Bowie grind with stag

G L Drew · Jul 4, 2006

Even though this is a hefty knife, it balances at the guard and fits nicely in the hand. The downward sweep of the handle gives a low center of gravity which naturally places the blade in a working position.

So many knives so little time! This one is great -as usual for your work. I'd take it but John Browning's Superposed has my attention at the moment

Very nice lines, and a good looking piece of work.

this is the best i've seen yet!! just as a suggestion, your knives would show up much nicer if you would use a grey, tan or white background. that color red destorts your knives and takes away from there true natual beauty.

Color balancing helps, but it's always better to use a neutral background.

I would just like to say that that is a wonderful looking knife. Priced right it seems, someone will be very happy! Paul

Thanks for the adjustment Ed. I thought that I would have to change my lighting ( halogen) to get the odd colors out.

Very nice! :thumbup: Does it have a butt cap? Is the guard nickel?

G L Drew · Jul 4, 2006

No butt cap; the guard is brass.

This knife is sold

G L Drew · Jul 11, 2006

My buyer changed his mind. This is up for sale again.

I have run out of accolades for your work. I think it's great stuff.

BTW, I like the lines of your sheaths so much that I asked a sheath-maker to make something similar for me.

Ed Meinel · Jul 12, 2006

So, do I get a price break for fixing your images?

G L Drew · Jul 12, 2006

Nice try Ed but sorry, I feel my knives are priced reasonably and have never given discounts to dealers or for multiple purchases. Although I have never had anyone touch up my photos before.

Thank you for the comments Hondo. It is a great compliment that you used my scabbards as a model for your design.

fishface5 · Jul 13, 2006

that is just great! Such clean, simple, classic lines. I have absolutely no use for it, so I hope someone else snaps it up before I succumb to temptation. She's so purhty . . . . . lookit that stag!!!

Ed Meinel · Jul 13, 2006

That's OK, I didn't expect a discount (but ya never know...).

Meanwhile, what are your camera settings and what light source are you using?

G L Drew · Jul 13, 2006

Ed:
I'm on my way to Wal-mart for some full spectrum lights to see if that helps. I have a PHD (Push Here Dummy) camera that takes great pictures. I really think that all I need is the right bulbs. More to follow and thanks for the advice.
