Dave Kelly - 'Mammoth Peacock'

[SharpByCoop]

Folks,

This one made an appearance a couple of months back. As stunning as it is, it deserves a return show engagement.

(Dave goes by the cryptic name 'Dakcon' on BF.)

Dave was kind enough to allow me to photograph this for him over the weekend, as I was set up in Vegas for a smaller show. Like it's brother who we are using for our upcoming 'passaround photo contest' knife, it has everything going for it, and it all works in symphony.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to you once again, "Dave Kelly's 'Mammoth Peacock' folder...!"

It was great to see you and other forum members in Vegas. I've read a few threads on why you should have a professional photograph your knives and now I know why first hand, it looks great!, thanks again.

Well, I don't know if I did it right but I attempted to change my user name from my company name Dakcon to Dave Kelly but so far it looks like all I did was purchase a knife maker subscription, have to wait and see.

Thank you very much misque.

Dave
