Wosey, the J.A. Henckels looks like you could just reach right into the picture and grab the knife. Excellent.

Great pics as usual, Wosey. That Bauer pen is a jewel.

Thanks fellas for the kind comments re the pics.

Here's another picture idea that has some potential.
First try execution didn't quite have the proper
logistical support.
A few years have passed and I haven't acquired a
larger mirror w/o etching on the glass or planted
the appropriate flowers to hide the tripod legs to
allow a close-up. But it do have potential.
All started w/the basic question, 'how can I show
mark & pile sides in one shot?'

johnny twoshoes · Post by **johnny twoshoes** » Tue Sep 06, 2011 9:37 pm

Lots of trees.

I use natural light, so I use natural shade too.

Winchester/BGC Coughin' Coke Jack
Overcast early a.m. reduces glare pretty well.

Nice picture Wosey. I'm likin' that Coughin' Coke Jack. (You crack me up.) I wouldn't mind seeing more of that bad boy if you get the time.

very nice pics guys. i am so jealous of these, wish i could accomplish a fraction of what you guys do here..
scott, very nice contrast with that dams boker. looks like beauty and the beast. only this beast seems like it wants to lop off the head of that withered rose.

Sometimes due to weather conditions or need for shade
I use the screen door on front porch as perch for the knife.
Hide the screen with a brochure or catalog.
Not a very schmancy setup but what the camera don't show
usually cain't hurt ya.
Porch makes it easier to cheat, get away with midday shots
if bright blade reflections don't mess things up.
If blades real bright I may use cardboard or umbrella to block
the front yard reflections.
Anywho, here a few 'front porch' samples for your perusal.
62055

6225.5

GDOT 34OT

LB-1, should have shaded the blade, no idea why I didn't.
(good free help is hard to find)

Your ACES Wosey!!

nice pics there wosey, also nice setup setup description.
what is that gdot stochman, {looks like a stockman back}, with the dimpled diamond backsprings?

Chetr if I remember correctly at sometime in mid 70s
Schrade had a series for a few years with the theme Grand Dad's Old Timer.
Think it was two patterns a year for only two years?
Hopefully EA42 or Orvet can provide the accurate details.
This one is a 34OT, think the others were a 206 type barlow,
152 Sharpfinger and ?
Black sawcut delrin, brass bolsters and shield, milled backs,
GDOT on the tang plus blade art.
I need to reshoot it, first ones didn't come out very good.
But these do show more of the details. Hope this helps
