Recycled pic from January but I did have this one on me today as I spent most of my day in the snowy woods until dark. Lon Humphrey made, Brute de Forge. View attachment 1711360

Great Lon Humphrey! I still remember doing the Junior Olympic Archery Development with my daughter, great times but you are really into it with the birch bark quiver and those handmade arrows.

Great photo......... and I love the butterscotch tele!

Kind of a dreary day here in New England. Love the character this knife has.

I love the character also, very nice!

This knife roll was as gift from from my daughter as was the sod buster.

Your Gunboat is an interesting piece of cutlery history, 6000 must have been a huge order for that firm then

Couple of beauties there Steve

Thanks, Jack. I think the idea is based on the process "graphics designers" use, but I'm trying to do it without investing in fancy image-processing software (such as Photoshop, maybe?). Anyway, the theory is sound, but I've discovered that actually cleanly stripping an existing knife photo of its background is very challenging, tedious, and time-consuming. The background stripping is a little easier if the original photo is just a plain, single color (perhaps taking a photo of the knife setting on a sheet of colored paper), but even then, the knife usually casts a shadow that's hard to strip away without also taking little chunks of the knife itself. (My hand is not extremely steady in trying to use a trackpad to draw a smooth outline around the knife and nothing else.)

I used to spend a lot of time using Photoshop, but I remember when text and photos used to have to be cut out and pasted for publication, and where pics often had to be trimmed by hand. I once rang my editor, and he said, "Hi Jack, I've just spent 10 minutes cutting round your head!"

Those two look great Taylor

GEC did an outstanding job with their solid and stout 44 Gunstock; a tasty partner to your Hartshead, along with those bagels!

Thank you very much JJ, I always enjoy carrying the 44

I'm having a Schrade Day today.

A stunning pair of Schrades my friend, and they look superb together

I'm still the thankful one

This knife roll was as gift from from my daughter as was the sod buster.

Hope everyone is easing into the New Year Got my regular Hartshead Barlow with me, and a Joseph Westby Ruler Knife

Had to run my wife's car up to the tire store to get a state inspection, grabbed a penknife off the tray on my dresser. Snappy little Case 63027 Delrin. OH
