I thought I'd try to take a more updated photo of the Daggert picture I had before so I took this picture a few days ago. What do you guys think?

And this is the old one

It shows better contrast between the different colors of the knife, the angle is better, and the image is sharper and larger. (am I right? just a guess)
 
I like that you have other tools/accessories along the edge of the photo. Doesn't distract the eye from the centerpiece but does improve the photo.

Off topic, I wish SOG would not inscribe "Daggert" on the knife. Seems cheesy to me.
 
Thanks everyone!

Yeah knivesandguns is correct, plus I added a few more props and spread them out a little so it didn't feel as cramped and used a white background. I've been taking a lot of pictures of my knives lately so I wondering how I was doing. If I ask my friends, they start talking about the knife instead of commenting on the photo :grumpy:
 
Top one is better IMHO. And I concur "daggert 2" is insanely cheesey and the all lower case doesn't help in the least. Oh well, at least it helps keep the coating guys in business.
 
Yup yup, insanely cheesy. I'll take it off you to avoid the grief :)

Nice pic man, shweet looking knife. Quality pic like some pics in the net. How do you like it? By the way, can you let me know 1) how much was it, 2) how thick is it, 3) how long is it? and lastly 4) what steel is it?

PS: How does it handle?
 
I didn't realise so many people thought it looked cheesy with the words on the blade. I actually thought it looked more modernised with the lower casing.

I love it :) It was $93 not including shipping. The blade length is 6.6", total length 11.85", steel is AUS8. I can take pics of it compared with a Seal 2000, Sealpup Elite or Pentagon if you have any those. That way, you can get an idea of the size, thickness etc

It handles pretty well, weighted well. Feels quite secure in the hands with the kraton grip.
 
I think it'd look better if it was written on the tang horizontally as well. Maybe some styling like a stencil or something else "military" would do better.
 
Now that I think about it, I think you guys have a point. A military type style does sound better
 
My guess is that the current script is supposed to resemble a school teacher writing the same thing on a black chalkboard. In real life it will wash off in blood.
