"Rocket Scientist?"

The card he gave me said:

Tom Mayo
"Super genius"
(Pronounced Suuuuuuuuuuuuuper Genius)

Just like that coyote who chases the road runner

is it just my imagination or does that handle have more holes than usual?

Great looking knife, by the way. Gonna own one of those TNT folders someday...

thanks tom, i had it lighted properly, but the white card of yours absorbed most of the light...uhhh, yeah, that's it.
 
Nice kinfe Russ. You're moving right on up. Don't feel bad, my lighting sucks too.
 
thanks tex, really, that hawaiian card stock absorbs light, unlike normal mainland card stock!

A little note for you guys who like to take pictures.....the light MUST be muted....I was just at the Vegas Classic and all Jim Weyer had was a long wide strip of paper at a 45degree angle over the spot where he was shooting. That is basically what I use. Artist or drafting vellum (wide paper/fairly thin) on a frame that I can put where I want with Blue Photo Floods behind it. You can buy those CHEAP aluminum lamps with the clamps for handles at the hardware store for less that $10 to put the Photo Floods in and you are in business. I am no pro, but I learned all of this from Mr Fitsgerald who is a pro photographer in LA and used to take a lot of the pictures for Glenn Hornby before he passed away. Its really simple, but you do need a good camera and a good neutral spot to lay your knives on...and NO outside lite coming in to reflect off the knife!

(Russ, nice knife! I'm still waiting for those photos of the cat blinking...)

Tom,
You'all got some righteous holes there in those there knives, but there is a fine gentleman from the great state of Kaintuckee who was doing this many years ago:

If you're gonna copy, at least you copied from the master & you did learn your lessons well - those are some shweeet knives you have been making! And you have taken "holing" to a new level!

Bill
P.S. Michael, I took your great advice & cropped these down - Thanks again!
 
sweet carson, i have toyed with the idea of that model, just never see any for sale!
