Trying Imagestation.com and showing something cool

[John Hollister]

Hey guys, I'm exploring http://www.Imagestation.com and am trying thier image storage. So far looks cool.

Our own "Raye" (Suspect at large), being the talented individual he is, is pretty damn handy guy with a sewing machine as it turns out! He's mentioned making nylon products in Chat a few times, but I thought ya'll would like to see an example.

This is a case he made with eight large knife pockets:

As you can see, the flap is closed by the use of two snaps and he was even kind enough to add a Velcro tab of a "Usual Suspect" patch or other marking.

Inside you can see that each individual knife pocket has it's own clear window for easy identification of the knife (nice touch). There is also one large (appox 8x11 inch) pocket on the right side, with a securing snap . There are also two smaller pockets on the left that are perfect for cleaning cloths, reciepts, ect.

Had to add a shot of an ES1-M for Emerson content.

"Gundy", this shot is for you. (Everyone else, this is my handground Damascus Commander)

Thanks again Ray!

Great pics John!!

Nice work Raye!!!

 

[Emerson_Girl]

Raye can you email me regarding prices???
are there different sizes and what not???

John thanks for posting the pics!

 

[John Hollister]

Thank you guys. The pictures came out OK for a rush job, done on lunch at the range before the sun completely set.

Ray did an awesome job on the case, but due to the recent request to keep "commercial ventures" off BF.com, (the Emerson forum specifically), might I suggest that you email him. Not looking to get anyone in hot water, least of all me.

I think I'm likin' this Imagestation thing. As thier Sony, I don't think they'll go "nipples-up" like Photopoint.

John,

There's something missing from your very nicly done pouch. And, It's my fault... So let me apologize for the bare 'patch' of velcro. However, I did get off my butt and Raye should forwarding you the final touch.

no problem John

Nice work!!!! I will be contacting Raye for prices. Beats them bashing around in my desk drawer, bedside drawer, kitchen table, work desk, shed table, dogkennel, toilet (admit it people, admit it! They make great replacements for magazines!)...LOL

John, as far as the damascus commander goes, my offer has just jumped from 5 production emersons to 7.

Send me an email mate, cmon..........the boys said you would bite at that offer, but probably not in the way I would expect! hahaha...

By the way, enjoyed chat yesterday, thx...

[See2]

NICE, Ray!!! Email sent, brudda! John - when did you get a hand-ground damascuc commander??

 

[RAYE]

Very cool folks. Thank you for the kind words!

John:

I hope those beautiful knives find a home in that bag. It was made with love in my heart for a gesture of friendship delivered. Thanks again very much for the disc. You are truly a Usual Suspect.

John mentioned a knife bag that Raeric has. A while back, I called him and asked what his 'dream knifebag' would look like. Well after some time I decided to take on the challenge and I'll tell you folks, this bag is a knifebag


extrordinaire !!!

I am actually proud of having had the opportunity to work with Don on this projuect. I just hope he gets off his a$$ and post some pics for you guys.

For those of you who dropped me a line, mail sent.

Seth: I still need your info. Your bag awaits, brother!

 

[Emerson_Girl]

Another View. Thanks again Ray.

 

[John Hollister]

Gundy, sorry man, gotta pass. I still owe you one picture.

Chris, I got it about a year and a half ago. It's one of the Pre Production Prototypes Ernie made for the C/P line. He told me he handground four DT High Contrast Ladder Damascus Commander blades and fitted them to production bodies. This is not to be confused with the other Damascus Commander, which is the one he forged in Japan.

This one quickly became a treasured piece in my collection.If you come to Blade this year, I have it to show ya'

Ray and Seth, thanks again!!!

As I said before, can't wait for the Rearic bag info.

 

[RAYE]

Thanks BRP (Bob)!

 

[Chip]

Bob, If you ever have to empty one of those slots for
something. I'll gladly buy your Commander GT!!
Nice collections!!
