I like the bone on that one Ivoryman.

I picked up some new Tuna Valley's at the Queen show this past weekend, and got some nice photos today of them. Here they are.

Thanks a bunch, but man alive, next to those it looks pretty plain Jane. That trapper or scout in the middle is STUNNING, incredible, congrats big time. In fact never seen antler like that, what's it called? Looks like burnt, dyed, color enhanced antler. Amazing color, what a looker.

Thank you. I took about 150 pictures to bring out and show the 6-7 I posted. That knife is the Tuna Valley, Sweybelly Trapper, made by Queen Cutlery. It has huge chunky stag on it, which is something I really like. That handle is called Amber Stag. They don't always have that color, sometimes they are just reddish brown with black char marks, but that one really has a lot of color to it.

Nice photos here. I really like the Tuna Valley on the .22 ammo. Very good lighting on the blade.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. That shot with the 22 ammo took the longest out of them all. Lots of goofing around to get the knife to sit right, get the camera to focus right, and also wait for the sun to go behind a cloud.

Great pics Ivoryman & Mike! ::tu:: ::clapping::

Love that Bk Iman!

Mike, can we use that knife to slice up some of those green tomatoes and fry 'em?

A friend and co-worker (a former jar head) gave me this one to sharpen for him. I figured I'd do a "memory lane" shot for him too while I have it.

Wow Squatch, fantastic pic, love that addition of the worn old cover behind the knife, matches perfectly with the sheath and the knife itself, very cool!

Here are a few I finally got around to taking pictures of. I took lots and lots of pictures yesterday, these are the best ones that came out. I had lots of trouble with the sun poking in and out of the clouds and messing up my reflections.

Great photos Guys!!!

Nice shots of some fine Tuna Valley stag, Rookie! ::tu::

Great pics of those Northwoods camel bones too, Ivoryman!! ::clapping::

I tried something a bit different. I'm not sure yet if I like it.

Nice pics Ivory and Squatch. That camel bone is really eye-catching.

Charlie, I like the concept with that abalone shell. In that shot however it seems to be more of a focus than the knife itself. But I think you're on to something there. Lots of color in that shell.
