Well, now that Nick seems to have (somewhat) escaped from Internet Hell, I guess it's time to post a new image of this Integral fighter - ladder pattern blade, Curly Koa handle
I was fortunate enough to spend some time with Coop recently ( although I wasn't able to make it the same day as Peter, sadly) and I am once again very impressed by what it takes to make an image like this !
As we all know, there is nothing like holding a knife like this in your hands to appreciate the Damascus pattern, handle shape and material and the balance of the knife. Trying to capture even a portion of that on camera requires alot of WORK!
Lighting, composition, background.....well, it looks easy in the final print, huh ?
Kudos to Nick on this spectacular piece, which is just unbelievable light and fast in the hand...and to Coop for capturing it like this :thumbup::thumbup:

Oh, I will try to get the correct link to a bigger image
