Fiddleback Knife Photography (Your Best/Favorites)

Lake Tahoe today. I’m no pro but my brother, a painter, taught me the importance of focal points. This image appears to follow the gutenberg rule and z-pattern.

Here are 5 chosen without any particular photographic criteria except sentimentality. These ones give me the feels...

Five extemely handsome knives Tim the Wizard Tim the Wizard . I remember lusting after that Leuku in particular when it was first offered. Too slow of course...:(

Thanks for sharing the review of some of the best that passed through your collection. :thumbsup:

Sometimes I need to be reminded that we are doing some fine knife work here. Last weekend someone handed me an old one they'd been using. It was nice and worn. But, the plunge and grinds lined up and everything was still nice and tight with no gaps. And he had a wicked edge on it too. I was proud. This thread has that same feeling. Everything is OK, these are fine tools.

In the shop we get so caught up doing QC, because that is everyones job at every step. It focuses you on the negative. I've saved a bunch of these. I hope y'all don't mind me posting them sometimes. Please let me know if you do.
