I dusted off my Salsas a few weeks ago, and gave them a new round of carry & use. These are some of the images of that week, you can see and read more on my website.

Great pictures! The Ti Salsa is still high on the wish list for me(I'm a sucker for the cobra hood), but you don't see them too often.
Really shows the detail in these knives well and serves as a good side by side between the Al ones and the Ti one :)

I agree, and with the aluminum it gets a very faint 'shine' or 'sparkle' that I can't really catch on camera.

An oldie, but a goodie, the Caly 3. I recently dusted it off from my collection cabinet and gave it another round of carry and use. What a superb folder..

Those Salsa photos are excellent! I'd say you use just a little better equipment than my iPad! ;)

Thank you! It's my phone actually and a great overcast afternoon while having the house all to myself. :)

Spyderco C65 Lum Chinese Folder - Rare Variant

by Mr Blonde
I showed off this rare variant of the Spyderco C65 Lum Chinese Folder before, and I recently got around to editing a little video on it.

https://youtu.be/KvXSPYJuFDE

Not only is this C65 a sprint run of an iconic design, made with a blue almite coated aluminum handle, it also demonstrates Spyderco’s engraving service at the time.

Beautiful knife, thanks for the vid!! :)

Would you mind if I posted a link to your post (the one with the vid embedded) on the general discussion forum?
Or you do that yourself?
I am sure quite a few people who´d miss this vid otherwise would really like to see the knife...

Very good!! :)
The vid and the knife certainly more than deserve it, and here on the "Picture forum" many might miss it...

Spyderco C211 SpydieChef

I finally got a chance to give the SpydieChef a proper workout. It's a fine folder, I just prefer it with a bit more blade length and full serrations to make it a better folding food prep knife.

Spyderco C81 Paramilitary 2 2018 Forum knife

Every forum knife is a treat, especially this one. It sees far too much time inside the display case, it needs a bit of pocket time.

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!
