A lot of great pictures from that show! I'm really annoyed after all this time that I could not attend it myself and get some of these pictures for my personal gallery. I was wondering though how I could turn some back and white photos of mine recently with some great knifes from the 60s in to color. One of the easiest apps I found to use for black and white to color was imagecolorizer. I loved the little filter tweaks it had when choosing the brightness. Definitely worth the attention. I might start playing with some old family photos next.

I'm not usually wild about Damascus, I think the Pakistanis ruined it for me, but that is some sweet Damascus. ::tu:: ::tu::

Finally got an Amber Stag Phoenix Jack...been waiting (impatiently) for this model to be released and as soon as I saw this one I grabbed it without a second of hesitation. Really love this pattern. :D Now, if I can be as lucky and score a Mammoth Ivory PJ as soon as they're released, I might very well consider my knife collection complete once and for all. ::nod:: ::skeptic::

Here is a rare one I haven't shown before in this thread. Just took these photos today. Rare 1906 Tuna Valley, made in Germany, and sold by Case here in the US.

Thanks Q. I only got the Timekeeper one about a month ago. I'd been on the hunt for that one for a while.

Ryan is doing very good. Very busy. He's hoping there are more knife shows next year and he can get out to see people.

Him and me, both! I always stop by to chat with him at the Shenandoah Valley show, it's a fun time.
