Scott Cook Owyhee Hunter photos

[lunde]

Here are some quick-and-dirty snapshots of the set of four Scott Cook Owyhee Hunters that I got in trade last week.

First up, a Small one, with 3" BG-42 or S30V blade and Full Grip handles made of Ironwood:

Next is a Large one with 3.625" BG-42 or S30V blade (probably the former) and Full Grip handles made of Snakewood with BG-42 bolster:

The next one is another Large with a 3.625" Devin Thomas Black & White Spirograph Damascus blade and Shrunken handles made of Ironwood:

The last one is another Large with a 3.625" S30V blade and Full Grip handles made of Black Linen Micarta:

Below is a comparison photo of the last one with a Scott Cook Lochsa folder:

As with the Lochsa, the fit, finish, and overall quality of the Owyhee Hunters is top notch.

Wow is right!

What are you going to do with all those beautiful knives?

I own one of Scott's customs and a large Owyhee in full ironwood. I really like that large bolstered snakewood!

Nice web site Ken, you've got some mighty fine pics! I'm going to add your site to my favorites for future reference.

Ignoring the inherent beauty of the Damascus blade for a moment, I think that my favorite is also the Large one with bolster and Snakewood handles.

It's presently overloaded with Busse Combat knife photos.

I'm going to have to figure out how to get quality pics without a huge investment in photograghy equipment. Is it possible?

Sure. Technique always trumps equipment. Some equipment makes it easier to have better technique. Lighting and exposure are very important, and probably are the most important things. If you do everything else well, but don't do well at lighting and exposure, the results generally are not good. Any digital camera with Aperture Priority mode can be made to take great photos. I consider this to be a baseline feature, because it allows one to have greater control over depth-of-field.

A google search on Aperture Priority mode gave me plenty of info to study up on. This is good info, Thanks!
