What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

Hung an old shirt over my dining room lamp and it cuts glare nicely from knife photos. So here are three knife photos with glare cut nicely from them by an old shirt hanging over my dining room lamp.

Really beautiful work as always sir. Looks great with the old shirt lighting!

I might need one of those daggers if you find yourself doing another run

 

[Danny Linguini]

That’s nice. Next time, try a dirty old shirt, you know, for that artsy shadowy effect.

Or a shirt of many colors . Really though those look good

Funny you should say that. I tried earlier with a cleaner (looking) newer white shirt and because the light is cool white it was just a little too… sterile? For my liking. So I switched to an old white shirt that had been worn as an undershirt and washed many times. Let’s just say it is a formerly white shirt! And it gave a better effect at least to my eye.

Great minds think alike!

I really like the tip on the dagger. That should pierce Medieval Armor very well.

My thoughts exactly! ⚔

Had a hard time deciding what to start but I decided I haven’t made enough skinners.

That looks like a Big Rhino

 

[David Mary]

I'm glad your degree wasn't in zoology. That is a knife my friend.

 

[David Mary]

Not in the face!

 

[David Mary]

I know you are referring to Red Rhino forgive me forgive me, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't like you.

Okay, all is forgiven then. Red Rhino 3rd from top. But Mr Noodles is now Beer Belly again...



And 4th from top (below pic)



I NEED A NEW FAMILY PHOTO, to include the Boomerang, trout Midirang, EO Zoomerang, 8670 Tanto, Pranto, K-tip Kitchen knife, and Itty Bitty Bitey Baby Birdie Gen 2...

The Skinner really does look like Red Rhino. I'm giving it red palm scales. But maybe I'll give it the same texture....

Why do I have 16 David Mary Knives now?

[BlindMouse2of3]

Because they are awesome

 

[David Mary]

You spelled adequate wrong.

 

[David Mary]

I make 'em so that I will like 'em and want to keep 'em. So go figure you want to take away my toys. That's why.

David I'm not just thankful for the blades I use daily but for the friendship and conversation on and offline.

Have a blessed day everyone
