Nice pics everyone.
The glare on the bolsters is kind of annoying, but the antique bone on this rehandled GEC came out looking pretty snazzy in these pics I think...

Re: Knife Photography
Great pics Mike, and amazing how they made that bone look really old and classy. Great bones. Wow, if I knew there was someone out there putting covers on like that I might have to try somehting like that. Reminds me of my old Voos Rogers bone that's 70+ years old. Amazing. That's the closest thing to vintage Rogers bone that I've seen. Beautiful knife now and it looks vintage sweet.313 Mike wrote:Nice pics everyone.

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks Gino, did I tell you I love those TDrops, and you have great, much better than usual stag on that one. Win/win. I know I told you. Can't help mention.
Here's the American I just got. In addition to being so smooth, so rounded on both ends/bolsters, so rounded in the middle as the scales sort of bulge out because they are rounded, and rounded blade, rounded edge, rounded everything. And with smooth bone it's an incredible feel. The bone is also always changing looks to different color in different light. The knife has bone like no other bone I've ever seen, even other smooth bones. It goes from yellow, to barely pink, to grey, to white, to flat to translucent, to marbled like fractured glass or that unmistakable snowball look you get when the snow is just right for balling and pelting, semi-translucent. Snowball bone. Amazing. Several different shades in one. Had to show you.

Re: Knife Photography
Interesting photo's to say the least! Almost looks like two different knives. The last photo down it looks more like horn, but the other ones like bone. Very nice, Terry

Re: Knife Photography
Haven't checked in here for awhile, some fine photos being posted as usual.
This is a shot I took for the canoe thread but I got just a tiny bit artistic with the background.

Re: Knife Photography
Actually Sas I was drawn to the foreground which I thought highly creative. Getting the sun light to hit the Case shield and not the rest of the scale I think is very striking.

Re: Knife Photography
You're right Terry, kind of bovine horn like. And every lighting condition is different. Thanks for the compliments guys, Sasquach that's a great shot with the light right.

Re: Knife Photography
Very nice photos, Gino, Ivoryman, and Charlie. I can see why you like that GEC so much, Ivoryman: that is some nice looking bone.
This afternoon I was dusting the bookcase where I keep some spheres and I realized that the light was just right to get a photo, so I grabbed some knives and snapped a couple of photos. The spheres are Carnelian, Chrysocolla, and Septarian (left to right), and the knives are Hickey, Fight'n Rooster, and Bulldog.

Great photos and knives on this page fellas.
Got say there isn't a single knife in those pics that I wouldn't like to own myself.
