Knife Photography

As always Iman, great shots!

Jamie, I thought that's what this thread was for....showing off photos!

From the archive again... The knife corner.

You have a superb knife display set up, Charlie.

[tvic]

Awesome set up and collection, Charlie! Some close-up photos would be nice!

[Quick Steel]

Question Charlie. What do you use to hold your knives in place (versus gravity)?

[Dan In MI]

I echo everyone else: Charlie's display is stellar! I don't think the plaster in my ol' house could handle such things, sadly.

[Sasquach]

Thank you everyone!

QS, the display cases I have are filled with a foam insert and the foam is covered by black velvet. When you place a knife in the display and close the lid the knife is pressed into the foam backing holding it in place. However there are some drawbacks to this system, one is you must be careful not to place thicker knives close to thinner knives because the thick knife will depress the foam more causing the thinner knife to be loose. Also, as you add, remove, and rearrange the foam gets broken down and needs to be replaced occasionally. In case you are interested I've purchased all of my display cases from the same vendor at https://www.customdisplays.com/knife-display-cases.html

Tim, I've tried to get close-ups but the reflections off the glass refuse to be dealt with. As explained above, I can't open the glass cover unless I take the display down off of the wall and lay it flat. I'll give it another shot when I get some time but I ain't makin' any promises.

For those of you who have been following my posts and have asked about Trey and his squirrel chasing adventures I have some sad news. The mighty Muffin Head was diagnosed with cancer yesterday. As it stands now he is going need to have a toe amputated. As always with cancer we can only hope that's going to be the end of it. In any case, our walks are going to be on hold for a while.

Dogs are pretty tough, he will be running again before you know it. Good looking boy he is!

Thanks for the well wishes Sam. Trey is doing much better than I expected and seems to be healing rapidly.

[Dan In MI]

Beautiful photos, I-Man. And I'm glad to hear the Muffin Head is doing well.

[Sasquach]

Trey appreciates your positive thoughts Dan.

I'm going to my archive again today...

[Ivoryman]

Iman, as always your beach shots are beautiful and well staged. I'm enjoying the show!

[Quick Steel]

Iman, you always have good settings for your knives and this one is no exception. The photo is beautifully composed.

Glad to hear it! A dog is the best creature that God ever created in my book.

Thanks Quick S, thanks Squach. Appreciate it, I try to shoot stuff that's interesting to look at behind the subject matter. Thanks again.

One of my favorites.

Update: The date is wrong on the photo. The “Camillus” stamp on the other blade indicates 1941-1946 according to Goins.

[Papa Bones]

One of my favorites.

Great looking Camillus Sword Brand Tim. A lot of those are bad about cracking around the pins. Yours looks pristine.
