Ferrum Forge / Drop Crux

I got this one used off a guy on Reddit. It’s a great little titanium frame lock running on bearings with an S35VN blade. The detent is maybe a little strong as you really have to concentrate of the flip. Overall I’m happy with the knife. I brought it into the studio to get a few pictures of it.

The knife was designed by Ferrum Forge, sold by Drop and manufactured by We Knives.

New Knife Picture

I took my new We Knives Bishop to the studio for a quick picture in between shoots. It’s a great knife, one I’ve had my eye on for a while and it photographs beautifully. It is a titanium sub-frame lock knife with carbon fibre scales and backspacer and M390 particle steel. The bronze anodized bolster really sets off the look.

Fitness Photoshoot in the Rain

I brought out my rain machine again, but this time for fitness work. I had six fitness people come in during the day, they were all different fitness levels and we got some great images. Special thanks to my assisants for the day Reid and Tim, they shoveled a lot of water. Also thanks to Samantha Lynn Makeup who did 5 of the six women on the day. It was a really fun day, the water was cold, but the models were brave.
