All About Pocket Knives

Nice pics Ivoryman. I especially like the 2nd photo.

Outstanding composition, almost painting-like...and what an incredible Menefee! Everything about that knife ticks boxes for me. Awesome piece of cutlery, thanks for sharing!

Excellent photo

Thanks Rockmano. Appreciate it.
Pistonsandgears, that is one of the most beautiful knives, great ivory and wharncliffe. Wow is all I can say. That's a 10.

Pistonsandgears I agree with Ivoryman, that is a beautiful knife. What makes is it?

I hope you don't mind (or want royalties) because that image makes a GREAT desktop background.

I have a thing for wharncliffe blades lately, and that one fits the bill.

Got a thing for Wharns too, but it's not lately. Chronic, long term affliction. Welcome to AAPK Americanedgetech.

Stunning knife and excellent photo pistonandgears.
Great line up there as well I-Man, lotsa cool colors on those handles.

Here's two I carried today. I like pictures taken in fall.

Thank you IvoryMan.. This is a wonderful site that you all have built here.

I have to say, that is quite the beautiful line up of wharncliffe-s you have built as well. That 3rd one down in (green bone?) is a stunner!
One month ago I thought "Wharncliffe" was the guy that played bass for some reggae band.

I can't think of a better way to pass a few hours than to cruise the forum, and learn.


Thanks again...
Ken

SunKnife... BEAUTIFUL knives!

Thanks, it is "moss green" bone, and that's hilarious, I"m rolling in the isles. Guy who plays bass for a reggae band. Killing me.

Great looking knives from everyone. I always enjoy seeing what others are collecting or using.

Blue patina is like MOP, hard to catch in photos.

You did a good job of it. One of my Boker copperheads is developing a nice deep blue patina like that on the skinner blade. I love the way it looks, and it wasn't even forced (though it might have been laziness, as I am known to set the knife aside after chopping up an apple or banana and high-carbon steel doesn't need long to turn colors).

Thanks, yeah I like blue too. What do you cut that gives you blue? I cut up some red grapes last week with a 25 EZ open and stumbled onto the blue patina it leaves. Liked it so much I did it with this 14 too. Might use it on some others too. Makes it easier to pinch open too. Didn't expect that.

Nice Spiderco photo, Jtx.

Nice job of capturing that patina!

The Boker was used to cut Fuji apples, an orange or two, and I think even a large potato wedge the day I noticed the deeper blue on the blade. It's hard to say exactly what caused it but I suspect a combination of the acids and whatever chemical paste in the potato.

Oddly enough I can't get GEC's 1095 to go blue no matter what I use them to cut.

Good to know, thanks for the tips Bomba. I will try some orange and potato and see what they do. Love the blues. My GECs are turning blue with the red grape juice though, might try it if you like the blue. I heard pineapple would do it too, but didn't work on mine, only red grape so far and a little from a Honey Crisp apple.
Thanks Dinadan, appreciate it.

Here's a shot that I thought turned out better than a lot of the crappy pictures I shoot.

Yeah, I like it Phil!

Took this one yesterday

That's a great shot Philco. I think it turned out fine.

TripleF, that shot looks like a really peaceful setting. Outdoor knife photography is my favorite.
