Tuna Valley Picture Show

Post by Rookie »

I'm really liking these Tuna knives I've picked up recently. I thought I'd post a few pictures of them here, as I am trying to refine my photography skills, and Adobe Photoshop skills.

Anyone with nice quality photos of their Tuna Valley Cutlery knives, I'd love to see them.

Very nice, every one of them. But that 4 blade stockman takes the cake! Wow!

Very cool WLF, I always prefer the burnt stag over the amber stag. To my eye it is more attractive.

Nice day out today, the grass is mowed, the garden is watered. So I took this coke bottle out of it's tube and snapped some photos of it. These 2 turned out pretty nice.
