Totally striking covers on your Trapper Squatch. Impossible to pass that one by.

Thank you gentlemen, all three of you! ::super_happy::

The trapper is a Frost (Japan) and I believe it's from the '80s. The handles are laminated like paka-wood but the layers are made of a synthetic material, possibly Delrin. or something similar.

Squach, the knives are a Case whittler and GEC half congress. The sign is on a local trail with signs like this telling where the next bus stops etc. are.

If you feel that the light of day is too bright, shoot in the shade. Depending on where you are shade might be in short supply. Sometimes when I'm shooting outdoors I stand so that my shadow falls across the knife so the light in the photo isn't too intense. It also helps keep the sun reflecting from the blade and bolsters ruining your shot.
Thanks for the tip! ::handshake:: I am going to try it on the next shots ::nod::

It's a slip joint folder Smitty. It is obviously a promotional item for Stihl but I don't know who made it. The tang stamp simply says INOX Solingen Germany. The scales are a very heavy dense plastic that is very hard. Snaps like a gator and it's wicked sharp. At 4 1/2" closed it's a good all purpose utility knife.

Doing some light brush clean up today and using my trusty old "chopper". When taking this picture a few javelina (sort of a desert pig) came up into the yard. You see one in the background right behind the blade.

That is an interesting chopper, GSP. Looks handy, well used and taken care of. Are javelinas short tempered critters? Well, I got a new (old) knife today and had to try out different backgrounds - a bobcat skull, an old book and a brass frog. The knife is a Cripple Creek Coffin Jack from SharpNShinyKnives here on AAPK.

I don't get creative with my photos so maybe this doesn't belong here. I just posted this pic on the BCCI forum so I figured I would post it here too. It's my entire Buck 700 series collection so far. I'm still missing the 709.
