Thank you Wazu. I appreciate the input.

Slim -- I'm guessing that first one is from the Keystone series. Can you tell me which series it's from so I can be lazy and not have to look it up?

Edit: Never mind. That's the "Doctors Knife" from the 2010 Series XX. No wonder I didn't recognize it. It's a neat looking knife but it doesn't look anything like a doctors knife.



Can I add a Doc like the one RedDirt posted? It's from the Keystone Series V released in 1995.

In the 1998 Keystone Series VIII was this Gunstock.

I was thinking perhaps the crimped "pill-buster" bolster was one of the things that made it not look anything like a doctors knife to ya Jerry until you posted the Keystone Doc which has the same bolster so I'm thinking the Primary blade must be the thing that makes it look nothing like a Doctors knife or did I miss something else? My guess is that the Doctor who might have owned and used this knife in the field utilized this blade type as often as his other more "traditional" specialty knife if not more. If those two knives weren't cutting it and he was needing a Doctors knife with 3 scalpels and right before he broke out the SAK he may have used this (not pearl,sorry) ...

Awesome Baby Fish Toe Wazu and Cool numbers 123.Great job bringing out the pearl in your pics also. I'm thinking low light may be the key when in macro mode... Wazu, Does your Nikon ever refuse to take a picture in high light or very low light conditions while in macro mode? I have a point and shoot Olympus that does. It's like it can't figure all of the auto focus parameters while in auto/macro setting so it just flashes a red light. Usually it is on knives or angles where there is a lot of shine or glare but if I step back a bit or change angle it will give the green. I thought it was just a point and shoot cheaper camera issue so I got a better camera and it is even more sensitive. The pics of the SxM 2 blade jack knife I posted were done in macro actually super-macro mode with anti-shake and autofocus on and flash off and possibly too much light..
JERRY SIR. Nice pair The way you took the indoor pics really brought out the pinks and there was no light diffusion. Was there a skylight above the knives perhaps or just a nice mix of natural light from windows and artificial light?

Sorry Quick Steel, I think I was looking at the quote under your posting Slim

My camera gives me the red light once in a while but I just start over and it usually comes around. It takes patients sometimes.

Here are two more.

Photos are the best I could do - sorry. They do not begin to capture the beauty, especially of the big handles of the 1L. My appreciation for the beautiful picture of the (former) president's sunfish.
