I have a few days off and there was still one old Buck 110 left to play with. This is the same material as my first knife. Actinolite that Ted (Tandl) sent me. We selected this for both toughness and beauty, as I want to carry and use this knife (I gave the first one away).

I tried to crop and adjust my photos in Photobucket. I need more practice and better light I think. Do you turn the macro setting on or off?

Thanks for looking!!
John

Lets you get up close and still be in focus. But... It does make it hard to avoid camera shake. Stabilizing the camera in some way is beneficial. The knife's fantastic, John! Nate

Macro depends on what camera you have. If you have a point and shoot, macro would be best. And do use a tripod or something to stabilize the camera.

Dang John, 3 knives and your already a pro! Gonna have to get some lessons from you.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
