All About Pocket Knives

John, some of your photos feature nice red knives. This always reminds me of reading how photographers for National Geographic regularly carried several thin red scarfs. When they were photographing anywhere in the word, especially crowd scenes, they would ask someone wear the red scarf simply to add color to the scene. Then too in the black and white film Schindler's List there was just one element filmed in color: the red coat worn by a little girl soon to be taken by the Nazis. [Stray thoughts on a Saturday afternoon.]

While waiting for the boys to arrive at the park I put my new vintage Western to work....

And now I am waiting to see pictures of your boys in the park. Also nice knife.

Scott.. Kool pic of a real nice knife.. Nice feather stick too!! Sometimes I wish those old knives could talk.. The stories some of them could tell would be interesting!! John

I was outdoors again.....love this cool weather....will be gone in a couple days.

Great pic Scott.
Sure hard to come by skies that blue here in Jersey!

Great angle on that photo Scott. Really good.

Thanks fellas!

This was taken just 2 weeks ago.. BUCK 107 and Coon tracks on a log.. John

Very cool shot John!!!

Thanks Scott.. John

I hope the coon didn't drop that knife. Neat photo

Very neat John. I'm thinking one of those trail cameras might be interesting for seeing what goes on around here at night. Tho there were not many tracks in the snow this winter.

Working knives in the wild today.....

Like the spoon. No assistants?

Cool western blade and hook knife Scott, the spoon carved from Cherry wood?

No sir, Red Maple I believe.

Ah dang it, I thought maple at first glance then guessed cherry. Its very nice, always something special about hand made wood items. I think its the warmth of wood, the beauty of wood grain and the time spent working on them and getting away from the fast pace of other things in life for a moment.

Very well said my knife friend. It took hours.....I felt like an Indian working on a project that required my time and focus, not my hurried life.

Thanks dog, Garry, sunknife!!
