Whenever I take it out of my pocket, my knife friends are like, "Whoa, what is that, and where did you get it?" When they find out the logo on the scales is over 300 years old, they are really impressed it is a classic piece of British history. Over here in the USA, this thing exudes coolness. For those who live in the UK, this meets the requirements there for pocket carry. This knife is very elegant if you pull it out at a party to help someone open a blister pack, no one will freak out, not even non-knife people. The back spring is still VERY strong, and I like that as the odds of it closing by accident are nil. It was so tight that I clipped a pair of vise grips to the blade and opened and closed it 1000 times to wear it in. When I first got it, yes, it was hard to open but I would rather have a tight knife that wears in, than a loose one that wears out. Though the description says the scales are stainless but the blade is C70 carbon steel, my blade is marked "RODGERS STAINLESS SHEFFIELD ENGLAND." First off, I love this knife! I bought this one because it is thin and fits in the 5th pocket of a pair of jeans. I purchased this knife several years ago from Heinnie Haynes. Blade comes pretty blunt from the factory unfortunately I am pleased to find that the new purchases open firmly but will not need 'breaking in' using mini-vices etc for 100's of cycles before becoming workable. I bought a couple from you last year and found them very hard to open - the thumb-nail slot is smaller which did not help. The blade is not marked as stainless tho' obviously is. ![]() It is unobtrusive but always gets compliments if noticed. It must be over 20 years since I purchased my Lambsfoot from Jo[[y's of Tiverton to replace a lost silver fruit knife. After an hour or so with my lansky kit,I got the edge 'almost right' but not perfect, due to the depth of around a third of the initial 'bad grind'. The only reason I went with 4* is that the edge was poorly ground - one side of the blade was fine, the other was atrocious. You do need a rather strong thumbnail to get the knife open, but after oiling and opening / closing about 30 times it is starting to improve - 'nail nick' being deeper would help of course. Handle is 4.5mm thick (not much thicker than most blades) so way too thin to be "clamped in your fist", but perfect for holding in your finger tips when doing very precise, gentle work. If you plan to strip heavy armoured cable / sharpen or feather 1" sticks / carve and strip bark off hiking poles etc. If you want a very light, thin, small knife which will be kept sharp and used for nothing heavier than sharpening a pencil / cutting string / finely slicing a tomato - this will be ideal. ĭescription says blade is 'carbon', Specification says it's 'stainless' (stainless also stamped on blade). 4 Nice little knife, but poor edge grind.I still don't know how it's possible to make a knife in the UK to sell at such a low price but I'm glad they can! I wish quality assurance was better - mine had a grinder burn near the tiny 'choil' which would have ruined the heat treat if it was further along the blade I managed to grind it out but it couldn't be done with an everyday sharpener. It can be made razor sharp but edge retention is not great. This is a good EDC being Very light & robust enough to knock around. ![]() I'm Sheffield born & bred so admit to being a bit biased when it comes to Sheffield made knives & I have many in my collection, some very old. Fit and finish is excellent and the blade grind is spot on as well as being razor sharp. The presentation tools in Google Drive and Office365 both allow simultaneous editing by multiple people and are perfect tools for this activity.This is a great lambsfoot! Especially for the cost. The presentations can either be delivered live at a later session, as above or recorded and posted to the module’s Blackboard site for others to access when convenient. Students are encouraged to work individually, to begin with, as this reduces the need for them all to be online simultaneously initially, and later they come together online to consolidate their findings and produce their final presentation. When used over a longer period, the introduction and activity setting aspect can be delivered live as above or as a pre-recorded video for students to access online as they need it. When the time comes for the students to present their work to each other, the use of the webinar tool allows the remote students to appear to the in-room students and vice versa. When used during a timetabled session, the method used is largely the same as for a Blended Seminar, with some students online and working using breakouts in a webinar tool and other students in the physical room working directly with each other. This approach can be used during a single timetabled session or over a longer period.
