One of you clever fellows out there that are very good with a camera
would you see if you can capture the detail of texture on the new S90v
Military knive's scales? I have read that it's grippy, I have one on order
so I guess I'll know soon enough, but in the mean time, photos are always
a welcome site ;)

Thanks in advance,

Well, I'm neither clever nor good with a camera, but this may help. I realize the CF is from my BG-42 Military, but as far as I can tell, it is identical to the CF on my S90V Military. The top one is an old 440V/G-10 Millie.

photo removed - sorry

I'd always say you were clever ;) thanks for the image, was looking for one
that has the handles at an angle so you can see the texture by looking across,
kinda like at a 30 degree angle or so, it would require a fairly good macro shot to see

Yeah, I know. The problem I have right now is no lightbox and no sunlight. That is a bit of an old picture I already had. The other problems I keep getting are the "depth" of the carbon fiber tends to hide the texture of the surface and getting enough depth of field to show both the CF and G-10 for comparison. Maybe in the morning I'll have enough light to get a better shot.
 
maybe you can use these

Thanks that helps, I can see the texture there, I only had examples
of their smooth Carbon Fiber which was too slick, this will be nice :)

Very nice pics, knifenut!:thumbup: Was the hair in the second pic there on purpose for size comparison:D

Seriously, the last pic gives an awesome view of what my textured CF millies look like up close. Very nice.

Thanks, no didn't know the hair was there until I down loaded the pics. I thought about re-taking it but was too lazy.
 
I've been wondering, why do you guys use the
you don't have to put it twice.
 
Thanks all and Knifenut that is what I'm talkin' about :) seeing right down into the grit
looks like a nice texture!

and of course, it's always nice to see more photos too ;)

Nice shot Jill, stands right out!

Can the highly textured CF like on the Millie and Stretch II be polished down to look like the Caly III?
