Hammer Brand USA Jackmaster 1945-'55

Mike...that’s a sweet pic. ...you & Perry really like those colorful handles...can't blame ya,I do too.

Guilty as charged Johnnie! I...just...can't....seem...to help myself!
Perry and Joe Dirt have definitely given me the fever...
Here's another purty lil' fella...this one is a dwarf Jackmaster, seller described the scales as "duck feather"...showing a pic in the hand to show how tiny this little guy is...

That’s a nice one also... ....I have a small hammer brand about the same size but mines an E/O pattern.

Nice knives and pics fellas...
Tim

Gotta love those GEC's....very nice pic,Tim.

Thanks Johnnie, it was just laying there so...........

Tim

Knives and old rail sidings seem to work together for me; here are a couple.

it was just laying there so..........

...

OH...both of those pics are great...but I gotta say,the Buck really takes the prize..IMO.

Yeah, nice pics OH, that Buck shot is a dandy, looks kinda wicked, sort of like it could be a crime scend pic! And that Camillus is a real eye catcher, might just be the shot but it looks like it's got a real wide blade well on that knife! Very cool, I like the rail siding backgrounds, gives them sort of a hobo-esqe sort of feel...
Mike

That Camillus is a beaut. That photo brings the scalesalive.

i personally like the outdoor shots i use a large leaf as a backdrop with lines that draw the eye in and then POW theres the knife ! like this .... i also like when you guys put your guns in too

Gentlemen, thank you for the compliments - hardest thing for me in photographing a knife is to find a suitable background; the rail and ties have nicely weathered textures to contrast with the smooth lines of the knives. I get good idea's in this thread - the big leaf idea is a dandy.
Thanks, OH

PS Here are a couple of Fighting Rooster pictures from another siding (never use the main!) The weathered tie imparts less of the green in a different shade than the rusted steel background does (the rail makes for a brighter picture) - taken maybe a foot apart and only minutes apart.

i also like when you guys put your guns in too

So do I....I snagged a pic off AAPK from a member who had an old Remington Jack in the pic with an old Colt Cowboy gun ...that’s one of my favorite pics.
Wiseguy...I love the leaf background....really made your candy stripe pop right out...great pic.

Bruce you do a wonderful job...I like the way you put the same knife in 2 different settings. ...I like both..but that Rooster blends in well with that weathered wood.,awesome pic,Bro.

Very nice shots Old Hunter and wiseguy!!! Love that push button candy stripe one.

It's been a while......

I like the era of these items.....

Vintage Kutmaster Bird & Trout Knife and a Creek Chub Viper 8800.....both are from the 70's I'm guessing!

Nice knives everyone
Wiseguy that kabar is nice

This is today's new arrival; a USA made, standard issue Schrade Old Timer 8OT in great condition that I bought from Scott/Triple-F last Friday (pretty quick shipping too). As the day was heavy overcast and about to rain I had to pull my old board out into the yard to have enough light to shoot the picture - under the tree's behind my shed (were the board normally resides and I usually shoot pictures) was way too dark. OH

Scott, I like the use of other vintage items in a picture - your fishing lure works well with the fish knife. I tried adding props with these Case knives several months back, but I don't think I have acquired the art of the prop yet - still working on that phase. The only one that works for me is the mini-trapper and decanter, my other shots look "busy" and contrived to me. OH

They all look really good to me OH

Good job OH love that Case Copperhead and that 8ot is sweet

Went on another little stroll in the October woods today, only had two knives along, so pardon the repetition...
Mike

...Same stroll, this one is a '73 Case Peanut...
Mike

Great snaps, Mike. Here's on of my favorite spring assisted non-traditionals. A Camillus Heat 3.0.

AWESOME PICS!!!.....Fellas..those are GREAT!!
