Charlie, that sounds like a plan. I will bring my 3 examples to show Bill. Then you can apply the pressure to his arm!
maybe we will see a 15 with a lambs foot?!!!

Hope you take to the Lambsfoot MrKnife I'd be grateful if you could please edit your posts to remove the commercial stuff though
will do
Thanks a lot Happy to help by PM if I can
With pleasure!!Charlie, that sounds like a plan. I will bring my 3 examples to show Bill. Then you can apply the pressure to his arm!
Fantastic Ron, thanks for taking the time to post those fine pics.
Apart from the chance to enjoy seeing your superb knife again, I'm interested in the silhouette/side profile lines of classic Lambsfoot knives.
That 'Radiant of yours has a gracefully tapering blade spine down to the tip, and a nice continuous flow from handle end to blade tip. Some Lambsfoot knife handles rise to a slight kind of hump, just around the pivot area, and the spine and blade edge drop below horizontal towards the tip.
With pleasure!!
That's very kind of you, Lee.
The Lambshank was an attempt at making a light, handy, high performance fixed blade version of a Lambsfoot pocketknife.
It arose out of an earlier discussion in this thread.
There's more on the Lambshank here.
Once I get those old posts fixed up, I'll put some notes together for a progress review.
Excellent knives again folks! One of my favorite threads.
Had a package waiting for me on my return from a vacation.

It is a large AWS lambfoot. I went back and forth on scales, but ultimately decided on ....
I was able to work with the vendor on getting a nice example: centered blade, flush pins and matched scales. Edge is serviceable but not great. W&T is good, but will benefit from Chin's minstrations. All in all I'm very pleased. It's in my pocket today and will stay there for a while.
To finish, I'm sure the Space Shuttle pattern will be taking off soon, rocketing into the constellation of all time stars, ... I could go on, but won't. (Ugh, just couldn't resist.)
That looks like a nice one Tom, glad it arrived I find the larger blades are a bit easier to open than the smaller ones. Looking forward to seeing more of your knife, and to reading your further thoughts on it my friend
Yorkshire Day here tomorrow, so I'll be out celebrating with a trusty Lambsfoot in my pocket
i cant tell, but does that have the sway back like characteristics ?
would you say they are pinchable?
Congrats on your Lambsfoot Tom !!! The grain of the Rosewood is really nice. They did pick out a nice one for you . I agree with you on a 4 finger knife for a user .Excellent knives again folks! One of my favorite threads.

It is a large AWS lambfoot. I went back and forth on scales, but ultimately decided on rosewood over horn as I like wood for a go-anywhere EDC. (Am thinking however I may need one with horn after seeing Jack and FBC's wonderfully contrasty recent horn offerings.) On the other hand, no need to deliberate on size: unlike others I prefer a solid 4-finger handle and don't mind the larger size in the pocket.

Not enough words Charlie .This is probably my favorite Lambfoot knife (As stamped on the blade - also known as a Lambsfoot!). Joseph Rodgers & Sons. Amazing jigged bone, thunderous snap with an 8-9 pull, just the way I like them! Double Rattail Bolsters, and a traditionally shaped blade and stovepipe kick. I may have pictured it before; but these are new scans.
3 7/8" of Uber-Lambey!!
