Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Another lambsfoot holiday photo. I apologize for the quality of my photos. Most of our holiday decorations are inside, and we don't have very good light indoors, so these are typically taken with the flash on an old Canon pointnshoot.
We have quite a few Hallmark Star Trek ornaments:

Last night my wife and I enjoyed a holiday concert performed by the brass and percussion sections of the San Francisco Symphony. My fanciest, most festive Lambsfoot came along.

I love to see personalised Xmas tree ornaments like that GT :) Keep the pics coming my friend :) :thumbsup:

Sounds like a great night Greg :) :thumbsup:

I'm heading over to see @ADEE this morning, and have a poke round his local flea-market, where I found this old Lambsfoot by Alfred Blackwell :)

I love seeing your old beauties, Jack. I know you have probably mentioned it before, but is that some sort of synthetic material as covers on that TEW?

More of a Lamb Ankle at this point. Still a pretty nice spear blade!

Thanks Greg :) Yes, the Sheffield cutlers still make their economy Lambsfoot knives like that, though the synthetic material is sometimes not as nice as in the past. Here's a current TEW :thumbsup:

One of my oldest Lambsfoot knives, seen decades of use, and appeared to have been run over when I got it. Still plenty of Lambie goodness in my opinion, blades sharpen up like razors, and there's not a smidgen of play in either of them :thumbsup:

Smashing! :thumbsup:

Thanks Michael :) :thumbsup:

Once again this went with me today. I have to give Jack Black Jack Black credit - before he posted these knives I was not very interested in this pattern. But after seeing a few of them, curiosity led me to get this one. It has become one of my favorite patterns.

Thank you my friend, I'm really glad that you've taken to the pattern :) :thumbsup:

I've been reading through this thread (from the beginning) for quite a while and finally got caught up on it... luckily its just a lot of guys posting pics of beautiful knifes ;). I just going to have to see what all the fuss is about :)

Hope you'll give one a try :) :thumbsup:

None the worse for it, then. A point well taken!

Well...Here's what the pile side looked like when I picked it up! :eek: :D Actually, I think that's after a basic clean-up! I filled in the gaps with epoxy :thumbsup:

It looked like it had been run over, with the blade pushed into the liner, but after I straightened everything out, there's no play at all :)

It's a knife I enjoy carrying, with an interesting history :thumbsup:
 
Found this on my doorstep after coming home on this dreary, rainy day

This is my first Lambsfoot, so generously gifted to my by WhittlinAway.
This is also my first knife with wood covers, and I'm already enjoying this immensely.

While quite different, this has some of the same attributes that kept a Sodbuster in my pocket for so many years, yet with a much more useful tip. I have little use for belly on a knife and this one seems extremely versatile. Yes, I think I'm going to like this one a lot.
Greg, thank you so much my friend. The generosity on this forum never ceases to humble and amaze me :thumbsup:

What a lovely to come home to :) Well done Greg, and welcome to the Guardians Solphilos :thumbsup:

How did the repair turn out? I have an old scout knife that was damaged (sent back with my uncle's effects), that I have been thinking of doing an epoxy repair on, along the same lines (can't decide if I want to keep it as it was when he had it, or to do the repair).

I should have read further, was probably dazzled by the nice figure on that wood! A generous fellow that WhittlinAway! You will enjoy that one for years to come, they really are made for using.
