Just learning how to use my new camera. What do you think?

Not bad for a first day with the camera.
I really like all of the lines as well as carving. To me it has a funky flow all the way through it that works.

Me likes very much.

Sure are a lot of curves in there. You been hanging around with Tom gazing at the waves again? :D
 
I love all those interesting curves Ken. I don't normally like Big bolsters, but the carved curves on the bolster seem to balance those on the blade. It looks like it would fit great in the hand. Nice work!

Gus, if he was hanging out with Mayo, why does that knife seem so Whole and complete?

Para ;)
 
Ken, I think I can just make you out in the reflection from that pin. You are much more fetching than Mayo said you were.

Nice camera work. Who did that knife for you? ;)
 
A wonderful knife Ken. You make all those curves work out beautifully. So, can we get you to tell us about the knife. I like the picture, but I also like to know all the particulars of the knife as well.
 
Very sinuous! Looks aerodynamically efficient.

Keep Mayo and his drill press far away from that one.
 
That pin is nice an shiney...howd you do that??
And just WHAT is that stuff on the handle??? :p
 
Looks like you've spliced the genes of a sea turtle with those of a Kimodo Dragon! Definitely something from the reptile house!
 
Great looking knife Ken! You keep outdoing yourself. How about some info on the knife? To think the Boa used to be my favorite! ;)
 
Thanks,glad you like it , the blade is Mike Norris stainless terraced ladder pattern with a 440-v core, the bolsters are Mike Norris stainless snake skin damascus,handles are bark Mastadon Ivory.Liners are anodized.080 titanium ,it has speed safe,blade length is 3 3/8,closed 4 1/2" and yes I did the unmentionable ,I put a pocket clip on it,why? cause it's my church knife and I carry it arround and use it.
Anything you think I should have done different?
 
Nice work, Ken! (What else is new?) :D I like the transition between the bolster and the scale - the curves work really well, too. Great job!!

Me too! I like the sculpted contours. Really nice.

I hope that the clip is matching stainless damascus...?
 
Great looking knife! I particularly like the shape of the blade. Don't recall seeing a blade with a recurve on the spine before. It results in a recurve with a very useful looking point, which some of them simply don't have. I like it very much! The great damascus is icing on the cake.
 
A very nice Sunday-go-to-meeting knife indeed! Good picture too, I hope you keep the camera busy.
 
Ken,

I think this knife would look much better if it was configured left handed and lived in my pocket. ;)

The lines are curvy swurvy like you always do. I particularly like the sculpting on the bolster when it joins the scale material. Looks like a David Broadwell influence :p

So when is Jeff gonna have this up on the webpage!?
