Re: Knife Photography
Boy I'm kinda embarrassed to say it but that church key is a Case product that Scott gave me when I bought a knife or knives from him. Not a mod .

I agree with QS, Rookie. Cool looking picks and nice photos.

Re: Knife Photography
Bunch of great shots Rookie, the light is subdued, but clear. Excellent. Great splashes of color with the flower thrown in, the old wood. A+
I was just noticing today that these two have very similar blades, only about between 1/8 and maybe 3/16 difference in length and about the same width. What surprises is the #66 Ebony Calf Roper is 3 1/2 closed. The Cripple Creek #14 Boys knife is 3 inch closed. So for a knife frame that is a half inch longer, the blade is only at most 3/16 longer. Feels like a lot more blade for the size in the #14 and surprised me the #66 blade is not a bit longer given the significantly longer frame. Feels like it should be longer. Heard that one before.

Re: Knife Photography
Very nice photo of that Northfield, Trace.
I really like the patina on that Case, JTX. That is what a pocket knife is supposed to look like!
Great photos on the previous page, Ivoryman. I really like that wood block stage.

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks Quick S, you're too kind. Dinadan, just set it down in the unsplit part of the wood pile with an ancient Eskimo artifact made of a piece of Walrus tusk. Thanks.
jtx, is that a 06247PEN? I'm into those lately. Love the pattern and yours has history all over it. Love that one.
Beautiful bones Rotten. Great shot, lighting, really brings out the color.

Re: Knife Photography
Cool shot John, and great idea. Was it on purpose or an accident?

Re: Knife Photography
I'm impressed Scott with your photo staging and yes that wood grain is very unusually!

Re: Knife Photography
Scott, I like the contrast with the smooth knife and the wood. I was out cutting down a birch and the wedge piece looked like a knife display so I stopped for a photo. I needed a rest anyway. ____Dave
