There's a story in that. Sasquatch was my handle on the CB radio years ago, it was kinda' unique. Then, as time wen on, everybody and their brother was using Sasquatch and Bigfoot as nicknames, CB handles, screen names etc. When I started using the internet I used it as my screen name for sites that require one and I started getting the message that the name was already used. So I dropped the "T" and voila , I was unique again. A friend started calling me PUNAP (Previously undiscovered North American primate) but I thought that was too politically correct.

One from the archive.

Sasquach, I wish you had posted the "condensed" version of your "origin story" sooner, ... you would have saved me a lot of unnecessary reading ... Well at least so far your story matches up with the book version...

My wood pile always makes a good background!

Very nice Tim .... That is about the perfect pocketknife in my opinion, ...A great blade profile and absolutely beautiful scales ... Of course you can't go wrong with a wood pile in the background

Didn't know I had a biographer. Bet nobody believes him.

Here's another blast from the past out of the archive.

Thanks Q. Those are some fine shots of a unique knife. I always enjoy your photography.

Mahalo, Squach And likewise for me with your photography. Looking at the photos in this thread gives me ideas for shots to try with my own knives. In fact, even though the knife isn't perfectly in sharp focus in your yellow Sodbuster with the lake background pic, it was the inspiration for many attempts to take a similar shot of my own with both the knife and distant background in close enough focus so as not to have one or the other so blurry they were indistinguishable and unpleasant to look at. Yours is about the best I've seen so far, but I keep trying (and failing ).

This is my latest attempt.....background is crisp and in focus, but my knife looks like it is in the process of being beamed up by Scotty

I find it very difficult to get my phone cam to focus well on shots like that. I want the background and the subject to both be in clear focus but it always seems to be a trade off. I shot a batch of photos yesterday on our walk with my Ivoryman Schrade. I placed the knife on the stub of a broken limb about shoulder high off the ground and tight to the tree trunk. I tried to shoot with the knife and cool bark pattern in the foreground and catch the lush green foliage awakening in the background. None of those pics were worth posting. The foreground was blurred in every one no matter what angle I shot from. Thanks to digital photography I can use a "spray and pray" method. I soot a large number of pics and hope one of them will be the bomb. In this case the best I got was a fizzle. Back to the drawing board.

Some superb photos, Charlie and Q!

One of my favorite pics because it was taken while we were up on a mountain hiking the Appalachian Trail.

I enjoyed your photo very much, Tim.

I've always said that a man is never closer to God than when he is standing on a mountain top surrounded by His works. Beautiful pic Tim!
