I've said that same thing before and Scott has posted some of the best pictures on AAPK, IMO.
I know how he feels, I published a book of knife pictures but I've given more away than have sold.
Here are a couple of pages from the book.

Very nice photo of that Imperial, Scott.

Regarding the calendar/book market, I have thought many times that some of the photos on this site should be collected into an AAPK calendar. But...even I would not get much use of out one. For many years I would put up a calendar in my man cave every January. About June I would notice that I had not turned a page since January.

TOPDOGG, that's a beautiful knife, LOVE the Lon Humpfrey, beauty.
Q, beautiful pictures, tickled you're pleased with the Erickson. No overkill when someone is genuinely that happy about an acquisition. Rock on.
Sasquach, very cool photo, I love the blacked out background, and the colors of the knife. Sweeeeeeet.
dlr110, great stack 'o knives there, great pic too.
FFF, great looking old knife and good background.
Everyone is stepping up their game. Wow. Great scrolling though this after a few days away. Sweet pics all, keep them coming.


Here's a couple shots of this pretty Brother Q included in the trade, and my old GEC Bullet End taken right after each other. Look how different the color appears from ivory in some photos, to yellow in others. Zero filters, no changed settings, just click, click, click, one after another. No effects. No Nothing. BUT, vastly different looking color. And may I say the Brother blows away the RRiders, Schrades, and Imperials I have handled. If I knew these Brothers were this good I never would have bought a Rough Rider or Schrade or Imperial from China at all. Wished I had bought Brothers instead. But I didn't buy this, it was a great Q bomb. Thanks Q, the Brother is like an AGRussell. CUTS above the others.

Thanks Iman.

Your pics are beautiful. A couple of great looking knives and I like the "river rocks" background. ::tu::

Great photo GSP. That Humphrey looks like a very handy all purpose knife. What is the OAL?

It is about 10" OAL. He makes a tough knife there are some videos on you-tube of him doing torture test on his bigger chapping blades, bending them in a vice, chopping big heavy stuff in half, etc.

Nice photos GSP!!!
I'm new to the RAT/ESEE knives and I was surprised by how well the "traction blade coating" held up and cleaned up. It didn't chip or scratch and cleaning it after use was easy even though the coating is textured. Good size for an all purpose camp knife. The only complaint I have is, for my purposes, I don't like the kydex sheath at all. I'm sure it does well in molle applications but I'm more of a leather belt sheath fan. ::tu::

TOPDOG, FFF, jtx, Squach, great shots, great scrolling through this thread again, and love seeing all the shots as the stepping up of the game continues. Niiiiiiice all of you.


Here's a shot of what I was carrying with this Western USA of my cousins that was from that 70's and used to be his "Scout" knife. I really like the Western, the wood and construction is great, solid and good looking and sweet blade with some great patina.

GSPTOPDOG, I like the Rat; it'll be in consideration should I want another fixed blade.

Scott, a stellar photo, as always. Your grandson is also a great photographer...and what editing software do you use?

Sasquach, I'm not a fan of ESEE's sheaths either. I'd be a lot more inclined to buy one if they offered black leather sheaths and/or knives without sheaths.

Ivoryman, that Schrade stockman is superb!

And here is a shot I wanted to take before I lightened the load some. From top to bottom: Schrade 104OT, Schrade 34OT, and Camillus 99. I believe it was an okay idea, but the execution leaves something to be desired.
