I've purchased knives from many knifemakers that were unlike and far more attractive (to me) than anything on their website. Many times, I've seen a knife for sale on a forum that I really liked the looks of, it had sold, I pulled up their website, and there was nothing like it.
Recently, I posted about folder recommendations (I like the looks of the Cook Lochsa, Carson 16, Reeves Sebenza, and one of the Obenauf models). I received recommendations for another maker; but none of the knives on his website appeared similiar to any of the above so I didn't pursue it any further.
I assume it is due to expenses, time, or expertise; but why do some knifemakers (often of fine knives) have such marginal websites and why don't they post pics of more of their knives online so people could just scroll through their site and choose one like number 265?
