I am speechless )))!
Can't even say which one is the best.
Jim- great work and lot of creativity. Thank you.
 
Wow Coop these excellent photos are both inspiring and intimidating. Truly works of art, have you ever considered putting them in book form?
 
I heard that Bill Mace Imel at present time is far from knifemaking for medical reason. But saw the picture of his beautiful knife here and now hope that it was all wrong.
Is it his new dagger, or one of the oldies, and just a new photo?
I did not see too many of his daggers lately and can't recall seeing this one before.
 
Dalex67: I think Billy Mace Imel is back in good health and making knives again. Good for all!

Jim: if you read back a few pages this has been a nagging topic. ;) I need to MAKE time. Possibly this winter.

Thank you all.

The NYCKS has actually been in NJ overlooking Manhattan for the past three years, and until the NYC knife laws get more lenient, it will remain (smartly) in Jersey City.

Susan and I worked this show and created an entire NYCKS display thread with the images.

Click to view this outstanding Show!

If that wasn't enough imagery for you, continue on down...

I ran busy in Oct and Nov right up to the show ^^^, and had finished a score of studio projects, many which haven't been shown.

I'd like to show them here, now. :D

Coop,

Haven't posted here since '09 but have always been here lapping up it's magnificence with every one of
the new photos.
You are THE standard that all image artisans are judged by.
Thank you.

Coop,
The photography is stunning! You have definitely elevated it to a high art. The knives...I'm speechless! I had no idea such works of art existed and I thank you for bringing them into this little corner of the world.
