What's the name of this knife? Never seen it before, looks nice!

 

[baldtaco-II]

It's a little Moki but I can't remember the model. They mostly do handmade / pretty stuff but that little ugly one is a real workhorse. If you're not interested in massive amounts of strength in a folder they're great. It's an FRN frame with rubber inserts so no weight penalty. The blade has a pleasing taper too. It's one of the only hollow ground blades I use. It is ground to the full height and presents a very nice edge for critters. I think they're outstanding value.

John,

Definately different than your usual pics but just as beautiful!:thumbup: What type of camera do you use?

 

[raylaconico]

lambertiana, I was just going to ask you about those pictures then I see them here. Very nice! I want to go to back too. Good thing you guys didn't stay in the big cities. I hear they're very hot and crowded. Post more pics!

11x11x, Those look like bamboo.

just a coupe from me i haven't posted on here in a while, so long in fact i had to make a new account couldn't remember my old one

Those are bamboo - some of it was 50' tall and 8-10" diameter at the base.

I have been using an Olympus SP-350 camera, but I will be replacing it soon. On this trip, the battery voltage sensor was malfunctioning and it kept telling me the battery was dead (and wouldn't work) even with brand new batteries.

I didn't care for Manila - very crowded and western, a completely different atmosphere from the rest of the country. My wife is from Dagupan, about 120 miles north of Manila, and we stayed there. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The people in the provinces are extraordinarily friendly, the food is great, good scenery, what's not to like?

Hundred Islands (we hired two of those boats to carry around 20 people for half a day, and it cost us a grand total of $50, including a crew of two for each boat)

And to show that filipinos know the right way to celebrate New Year's, here is what we bought. Let's just say that buildings shake when you light these:
