I'm a real novice when it comes to SAKs, but I read that ISC knives were assembled by Schrade in their U.S. factory, from all-German-made parts. (Kind of like Shinola watches are assembled in Detroit out of all-Swiss-made parts, or Leatherman tools being assembled in Oregon out of parts from ?) I didn't realize Schrade had their own line of SAKs. :thumbup:
I like the star on the ISC knife.
I love Swiss Arnie!

NICE set up Carl:thumbup:

Love the power struggle! I don't carry my SAK and my Radio Jack on the same day, not enough room for two power lifters!

Schrade had the "Century" line, which was all Swiss-style knives. I have their version of the Camper, Climber, Tinker, and another one that I'm forgetting. They're about half the cost of a real SAK, and are almost at the same quality level. Almost.

Lol, that cracked me up
Orange farmer, but with a new leash.
Paul and Tom, I really admire the photos you guys post!! :thumbup::thumbup:
The focus is totally on the knives (and the knives are totally in focus - that's always the challenge for me when I take pics
).I also like how tight your close-ups are; how do you keep the whole knife in the frame when you're that close?
Also, the colors are always so vibrant, and Paul, I like those reflection things you've been doing lately.
Anyway, maybe the pics you guys take wouldn't be considered "artsy", but IMHO, they're fantastic knife shots!
PS: Paul, when you say, "Pioneer now Soldier", does that mean you removed the keyring?

ISC version of the Climber in my EDC pack...
That is a really nice knife, haven't seen one before

Gary, thank you first off in regards to the pictures...I have been in a reflective mood as of late
You are correct about the removal of the keyring...but don't let Ken know
@ Tom, great picture of a great knife and very nice lanyard:thumbup:

Thanks GT and Paul! GREAT photos today Paul, I like your reflection phase :thumbup:
GT I take all of my photos with an IPhone, and usually discard A BUNCH before I get one I like (read: in focus). For me some kind of good natural light helps a lot. You can clean them up a bit with an app, there are several good ones out there. I really admire the photos Primble, Smithhammer, Gevonovich, and others share on the Traditional forums. Someday I am going to invest in a proper camera and take a photography class, for now I spend my fun money on knives though .

Are the tools grey, or maybe black for this? Very nice :thumbup:
Farmer today, almost no snow left.
