Thanks very much. I think I might have posted this photo recently. If so, sorry for the repeat, but it shows the pruner shape well. And I believe the pruner handle compliments and sets off the Lambsfoot blade better than any other handle shape.

Just polishing the rosewood a bit, here

Hello Guardians, I humbly present a photo in hand of my very first Lams foot knife

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

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to thee the Douksfoot
(Or LambDouk?)View attachment 834132
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.

I love 'em. As you said very pocket friendly and nearly indestructible. I'm going to use a removable pivot this one and carry it for a bit and see how I get on with it. Its a fun project so far, but not sure I'm ready to sacrifice a good Douk Douk!sitflyer thats a beeeeaut! And that's the ticket eh, you're in! Secret handshake and all the other stuff, in good time.
solphilos man, you're cracking me up with Frankenlambsfoot !
Very clever and industrious of you. I carried a Douk Douk for years, it sure is pocket friendly despite its size.
Good fun on the Guardians of the Lambsfoot thread here today.
Michael
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.Waste not want not! I'm really liking your ingenuity and creativeness to put that fine blade to work! Well done
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.Sorry to hear about the backspring snapping. Great ingenuity on the transplant though!
