Thanks, Garry. Your comment made me smile, because I was only going to post 1 pic and I nearly deleted the top because I liked the other a little more.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 5:18 pm Lovely, interesting, shots, Ike. The top one is exceptional.

Re: Knives in the Wild
In fact, I struggled between the two. The second shot has much to recommend it. I finally went with the top shot because of how the sweep of the fallen log carried my eye deeper into the photo.
But I love the balance in the 2nd shot between the density of the trees contrasting with the openness of the field. Very fine depth of field on this one.

Re: Knives in the Wild
Very nice, Scott!
This is my new knife I bought to take on our hikes. Got it cheap off the sale table at SMKW the last time I was there. It’s sharp, but I don’t depend on it holding an edge real well. But I did like the design. Nice canvas sheath with it, too.

Re: Knives in the Wild
Thank you, I appreciate.your comment. HSB Hardware went out of business back in 1960, not surprising that you hadn't heard of them. Their knives were made by good companies, and any that I have owned have all been good, solid knives.
