Awesome knives & awesome photography skills. I wasn’t able to view all the photos (iPad limits or reasons unknown) but the ones I did see were really really good! I couldn’t believe people could find any reason to critique your photos. My own photos are so far below standards I’ve actually stopped posting them after seeing yours and a fair number of others which made mine look like I’d taken them with a Polaroid!
Thank you for the kind words but please continue to post your photos. I see plenty of flaws in my photos, and there are many many photographers who take much better photos than me. I try to see what they do, and if I can use a technique etc. to use for my own photos. There's always someone who can outdo you in anything, but don't focus on that! If it is fun for you, don't stop! That is my drive, the joy of creating and expressing my Spyderco hobby, not to see if I can take the best photos out there. We all love seeing knives, no matter what supposed quality the photo is.

Post by Mr Blonde »

After more than twenty years, I got a knife with a black blade again. I just couldn't resist this cool color combination, and the opportunity to try out some cruwear.

Spyderco C64 Meerkat

#872

Post by Mr Blonde »

Somehow, a Meerkat just keeps clipping itself to my pocket every now and then. Which is weird, as I wouldn't list is in a top 5 favorite spydies, perhaps I need to update that top 5 listing. The Meerkat is definitely the 'boomerang' in my Spyderco collection.

Thank you, that's a full backspacer - no additional spring or anything.

Spyderco C196 Mamba

#879

Post by Mr Blonde »

A quick video I shot of what is probably one of Spyderco’s best looking and most impractical (for a suburbanite at least ;) ) folding knife designs, the C196 Mamba. I love this knife!
