Are there any websites which provide pictures and commentary as this show progresses? Or, do we have to wait for someone to write a report a bit later?

The heft of stainless probably works to its disadvantage but, for some reason I often prefer the metal handle, with Ti probably being the ideal metal handle due to its lighter weight. The SS Spydies often seem a tad bit more refined to operate and handle, and even to admire. And, with metal I have ...

Great job with the photos. And the knife, well it speaks for itself. Mighty nice.

Thanks for posting these pics. I never tire of looking at Spydie pictures.

What great looking knives, and what a great group of people.

Congrats on that Kris. My experiences and thoughts with this knife closely parallel yours - as well as my opinion of the "R2" and "Stretch" which are simply great knives for EDC. The "Stretch" sets a benchmark for operating ease.

A little "Prolink", "Rock & Roll", or other good quality bicycle ...

Well done d.g.g. Its a beautiful knife. I don't think a day goes by that I don't pick up mine to handle and operate whether I am carrying it that day or not. There is just a simplistic ease about handling it that seems to elude so many others.

Enjoy that knife, you deserve it.

One more for the next update.

You can add mine on the next update.

My vote.....What rcbalt2 said.

Indeed, that's a fine and healthy collection you have amassed. Not a bad one in the bunch. Very, very nice. Those customs you have look stunning too.

Well done navman. That Manix is a fine knife.

I have one and, its a great little knife - a nice ergonomic feel - super sharp blade, etc., however I prefer the fit, feel and function of the larger Spydies (most of them anyway). Just a matter of preference. One thing I like about most all Spydercos though, is that they exude character and ...

Thanks for the link and, its a nice overview of the Glesser history.

Great pictures and, that Apple coral is down right eye catching. Rich organic color. Both those knives look excellent.

The lamps are standard spiral fluorescent (26W). I would assume they are readily available at any building supply house. Here is the link to the description. You might want to think about building one. It doesn't look difficult. A simple frame of some type, a couple fluorescent lamps, a white sheet ...

Picking up a bit of shadow is a good idea and, thanks for the advice. Here is a picture of the light box. The kit comes with a couple drapes which clip on inside the box when needed. I also put a wooden brief case inside. I will try this box with, and without lights tomorrow. They had larger sizes ...

thought I would post a few practice shots. Balancing the light for different composures takes some patience. Its been fun tho. I am using a Sony DSC-P200 point & shoot but, now wish I had a DSLR to gain more versatility and control.

I thought I would post a practice shot.

Now will someone tell me why, when I load multiple photos, that it balloons the photos requiring one to scroll to see the entire picture. When I only post one photo, as I am doing now, it nicely fills the screen without over filling. Should I cut the file ...

I thought I would post a few of my practice shots. I am using a Sony DSC-P200 point and shoot camera. I wish I had purchased a DSLR to get more control and macro versatility. Maybe there will be one in the future. Adjusting the lights for even balance with different composure takes some patience ...
