Hello Guardians, I humbly present a photo in hand of my very first Lambs foot knife
View attachment 834128
through the generosity of his Excellence, Mr. Jack Black, I humbly submit my request to be a member amongst you. I was discussing the possibility of acquiring a lambs foot with Jack, and after mentioning that I might be interested in a big'un, he offered to gift me this fine example. I love it! It fits my hand like it was made for it, and I can hardly wait to put it to use. Today was a happy day

Thanks again Jack, I love this knife
I'm glad it made the journey Duane Welcome to the Guardians my friend
As I told Duane, it was a 'second' I picked up from Wright's some time back. It was a second because of these flaws in the stag.
I think the cutlers must have just set it aside as a 'waster' because Duane told me the edge - which I hadn't checked - had not been sharpened at all! All's well now though, so I hope it'll make a good user
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to thee the Douksfoot

I recently got an A. Wright in rosewood that quickly suffered a broken back spring only minutes out of the mailbox. I was dismayed, but instead of giving up I decided to play Frankenstein. I had to grind a half-stop and fiddle a bit to get the action right, but its coming along.
Ouch! The same thing happened to me with a Spanish knife I bought the other year If you contact Wright's, I'm pretty sure they'll send you a replacement knife. Here's a link to their contact page: http://www.penknives-and-scissors.co.uk/cgi-bin/mf000001.pl?ACTION=SHOWFORM
Nice work there though Out of the jaws of disaster, the Lambdouk rises!
Thanks! Such a great blade shape, I think such a simple and utilitarian design such as the Douk Douk would do well with such a blade.
I was disappointed, but at least I got a fun project out if it! If the body rejects the transplant I'll probably look into making new back spring for it. Too good a blade to go to waste.
Ask Wright's if they'll send you a spare back-spring too!
Congratulations Jack and everyone else who has contributed to these 200 pages.
Thanks mate, always good to see your Unity Lambsfoot, cool pic
I can't remember if i've seen this particular blade listed here before or not...
If it's been there the whole time, my apologies all...
EDIT: WOOHOO!!!
Well spotted! That's a piece of history right there I have been admiring Charlie's skillful arm-twisting for a few years now, and it has been fun to watch Great to see GEC have finally stopped resisting the irresistible Lambsfoot Well done Charlie and GEC
