff Tomsch, hope you'll let us see them when they arrive

I'm carrying MY ebony Lambsfoot today

While I prefer a Swayback frame with my Lambsfoot, I must admit to liking this straight frame - if only for the stag!

Went to work with me today

Yeah I'm a union contractor in the Mills in northwest Indiana. I repair the mills as they fall apart.

Jack I also prefer the Swayback, but the Stag on your knife is stellar! In my limited experience with A. Wright and Son Cutlery I believe it may just be the finest example I have seen on any of their models!

Thanks a lot Ron, it was certainly a lucky find, and like @smiling-knife's superb older example (below), I think, shows what Wright's can do when they're able to get hold of some quality stag



I have mine in my pocket today

Those of you who might frequent the Lounge might have gotten a taste of what I am getting ready to post. Regardless, this is all about the Lambsfoot. I went on a hunting trip this last weekend and I took Rosie with me, it is technically the first time that I have taken her out into the wilderness with me as I usually leave my folders at home, the Victorinox Huntsman being the exception of course.

I wanted to see how capable the Lambsfoot could be in a more rugged setting and I have to say, Rosie was exceptional. Though my hunt for animals was a bust, despite my buddies downing a few grouse, my hunt for wild mushrooms was hugely successful and I brought home quite a haul of Chanterelles, Lobsters, and Chicken of the Woods.

The Lambsfoot knife proved to be especially adept at cleaning and trimming mushrooms, processing the grouse, preparing other foods, and just simply being a terrific cutting companion. Aside from occasionally using a small fixed blade, I actually didn't use many of the other knives I had brought with me other than giving them a good sharpening during some down time.

I apologize that I did not get more "working" pictures but it can be awfully difficult to do camera work whilst having so much fun doing other activities.

This is almost a picture perfect specimen, just a gorgeous Chanterelle.



Perched atop of a mound of freshly picked Chanterelles.



Somewhat cleaned and trimmed. Rosie made the work easy.



A large Lobster, one of my very favorites.



Some very picturesque Chicken of the Woods, Rosie helped out yet again.





Our final meal before packing up and heading home consisted of fresh wild Grouse, paired with potatoes, zucchini and onions, diced chanterelles fried in butter, some homemade black pudding and followed up with some homemade bangers (which I did not get a picture of). I cannot tell you how amazing that meal was and my picture certainly does not do it any justice...



All in all, a fine trip, I will certainly be including a Lambsfoot in my outdoor kit from now on, I would be a fool not to.
