CarpScot's Knives

CarpScot · Mar 30, 2009

I have been trying to compile a catalog of my favorite knives. I'm still fairly new to the photography, so please bear with me. Here are some photos that I have taken recently. Most of these knives are users so any scratches/patinas were put there by me.

Dozier Whittler with green jigged bone scales.

Convexed Dozier K2 with Thuya burl scales.

Dozier DK-FH with green canvas micarta scales.

J.D. Barth unknown model. I'll ask him at the Montana Knifemakers Association show in Missoula this year.

Thanks for looking.

I think you did a great job with pix!! I LOVED looking at your wonderful selection of knives. I very much look forward to seeing more from you. THANK YOU for sharing!!

Not too shabby at all!

Haze · Mar 30, 2009

You have some nice knives there, I like that P. Patton EDC :thumbup:

CarpScot · Mar 30, 2009

Thanks all. In the future I will take pictures from different angles and be sure that I mix up the shooting locations a bit. I should also invest in a tripod.

T.K.C,
It is your picture thread that made me decide to start working on my own. I've spent a lot of time looking through it and am always impressed by the way you capture the knives so well.

Markksr,
Good to see you around these parts.

Haze,
Although the Patton is a departure from what I normally look for in a knife, it is one of my favorites. Phillip does excellent work.

Nice work! Is the Mule sheath the same one I saw last week, or did you make a new one over the weekend?

That Leatherman sheath looks sweet. I might just have to try my hand at making one (with a little help if you don't mind). :thumbup:

CarpScot · Mar 31, 2009

Yep it is the same one as last week. It just looks worse when properly lit.

For you and your awesome knives (especially those Doziers:thumbup

, I can come out of seclusion for a minute...

nice collection!
i saw the thread awhile back and forgot to comment. the dozier green canvas may be the most beautiful folder i have ever seen!! i won't one! green canvas is my favorite material for handles both gun and knife! would like to acquire one but it's hard for me to pay so much for a knife when i could get another gun.
maybe i'll hit the lottery. just kidding have never wasted my money on that crap!

Keith Montgomery · Apr 25, 2009

You have a varied and extremely nice collection.

CarpScot · Apr 25, 2009

Skimmerhorn,
Thanks. I was really apprehensive about spending that much on a folder because I mostly carry fixed blades. I have really grown to love the Dozier though, and it rarely leaves my side these days.

Keith,
That means a lot coming from you. It is much appreciated.

I spent a little time today taking some more pics of my knives. I tried to vary the angles a little bit more than last time, albeit with limited success.

First up are a couple different shots of the Crotts' I have already posted. I think that they capture the handle materials a little better.

Crotts #2 with Myrtlewood. It was the first custom made knife that I bought and remains what I measure everything else against.

Crotts #1 with Desert Ironwood. I asked Dan for a dark and dense burl on this knife. The scales ended up with just the character that I was looking for.

Spine shot of Crotts Models 1 & 2 together.

Another Patton. This one has black canvas micarta with red liners. Sorry for the rain drops in the pics.

This Snow and Nealley Hudson Bay Camp Axe was modified by Off The Map Outfitters. They did an excellent job on it. The head cuts much better than the other S&N's that I have used before and it will be a really nice addition to my kit.

That Desert Ironwood is really beautiful. So much depth to the burl pattern.

CarpScot · Apr 27, 2009

Graham Brothers Stubby Wharncliffe with green canvas micarta and red liners. Black leather pocket sheath.

Graham Brothers Wharncliffe with carbon fiber scales. black leather pocket sheath.

Dozier kit knife put together and shaped by forum member Big Mike. One of my favorites.

CarpScot · Apr 27, 2009

Four more Michael Morris knives. :thumbup:

Morris Pocket Filer with blue dymondwood. I had one in maroon micarta that was stolen by forumite Dectia.

This one stays with me.

Two Morris EDC's and one Nessmuk.
The black micarta/amboyna EDC is a gift for my father and the natural micarta a gift for my brother-in-law. The Nessmuk was a present from Dectia. Thanks man, it really means a lot.

I'm grateful than Dan was willing to use it on my knife. I find something new each time I look at it.
