Sorry Tim (well, not actually!), but I am really loving how this thing disappears in the pocket. It may well displace my peanut as the first choice when I can only tote one.

Not to offend your sensibilities too much further, but I hope to get at least two more shots tomorrow. One with it next to my yellow celluloid Schrade 708Y serpentine jack, and one looking down on the blades closed to show what a remarkable job was done to keep this two blade/one spring knife so thin (0.3125").

Here is a old beauty for ya. I need a better camera and better skills.

Wow, that is really lovely, Gino. For us new guys, what is it?

gino · Post by **gino** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 2:48 am

Thanks Doug, its a 1903-12 Crandall Cutlery teardrop.
My photo does not do it justice, its a really cool looking knife.

Many great shots of great knives. One thing about this thread, we are scrambling for new subjects to photograph all the time so a wide assortment of knives are displayed. The Crandall tear drop is beautiful, the Crack-a-Jack cotton samplers are impressive and the kissing dove tang stamp is something I've not seen before. TripleF, your Royal Brand scout photo is great. The way the far end goes out of focus a little, the paint starting to chip, the way the light catches it - it all adds up to something I like very much. Singin, your shot of the CASE XX shield has caught the essence of the knife. I'm partial to that type of shield to start with and it really pops out in your pic.
I just learned something this week. Sometimes I use a large piece of white foamboard held between me and the knife to block unwanted reflections. I happened to notice that it also reflects light back on the knife. I put the camera on a 10 second delay and, peeking around one side, adjusted the angle of the board to reflect back light on the blade etch. Here is one pic 'normal' and 2 with reflected light. All other variables are the same in all 3 pics, they were all "clarified" in PaintShop the same. Oh yeah, the knives are some 1st generation Bulldogs.

Nice classic Bulldog Rustle!

Rainy day today, so I'm not able to get out and take really good shots, but here are two on a piece of old firewood near our front door.

The first shows the remarkable craftsmanship that enables the two blade/one spring Wadsworth sleeveboard pen knife to be slightly over 1/4" thick.

The second shows the french ivory Wadsworth sleeveboard with the yellow Schrade serpentine jack.

I just love that Wadsworth's shield, its awesome, I would love to see that brought back and put on a newer knife like a GEC. ::envy::

Yeah yeah, great idea Gino! I emailed GEC last night about doin a new Wire Jack.

johnnierotten · Post by **johnnierotten** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 5:58 pm

Yep...I agree Fella's.

...I would like to see them put out a wire jack & a scout / utility pattern.

singin46 · Post by **singin46** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 6:18 pm

They're all about the history so I don't see why not.

johnnierotten · Post by **johnnierotten** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 6:32 pm
