Wow, have I ever been away from my regular posting habits if I've gone this long without adding anything. I love all of the pics shown thus far- the best part of the giveaway threads is that we all win if they are like this. Thank you for the chance Duncan.
Here are my favorite shots I've taken (I won't call them photographs as I'm nowhere near a photographer, most were taken on my iPhone). Hope somebody enjoys!
A couple of John Lloyd knives
(I lost the wharncliffe outside after opening the package the same day I got it- my wife searched the field for it the next day and this was the first pic I took after I got it back- slight outdoors connection
At a friends house in central British Columbia, a little of everything with the clipped folder, the necker I made for my wedding (traditional for the men in my family to carry a FB at their wedding so I made my own while recovering from broken legs), the Traditional SAK, the Dog and hiking staff. It was a great day with the family that I had to record in knife form.
A bit of a nessmuk hunting combo- Double bit axe, Case Damascus Stockman, Fiddleback Nessmuk, my necker again, and a lever action 30-30.
Another Pseudo Nessmuk trio, this time with a Queen Canoe, Nessmuk axe and Spyderco Wharncliffe Centofante4.
Finally, the pic that Blade magazine printed of me with my "prior to Bladeforums" outdoor blades- except for the cold steel blades pretty traditional fixed blades- a Bruseletto Puuko, a Grohman classic Canadian shaped knife by Frosts of all people, a Schrade Skinner, and my favorite axe of all time, my little baby hewing axe. This pic was taken during our last camping trip in our families lake lot just after my mom sold it.
Sorry I don't have many exclusively Traditional pictures- I get out so little these days that any chance I do gets split between a few different types of cutlery carry. But I find it traditional to try and find out what works best for the individual through trial and error so I'm still being traditional, right
Thanks for all of the great photographs!
