John, your work is simply exquisite. Everything I've ever seen from you looks totally functional and comfortable while exhibiting a superb aesthetic. I hope to be ordering a few from you sometime.

You make knives that cut AND look good. :thumbup:

BTW: I think you should consider setting up a light box to get the most out of your pics. You often have amazing handles, and I think getting something like this set up would really make em pop.

Russell, thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate the comments. I try to blend working knives with some nice flair and embellishment so that hunters and outdoorsmen can have using knives that look good too.

You're absolutely right about the light box. It's been on my list of things to do for a while and just keeps getting pushed to the back. I know next to nothing about photography and it shows.

Thanks for the link to the lightbox by the way. I think my pictures would improve a ton if I invested in that and a tripod.

From what I can see, it seems like you're succeeding :thumbup: I hope to experience your work first-hand sometime soon.

As for the lightbox and photos, really, you don't do too badly with your pics in general. But I think you can really bring it to another level with a lightbox, lights, and a tripod. The nice thing about the set-ups in that thread is that they're cheap and easy to put up.

Keep it up! :thumbup:
