Love your illustrating your control of looks with exposure, Alan.q

Thanks Harvey. My thinking goes like this. I usually intentionally underexpose by 1/3 to 1/2 stop and then expose for the highlights that darkens and saturates the wooden covers. On the Mam I didn’t underexpose and then exposed centrally which gave a more neutral look. That way I got two different looks to the knives and the background.

This is my first and only Ironwood but the covers are stunning. What a gem

This knife is absolutely sensational

Still in my pocket, this is such a great knife with a blade to handle ratio. Osage Orange has such beautiful chatoyance. Lots of apples is the fastest way to patina.

This Koch & Rau pruner is most likely the oldest knife I have. It came with a misc lot from eBay completely rusted up and cruddy. It cleaned up great, save for the blade pitting. The wood covers still look awesome. Pretty sure it's ebony.

Y'all are killing me with those hawkbills/pruners...
Never had one, never experienced one

But it's got me curious

When I think of hawkbill knives I always had the old Klein tools buggers in my head. We had them around when I was a kid. They're just fine, don't get me wrong... But this old fella is a well built, really neat knife and I sure wouldn't hesitate to find him some similar friends.
