Hi folks,

I have been absent from a lot of posting on the forums, mostly because I have been so busy. It's an enviable position, to be sure. :thumbup:

I have had a TON of dealer's work come and go, and in between I've shot a number of quality pieces for makers & collectors.

Let's take a look at what's been going on... (All images will click for even larger views)

I simply LOVE Kevin Casey's work. In this series he has incorporated the ancient French Lascaux cave paintings as scrimshaw.


Here is his traditional folder with meteorite bolsters.


Custom Art knives are exemplified with extremes. Jeffrey Cornwell from Alaska takes his visions to the ends! I applaud his out-of-the-box boldness.




One of my VERY favorite makers is George Dailey. He liked this one enough to want it shot. I agree!


I am really enjoying the success and visions of CJ Cai, the engraver. (His work has a lot of variety and balance. I am anticipating having him work with me in the future on a simple pocket folder. News when I do.) Joe Kious' autos are a world standard. Here's a lovely Beauty and the Beast....


In a departure from his distinct and precise shapes, John Young blew the doors out with his oosik artifact fighter. WOW!


Lastly, My good buddies, Tom Overeynder and Joe Mason took top honors at the KMG Show with this multiple award winner. With an OAL of 10" it's NOT small, and it exudes authority.


I hope you enjoyed my virtual knife show, and have a nice comment or two about all of them! Kumbaya!

Wow. Nice photos. I really like that George Dailey folder. I have been admiring his work whenever I have a chance to see it.
 
Amazing and beautiful,as always,Coop.
The oosik artifact on the striking Young fighter is the first I've seen.

Thanks Coop for sharing these. The Kevin Casey meteorite and feather damascus folder and John Young "Artifact Fighter" really stand out to me.

The Jeffery Cornwell pieces are very interesting art works.

Nice to see these "out of the ordinary" pieces.
 
Always love to see your work, Coop. You do the knives justice. I like that John Young too.
 
the meteorite is sweet!
You are a hell of a good knife photographer man!:)
 
Coop:Some of those are really cool, and other are VERY unique! The creativity, and craftmanship on ALL are incredible.
 
FANTASTIC, as usual.
Great photos ,great knives.

I was very surprised to see that kind of knife from my friend J.Young.
awsome.

Awesome, Coop! You have a knack for bringing these fine custom knives ALIVE. Thanks for sharing them with us.
 
Most excellent Coop - many thanks. I really dig it when a maker like Young excercises some creative muscle to give us a piece outside the expected. LOVE that artifact fighter.

Thanks, guys. I am working on another J. Young today, and three other knives from two different makers. Busy Mr. Busy. ;)

Thanks for posting the pictures Jim. The Overeynder-Mason I got a chance to see at the Guild Show as well as the John Young Bowie. All of the images are fantastic.
