Just as the title says - knife porn! I've accumulated quite a few fixed blades in over the last 12 months. Today I got bored and decided to photograph them - it's actually much harder than I thought it would be. I need more props.... and more knives! (5 in the post!)

Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

Love the Barkies (F1 too). None of mine are nearly as beautiful but, just as your's do, they get the job done. I grew up in Michigan and have a fondness for their work.
 
Really nice collection man. And the photos aren't half bad either. I've been using an F1 exclusively for a couple of years now but I'm quickly becoming a huge Bark River fan myself. I only have a Gunny for now, but have been wanting to try out an Aurora for some time. Can't wait till they are released in CPM3V. Really dig the Liten Bror aswell, but I'm afraid the handle may be too small for my liking. I'm going to add another Gunny to my collection when they are released. Rampless with some type of burl wood. My buddy wants to buy my micarta Gunny after I pick up a new one. Hope to use that money towards the Aurora.
 
Beautiful knives and beautiful photos. More knife art.

Would you mind posting a key to the photos? I recognize many, but not all of the Barkies in this fine collection.

Thanks for putting these up.
 
Very nice collection you have going. The mini Fox River in DIB is top shelf. Very tasty stuff.
 
Great photos and aweome knives. That's the best looking Campanion I've ever seen. Some very nice handle material on those Barkies.
 
Very nice work! In the fourth picture from the top: I think all bookmarks should be just like that :D Very nice collection of blades.
 
Nice collection of Barkies, and I never thought to use my Highland Special as a bookmark. One more trick up it's sleeve!
When shopping for a Barkie, it's hard to get a view of certain angles of a knife. You pics give more size context and look good doing it.
That is a very nice looking BK-2. Those Beckers are user knives, but I wouldn't want to scar up those handle scales, just beautiful. Did you do that work HandofCod?
 
Thanks guys!

foxx no I didn't make the customised BK2, it came up in forum sale, there is one other with Jarrah scales like mine that I know of. They were old left over blade stock from Camillus. The sheath was made by Moose from the BF becker sub forum.
 
Please, stop posting these pictures. It's not fair to me or my bank account. :D

Again, really nice knives and great photos. What type of camera set up are you using?

I figure I have to return the favour since I've been tortured into buying 20 something knives in the last 12 months. :D

I'm using a Canon 50D with a tripod and 17-55mm 2.8F lens. No flash sadly just the afternoon light through the windows. I also took a couple with a 50mm 1.4 Sigma to try some bokeh shots but I'd difficult getting the right framing without a zoom lens.
 
Kinda high class/ softcore, got anything dirty and nastier since you're sharing? :P

Nice pics and knives, they look great.
 
Sorry I'm yet to convince my girlfriend to let me your use her ample norks as a knife prop. but I'll be sure to let you (and everyone else) know once I crack that safe. In the meantime it's arty ones I'm afraid...

Here's some more I took this afternoon following some advice on a photography forum.
