Born of Fire,

I don't know how you captured so many excellently lit grind lines, both top and bottomm in your pics!!!

I struggle to get one blade with good lighting!

The lighting on the F-16 is ridiculously awesome!

I am gobsmacked!

Jaxx,

Around the shop, we frequently refer to your Busse knife collection as Jaxx's "Coolection"

Hey Jerry,

Just had a bit of a flashback to my youth and being in high-school photo class. You may want to invest in a quality handheld light meter... assuming you have a camera with adjustable f-stop settings. I have never taken knife pics that seriously but if your concern is the best detail of the blade grinds, etc then your best bet would be to use the light meter to read the light off the blade itself (the cameras meter will almost guarantee you don't get the best exposure). Then you'd simply choose whatever setting it recommends and plug into your camera settings. If you don't do this then you will likely struggle to get the exposure you want no matter what you may try and have to accept mediocrity in the end.

How to use a light meter for photography (and why not to trust the camera meter!)

Here's how to use a light meter to get perfect exposures every time – and why your camera meter is lying to you!

If you've ever wondered why some of your pictures look like they were taken with a hundred year old camera, here's the most likely reason why... your modern camera exposes your photos using the same flawed method that's been in use since the 1930's!

Thanks for the info my friend!

Not sure I'm smart enough to do it, but I'll have someone give it a try.

Thanks again!

Fingers crossed!
