Great pic ! Thank you participating !

Plus, I posted the "Phone or camera" post here (and the thread in Off-Topic); and got a friendly challenge from RevMike, so I figured I'd post something.
I'm still working on getting good photos with my phone; took this while waiting on poke nachos at a food truck.
So...

Very nice! We have a Chef's week going on. I know a few other owners out there. It's a gorgeous knife.

Thanks all for the welcome!
It's actually a very good Hawaiian truck near our house. Coincidentally my wife just picked some up last night in fact. Poke nachos and bulgogi - good stuff!

Yes, I'm quite a stud.

Re: Spyderco Photo of the Week Contest!
actually, this is the edge of a large ditch between two parking lots at work. it's the opposite of a nice area, but you can do a lot with a small area and some creative framing. when you don't have beautiful, sweeping mountainscapes like wartstein, you have to get closer and hide as much background as you can.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 1:06 pmLike the Infamous Bug Buddy shot !

eta: here is the spot i took the picture, circled in red. you can see another parking lot and buildings just beyond the tall grasses.

keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

I wanted an outdoor shot but I was working and now I'm very ill, so...
