Thank You Very Much GPyro, My father was a Photographer with 35mm B&W. He would just be so happy with digital photography. We had a darkroom in the basement and he would develop the film there. As a youngster I would go in there with him and he had a special light so as not to expose the film. He also had an enlarger to blow up pictures. I miss the Father/ Son connection that we bonded over. He taught me much about lighting. I believe the knowledge stuck with me. Thank You Dad!

My grandfather was a photographer.
I have his old Ansco Agfa camera from the 1920's on the tripod set up in my bar with one of the original portrait chairs he used from that era. One of the old bellows units, all wood and brass. It's pretty.
I learned to take pictures as a kid on an old Bosley B2 and had to use a light meter and hand set everything.

Now just a phone.
I'm no pro, but have an appreciation for those that have the skills to take a good picture.

The Club 301 in BG-42 is by far my favorite 300 series Buck ! The Forum 301 I only had for a few weeks before gifting it to my Brother and I really didn't have time to fully appreciate it. I think the best thing about the 301 is the ability to have different blade profiles for different tasks and to have a razor sharp edge ready to go when you need it. 20181212_131459.jpg
 
I have these two BF Elks. I love the variety of elk on all the 2018 BF 301’s. There is so much variety but I honestly don’t know if I’ve seen a bad one.99E5AA6D-3A9F-4E8A-9585-625506EFF523.jpeg
My little 309. I just really really like this little knife.68ED7B95-F1EB-49D5-B08C-4C91F03A5A73.jpeg

I’ll show two pictures just because I like it.😁871C89F5-8ACB-4851-9CE4-7C718C579955.jpeg

Two of my favorite things: Buck Auto Ranger and a Stetson Royal Deluxe St. Regis homburg, probably from the 1940s, maybe 1950s.
A lot of men say they don't feel comfortable wearing a hat but I figure the neighbors aren't thinking about me when they get dressed so what do I care?

Nice knife and hat. I have always worn hats. Inherited the love of hats from my granddaddy. Some hats do not work for me and this would be one of those but other Stetson hats do work. I like your approach to my it. If the hat works for you, go for it
 
Thank you.
I always loved the style of these old guys, a lot of work went into making them. Like you, my grandfather was probably where I got the hats from - he always wore one. He's also the one who gave me my first pocket knife.
Back to the knives.
 
My 2 Forum 301's, a real bargain for the price. 2018 Custom for Blade Forum with 2 blades instead of 3 and Elk handles. The Sheepsfoot blade is set too high on one. I keep thinking about sending it in to be corrected. I ran a file across the heel of the blade and it just skated. Does anyone recall if the total number of these issued was announced?
