Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

A few photos to show the newest member to my A. Wright and Son collection. This is a Large Real Lamb Foot Model in Rosewood. I ordered this knife from an online auction site. I did order it from a dealer located in the UK. I won't mention the name here for obvious reasons. The Rosewood is quite nice. I will say that the fit and finish on this one is not as nice as my Ebony that I received from Jack's GAW. The main difference being in the back spring area with some gaps and unevenness. This knife is however still a very functional and very sturdy work knife for the price invested. Which by the way, I believe is the original intent of this pattern. I also have a comparison shot with my regular sized Ebony.

Count me in as the newest member of the Guardians! Mr. Black, generous as always, included this A. Wright lambsfoot in a care package he sent (a full post on the care package is forthcoming).

This is a great knife. Fills the hand nicely, took a razor edge with little fuss, and the action's nice and smooth once I got all the normal new knife gunk flushed out of the joint and oiled up. :thumbup:

Very nice Ron, looks like a solid user my friend. I think Wright's only put the 'Real Lamb Foot' etch on the satin-finished blades :thumbsup:

Thank you Jack!:) A solid user indeed.:thumbup: I was wandering about the etch. I didn't know what designated to which knives the etch was applied.:confused:

Thank you Ron, it's always a treat to be able to return a little of the great generosity I've received on this fine forum...and to be able to introduce someone to the Lambsfoot of course! ;) :D :thumbsup:

I actually saw the old etching machine when I visited the works. As you'll have seen the etch is shallow, and almost certainly put on before the knives are put together, so the mirror-polished blades MAY have HAD an etch, if you see what I mean ;) :thumbsup:

Got the delivery notice in the mailbox. Buffalo horn version has arrived! Just have to wait for the driver to finish his route, so I can head down, sign for it, and bring it home.
 
Great stuff Mike, I went past the Arthur Wright works in Sheffield today :) Looking forward to seeing your knife :thumbsup:

Very happy with this one! And now for a family shot, but the Ettrick needs to stay closed in this thread :)

Dear Guardians,

I wish there was a Washington Jack with a lambsfoot. Just for fun, what are your thoughts? ... is the 77 frame suited for a lambsfoot blade?

Thank you,

Feels pretty good! I only have one other knife in buffalo horn - A Queen Small Sleeveboard. This horn feels much smoother. Almost feels like plastic if you didn't know any better. Transitions at the bolsters are close and smooth. I was a little worried from some pictures. Some rough edges along the spine on the liners, but overall, Jordan sent me a good one. Nice and snappy, and fairly sharp. Some oil to flush the pivot and some time with the strop, and into the pocket it went. :)

Not sure about the 77 frame, but maybe on the 47 frame :)
