Buck Fixed-Blade Photo Shoot

Post by PT7 » Mon Nov 14, 2016 6:26 pm

Mid-November already, and I'm out on the patio today watering plants that are still in full bloom!
As I looked around, I decided it would be fun to get my two Buck fixed-blade knives out for a photo shoot.

My knife collection is still quite small, but the folders (85%) outnumber the fixed-blades (15%). I'm working to remedy that unfair distribution!! ;) I plan to have at least one more fixed-blade added in this year....then on to 2017!

Here are the "sharp" photos I took today--just for fun, just for looking at! :)

Nice looking knives, I like your stones too. It has been mild for this time of year around here also, but I'm sure that will change in the near future.

Yes, I do. But cannot quite figure why, because of how very much I like the looks of quality wood on both rifles and knives. As of right now, the Henry/Case collaboration Trapper knife I have with Antique River Log handle cannot be matched.

Today I was looking at the "Knives of Alaska" web pages, and found a fixed-blade, which I'd like to get. Maybe the term has been in other knife descriptions, but it was the first time I read the word skeleton in referring to a knife handle: •Austere "skeletonized" knurled handle•
The description of "austere" is quite appealing.

Sure is fun discovering my "likes" in knives.

Two really nice knives, and excellent photos. ;)

There is something really visceral about a well made knife. I doubt if anybody could really define the feeling. It just "is". Or do I need therapy? :?: ;) :lol:

I think you nailed it very nicely.

Those are very cool. I hope you're able to get the handles one day too. :)
