knives can live in our heads as much, as they live in 'the real world'.
Which is why I'm happy to be a 'virtual' collector, (I collect pictures of knives:))
Good choice sending this one to Coop, Bob. You'd be gnashing your teeth and pulling your hair if you sold it instead, I'll bet!
 
David - Will definitely be at AKI I this year.

Lorien - I have always considered that the value of pro imaging (read that "Coop imaging") was in dollar value. The better the image, the better the price - if you are going to sell a knife. And the increase in value is definitely beyond the cost of imaging.

But no way can you put a dollar value on what it was that made me decide to keep this knife, once I saw how magnificently Coop had captured it.
 
There's a real psychology behind this. I am only observing.

In the Movies/TV/Advertising we form opinions and get an emotional attachment to a character or actor. The part they play means something to us, and gave us pleasure or interest while viewing. That's real.

If we happen to meet the actor out of character, they are 99% of the time a regular and enjoyable person, but they don't convey that connection that we had in their visual work. Nor should they.

Handling a knife bare on a table or in a padded case is like meeting the actor on the street. It's insightful, but lacks the impact of the visual presentation. (Yes, we all know handling a knife reveals more information, but that's a different direction than I am referring to.)

We enjoy this 'object' in part because of the visions it imparts. That's where a great image becomes part of our reality.

Am I close?

Coop, I think what you've just brought up is worthy of its very own thread.
The glowing heart of desire...
 
You guys are starting to sound like the only reason to own a custom knife is to get an image of it. :confused: ;) :p :D
