Words like 'Express' and 'Priority' seem to take on different meanings when it comes to shipping, I was hoping a couple would have arrived this weekend, as I shipped the first ones eight days ago now
I hate it when you check the tracking, and the package doean't seem to have moved for 4-5 days!!
It's okay, I've had such a stressful week I probably couldn't have enjoyed it, now I have something to look forward to on Tuesday. I had my Ebony Lambfoot out to take a quick snap, and this curious fellow flew down to investigate.
I was wondering what kind of bird that is. So that's a kookaburra, are they always so friendly?
Beautiful lambfoot, Jack. I can't quite read the tang stamp, is it unusual for Sheffield cutlers to use a steel pivot pin?
Truth! Tracking shows mine is at the post office, but they sometimes like to wait an extra day before actually putting it in the PO box, especially before a three day weekend.

Sorry to hear about your stressful week r8shell, I hope you are soothed by the Lambsfoot! Not at all, though I have a few with repair jobs which look like they have been done with a nail!
That would have worked quite nicely.Jerscreened porch , it struck me that the lefty blade A. Wright make for this model, might have been more apt a fit for your two bladed Lambsfoot, in terms of nail nick accessibility.
Thanks for the progress report Archie, sorry it's taking so long. That's good advice from Chin. You can also tape wet 'n' dry around your Sharpmaker rods

They are, r8shell, my friend. I always enjoy seeing and hearing Laughing Kookaburras in the bush. You do need to watch any food you have in your hand though, during outdoor BBQs! They're masters at swooping down and leaving you with a puzzled look and an empty hand!
They're also the reason why, despite Australia's reputation for many deadly snakes, if you see a snake in the wild, they're often slithering as fast as they can to get to cover before a Kookaburra scoops them up!
Sorry to hear you had a rough week, my friend. Hopefully, you'll have something Lambfooty in the mail soon, to cheer you up.
True, Jer, and definitely a piece to be proud of.
Well, I was driving through the bush this weekend, and the weather was so nice, I decided to head home and grab my swag and pack, and a book, and camp out last night.
When I got home, there was a package waiting for me.
I tore into it like a starving wolverine!
Oh wow! I'm dumbfounded at the moment, so I'll let the pics do the talking!
Jack even included a reminder of a pleasant evening we enjoyed in the Red Deer pub, earlier this year!
After pouring a celebratory pint, and taking some pics, I gave it my customary flushing out with mineral oil and a closer examination. I'm well impressed, Jack - you and the lads at A. Wright and Son should be proud! What a stunningly beautiful Lambsfoot rendition, my friend. Just superb in every aspect!
We're going to spend some time together on the stones this evening, and this beauty is going straight in my pocket!
Salud, mi amigo!
It must be great to be able to get out into the bush like that, nice-looking swag, and great pics of your ebony Lambsfoot But I nearly dropped my coffee when I scrolled down and saw your Guardians Lambsfoot, not only because they are fantastic photos of a beautiful knife, but because you got it so fast! I know it says 'AIR MAIL', but with the usual speed of international shipping, you kind of suspect they are using carrier-pigeons really! Very nice my friend, what do you think to that horn eh? I'm looking forward to seeing more of that one in the months and years to come You won the 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot race! I wonder who is going to come in in second place? Can't wait to see those pocket sheaths too 
Chin, your comments about the swooping Kookaburras at BBQs reminded me of the brazen seagulls along the shores of Lake Huron where we vacation each summer!They are, r8shell, my friend.

In the Beverages and Blades thread (I think), I compared the covers of your new Guardians' Lambsfoot to brush strokes, but what strikes me in the pics above is how similar to tree rings the pattern in your horn handles is!! Unforgettable, I suspect! Congratulations!!

Wow Chin, I always look forward to your posts
