Drews Knives

[xdrewsiferx]

So I dont have alot of knives as many would expect of me. I only have what I really need since I have a smallish kitchen and I cook no meat. Unfortunately my father has my Nikon D1 so I am unable to take good photos of my own knives so ill provide ones that come from my website. On most of mine I have done some unique work with shaping the handles a bit and such but I will try to remember to shoot my personal knives for you guys.

I also own many production folders that I will not post due to mas number.

the Cowry-X by Koyama is lovely... :D

Yes that is my daily carry knife. Out of every knife I have ever owned that knife has held an edge longer and the one knife I have had the most attachment to.

[Octaveman]

Yeah, Drew, we're gonna need actual shots when you can. I'm sure you got more folders too. Bout time you posted your stuff. Nice well rounded selection.

[xdrewsiferx]

I am not sure when ill be getting my good Camera back from my dad he has been using it alot recently with the cars hes been workng on aka 1930's Bentlys, Race Ferrari's, and all sorts in the $500,000+ area. So I will try soon but dont hold your breath. He needs it more then I do right now.

Hi Drew,

thanks, very nice pictures. But we definitely need to see more of the koa santoku in your avatar. You still have that one?

Ohh I never owned that one I lusted over it before it sold. We just got one in that I might try to buy if things work out.

Too bad, I misunderstood your post about that one but perfectly understand your lust. That one really looked nice. Do you happen to remember what the knife sold for? I just love that koa wood - and I hope that Daniel is currently working on my next fix ;)

[VHo]

I do not remember the price to be honest but I think it was around $600.

VHO: dont thank me on the photos thats Jerry our photographers work.

[Octaveman]

It's just not right to tease us with a knife that you don't even own in your avatar on a knife forum. That's akin to putting a pic of a gorgeous looking plate of food that you didn't cook on a food forum.:p :rolleyes:

OR.....someone else's kid in their avatar :eek: ...just ain't right, I say.

[xdrewsiferx]

Lol ok bob.... I see your point but in all fairness I will one day own a knife by Rader might not be today but soon...

[xdrewsiferx]

Well this weekend I just purchased a new Camera so when it gets in on wednesday ill post up some photos of "MY" knives.

[xdrewsiferx]

I just took this messing with the Macro set up on my new camera.

nice shot.

I guess your avatar could be considered a pin up girl.

[Octaveman]

Very cool shot, drew.

[xdrewsiferx]

Lol thanks.

[Octaveman]

Very nice...I'd like to see more pics if you have the time.

[xdrewsiferx]

What other photos do you want?

[Octaveman]

Shots of the spine, shot of the front end of the knife as you look straight at it. I'd like to see how thin it is. I dunno...just...more.

Hey Drew,

Has that Kumagoro been rehandled? I thought that their hammer finish line only came with traditional D-shaped Ho wood handles.

[xdrewsiferx]

Kinda in a way.... It was the first Hammerfinish knife to his US soil. It was the test knife that he sent us so I has a kinda odd handle but I like it alot.

Bob.
I am sorry I am just not able to get any better photos with out my SLR. It needs to go into the shop for repair. I am only working with a Canon Powershot SD750
