My three A Wright knives.Many thanks to strokednbored out of Austin Texas for his patience in guiding me with very well made diagrams through the steps. Much appreciated brother.
Glad you got the whole pictures thing figured out, you have an excellent trio there. Very nice.

Here's a relatively recent pic of my Guardians Lambsfoot. I finally started to actually use the knife about two weeks ago, mostly for food prep, and a patina soon appeared:

The knife overall looks superb, GT, but that patina is looking real good.

I'm working on a complete mock up in plastic before I start cutting any metal.

I am intrigued by your project, Michael. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
I'm sure most folks here will remember the stunning and historic TEW Lambsfoot Barlow rockman0 thrilled us with a couple of months back. Well, Rob very kindly offered to send his prize on a visit to Yorkshire, and I received his package yesterday afternoon Not only did he send me this illustrious knife to have a thorough look at, but he very generously gifted me an Alfred Blackwell Lambsfoot - and in far better condition than the one I have! Also, a 4000 year old arrowhead!! What a historic package! Many thanks Rob

Most excellent, Jack! A fine gift and that TEW is always a treat to see. It will be interesting to hear/read more of your thoughts on it later.
Some rather shoddy images taken at work-full scale blizzard raging outside so the images don't do the knife justice. I hope you get an idea of how pleased I am as this has very decent stag on board.
Regards, Will
Will, you struck gold, my friend. That stag is something special. The more and more I hang out here on the Porch, the more and more Stag is starting to really appeal to me.
I am rather fond of smoking a pipe now and then. It is an experience that is hard to describe but it brings with it peace, quiet, and an opportunity for deep thinking. Oddly, one of my favorite pipes is also one of my most fragile, being that it is made from clay. Clay pipes have a very long and rich history, much like the Lambsfoot, I would suspect.
Peace, quiet, calm reflection: All best experienced with a good pipe, paired with a good flavorful English blend, and a cup of good strong coffee. And a fine knife to fiddle or whittle with, of course.
