Thank You IM.. Some times it works out!!! JohnIvoryman wrote:Great backdrops Rookie, Jmh, Mad Hungarian. Excellent shots on this page.
Not much for backdrop but I liked the way this one laid on the bed. And the more I use and carry this Moki Glory, the more I love it. Only gets better with time.

Case Honey Bone yellow and Robin's egg blue.

Re: Knife Photography
That Case is a beauty Ivoryman. I've been eyeing that same pattern in the honey bone and missed out on a couple that went up for auction on the bay in recent months. Nice taste in knives you have there.
Got a snapshot of my most recent pickup, a Camillus perched on a wet timber after a rainstorm.

Hey Rookie , I really enjoyed your tour of Tuna Valley. I especially like the bone on the Gunstock jack. Thanks for sharing. SteveRookie wrote:part 2, a few more

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.

Wonderful knife photos Ivoryman and Sunfish
Thanks Steve. That gunstock is actually a smooth surface mammoth ivory bark. It's pretty unique, usually the ivory is more cream colored or has flecks of grey or blue, there aren't many that have reds/oranges in them like that.bladebuddy wrote:Hey Rookie , I really enjoyed your tour of Tuna Valley.

Re: Knife Photography
Sunknife, thanks and it's a very good knife, don't think you'll regret getting one. But it came with a small spay, ground it down to the sheep foot/coping and there was a bump on the spine in the swedge near the tip of the main spear so ground it down too. Pen remains original only. Great size, action, bones, blades. Right back at you on that one too. Love the old EZ opens. Beautiful knife, great back drop. Exxxxceleeeeeeeeent shot.
Thanks Rookie, yours too, hard to beat ivory dyed by mother nature. That's a trophy.

Had a rumble with the jungle at the back fence this morning. This humidity is a killer!

Cool layout Squatch, and I like how JTX has a modern and traditional together. Well done.

That stag is on fire Rookie, looks like hot coals against that mossy ground.

Re: Knife Photography
Balows and Stockmans, the workin' man's knives. Anyone who works around a garden or garage has need for either of those knives, great lookin' blades and pics BTW. The other necessary pattern is a good solid lockback and that Queen certainly fits the bill.
Any trip into the weeds in my backyard needs at the very least a good lock back and a way to stat a fire. Large Chris Reeves Sebenza double lug 21 with Ebony inlays and my old Marble Match safe with compass.

Re: Knife Photography
Mike, like your original and interesting placement. I think the 1st photo has the better "distance" if you know what I mean. Nice.
