You're correct to a degree, the mag holder is made by Rosen. However, the IWB holster is by Rusty Sherrick. I switched to his horsehide holsters awhile back. They are much more comfy then my Rosens.
The gun is a Les Baer Concept III. I had the frame hard chromed and Spegel grips.
Here's my newest knife. I bought it last night. Pre-Production Benchmade Elishewitz serial no. 0716/1000 Titanium. I know it's no Randall but I still like it!

Finally, a different kind of picture!
I like that spine of the bible picture best. It has depth and height and visual interest.
The second with the two pistols, aside from the fact that it mixes an H&K and a Glock (what company hath light with darkness?) is just another of what I have come to call "head shots." It reminds me of the photos that professional models, actors, etc. sometimes submit: a simple picture of the head taken straight on.
The headshot is one step up from what I call "knife mug shots," the very simple straight-on picture of the knife laying flat on a simple background.
Mug shots are used for technical photographs of people. Authorities, employeers, etc., us them for identification purposes. Doctor's use them for documentation. And that's good for those purposes. But if you go to have a portrait taken, maybe for a special occation, a church directory, a Christmas card, wedding, whatever, a good photographer will strive to give you something more than a mug shot.
Knife mug shots are nice for technical documentation. If, for example, you have a collection of valuable knives, you should have good "mug shots" of every one for insurance and documentation purposes. (When you take these, put a ruler or something in the picture to get the size exactly documented).
Knife mug shots are nice for comparing technical features of various knives.
But, I, myself, find knife mug shots very tiring to look at. One after another after another.
But that bible picture is interesting. It has depth. The knife is in front of the book and then the top of the book continues off into the background. It has height. The book rises above the knife.
We live in a three-dimensional world. Why do our knives always seem to live in two?
