My own Spyderco ad

[ThinkOfTheChildren]

I received a good response from scanning and posting the old Spyderco ads and I really enjoy taking photos of my knives. I slapped this together with Photoshop. Let me know what you think. It aint great but I think it's pretty good.

Very nice man. I really like the perrin bowie.

TOTC,

If I was with Spyderco, I'd hire you in a second to do promos for me. That is fabulous!

Cheers, Jeff.

Hey ThinkOfTheChildren :

I LOVE IT! Only I got 2 "banner ads" with it and tossed off the forum ( strange! )How
about this for an improvement? :

Your Family : C41 "Native"

Your Community : C45 "Rescue"

Your COUNTRY : C36 "Military" <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
( too predictible? )

[ThinkOfTheChildren]

Thanks for the compliments, fellas! Coming from this gang, it means alot.

ATE,
I could redo it with separate knives, but part of the pitch is the versatility of the Perrin. Today I used mine for gardening duty, yesterday for IWB carry while walking at night, and the day before that for some kitchen work <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Oh, and I'm sorry for the banner ads. That's the price of free web-hosting from tripod.

Excellent work, TOTC! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> By the way, I was checking out your site the other day, and I believe I have a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> ad that you don't. Have you seen the Centofante ad that <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> ran in Blade back in 2000? If not, I'll hunt down the month & page so you can add it in.

It's an odd little ad, comparing the purchase of <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> to a good car. If I remember correctly, the tagline was "A work of art you don't have to garage!"

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Ok, I was on BF earlier, and thinkinf that TOTC's avatars are really entertaining, and have been for some time. I think that ad looks incredible, but do you have all of that stuff in your house? I really enjoy your collection, and if I worked at Spyderco, I would do something good for you..

totally AWESOME effort dude! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Keep up the good work! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

<b>Sword and Shield,</b>
All of the ads I have on my site are from the Spyderco Story. I don't really have too many back issues of Blade sitting around but if you could send me a scan of the ad I would gladly put it on my site. Sounds like a cool ad!

<b>Dijos,</b>
Thanks! Now that you mention it, with all the avatars I've been through on the various forums, I should put up a page on my site dedicated to showing all of them that I've used <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

And, yes, everything you see in the photos is in my home.

Sorry, I'm a gear junkie and I have to show off my gear every now and then <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

<b>samo,</b>
Thanks!

It's a nice piece of work, I like it. Just a small observation. The black outer glow at that knife on the left is estompating it. You might consider using a brighter colour, even white. Keep them comin'

TOTT,

You're incredibly talented. That is a great lookin' ad!

TOTC, unfortunately with the closing of the Uni year, my scanner access is nil. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I'll root through my collection and post the page and month, maybe another forumite is scanner-endowed. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

[Sword and Shield]

In case anyone out there is scanner-endowed, the ad I mention is from the April 2000 Blade, pg. 14. If anyone has this and can post it here, it would be appreciated. Thanks! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.
