This is going to be a little picture heavy with three shots each of three knives I sent to Coop a couple of weeks ago. Dial-up beware.

I shot this one at home and posted it a couple weeks back. Coop does it a little bit better... 1084 with Steller's Sea Cow and black pearl damascus fittings.

Here's a small mosaic bowie with Sambar stag with damascus and bronze fittings.

I'm heading out in the morning for the ABS Fall Piney Woods Hammer-in and wanted to get these up before I left. Hope it wasn't too much.

Many thanks to Jim Cooper. He was great about getting these shot and returned to me even though his schedule was hectic. Always the pro!

Cheers,

Terry,

Three lovely knives, with great detailing and some killer Damascus.

Wish I could see you at the Hammer-In, but I'm caught up down here. See ya in Little Rock.

It's been a great day for knife porn!
That stag handled mother is a real beauty. Is that snakeskin damascus?
Herpetologically patterned steel?
 
Exceptional knives and exceptional images! :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Spectacular work Terry. The ivory on the hunter is really stunning, and that one is my favorite, although choosing a favorite is tough to do! Fantastic images as well Coop!
 
I've enjoyed seeing your recent work, the fittings looks amazing! I'm a big fan of the hunter. Nice work!
 
I've already chided Terry about including ME in his subject line. These knives, and Terry deserve EVERY bit of the attention in this thread. That said, I gratefully appreciate the nods. :)

Each and every TV knife I have photographed has been gratifying to hold and especially appealing to the eye. As close as you look, the better it gets.

Guys, there is always talk of speculating who the next best knife investment maker might be. Hint: I suggest you look NO further. ;)

That is a VERY impressive trio, to say the least. I keep coming back to check out the detail work on the guard of the big bowie. Just superb.

Super trio. I'm with Keith...really like the large bowie. Nice damascus on the other two. All three show superb work.

I had to know. From Wikipedia:

Steller's sea cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) is an extinct, large sirenian mammal formerly found near the Asiatic coast of the Bering Sea. It was discovered in the Commander Islands in 1741 by the German naturalist Georg Steller, who was traveling with the explorer Vitus Bering.

... By 1768, less than 30 years after it had been discovered, Steller's sea cow was extinct.

All exceptional knives. My favorite is the mosaic bowie with that great looking stag.
