Re: Knife Photography
Sunknife, thanks and it's a very good knife, don't think you'll regret getting one. But it came with a small spay, ground it down to the sheep foot/coping and there was a bump on the spine in the swedge near the tip of the main spear so ground it down too. Pen remains original only. Great size, action, bones, blades. Right back at you on that one too. Love the old EZ opens. Beautiful knife, great back drop. Exxxxceleeeeeeeeent shot.
Thanks Rookie, yours too, hard to beat ivory dyed by mother nature. That's a trophy.

Had a rumble with the jungle at the back fence this morning. This humidity is a killer!

Re: Knife Photography
Cool layout Squatch, and I like how JTX has a modern and traditional together. Well done.
Here are a few nice shots I got today of my amber stag muskrat.

That stag is on fire Rookie, looks like hot coals against that mossy ground.

Re: Knife Photography
Balows and Stockmans, the workin' man's knives. Anyone who works around a garden or garage has need for either of those knives, great lookin' blades and pics BTW. The other necessary pattern is a good solid lockback and that Queen certainly fits the bill.
Any trip into the weeds in my backyard needs at the very least a good lock back and a way to stat a fire. Large Chris Reeves Sebenza double lug 21 with Ebony inlays and my old Marble Match safe with compass.

Mike,
Them red handles are really great! I've got an ol' Moose that has red handles that I like to tote around now and then.

Re: Knife Photography
Mike, like your original and interesting placement. I think the 1st photo has the better "distance" if you know what I mean. Nice.

Here's one more from today's walkabout...
Something about the stump and the moss and the ferns sitting there alongside the trail called out to me for a knife pic

Re: Knife Photography
Two outstanding examples, Lloyd!
I seriously can't decide which one I like more. Both are highly desirable.

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks Tony for the nice comments! The bottom HSB OVB came up on EBay a few months ago as a BIN at a very reasonable price and I snagged it quickly! In very high grade condition. Blades don't show any use. Was thrilled to get it

It's the first "dogleg teardrop" (for lack of a better term) I've ever seen. Looks like you really scored on it!

Re: Knife Photography
Scott, great old knives, what happened to the scales on the TL-29, looks like homemade jigging, also what are the handles made from?
Duffer, great pic, great knives but if I'd have my druthers and could only pick one, the dogleg jack with pinched bolsters does it the best for me
