Been Slackin Off...New Blade...
« on: March 12, 2009, 01:17:00 AM »
Went from one knife a day to... dare I may say...It took me a whole three days to make another! What blasphemy!   "[dntthnk]"  

Heres my latest blade..  :D  

HIGH quality walnut, forged L6 steel blade, my first tapered tang, polished to 1000 grit, even though it doesnt look like it.(I HATE camera flash with a passion  "[dntthnk]"  )

The pics dont do this knife justice.  

Let me know how I did fellas!

Looks like a handy little knife, really like the textured thumb rest, nice job.
 
To get away from the flash, you can make a light box out of a cardboard box using the instructions here:   http://www.wikihow.com/Create-an-Inexpensive-Photography-Lightbox

I used an old t-shirt instead of the tissue paper and a couple of reading lamps for the light.  Just turn off the flash mode on your camera so it adjusts to the light from the lamps.

I also have found that using the macro function and zooming in froma  few feet away helps greatly aswell. Skippy
