The first knife vintage 2000 ,#2 vintage 1970 If I read the Date codes right

I have carried a pocket knife for over 50 years. I feel naked without one. Still annoyed with TSA for telling me my 1.5 inch lockback is a danger , but that's our times.

Flying broke my pocket knife habit.

I was flying back from Colorado and forgot to take the knife out of my pocket. They gave me a choice, loose it to the box or leave the line and find the mailer kiosk a mail it to my house. Yes choice 2. I made it back for the inspection and on the plane. I loved that knife and was NOT going to give it away. 15 years and I still use it. Now I carry a Leatherman, I would not use a knife that doesn't have a locking blade. I want to get my grandson a Leatherman for his EAGLE Scout court of honor.

Wow!
First photo is really outstanding.

I have carried a pocket knife since I was, I think, 3 years old. Thinking back, I can remember six in the last 70 years. One is now in the possession of a nephew. The others are somewhere in my house. I have others owned by my Dad and Grandpa. And others never used.

I love Swiss Army knives and have carried them for the last 40 years. But I kept losing them until I put it on a ring on my key chain. I have had one now for 20+ years. You can never lose you car keys (for long) so I can't lose my knife either.

Interesting knives very well captured!
How have You lit the first one so the blades turned out to look like painted in black?
I recently had to shot some kitchen's cuttlery and to avoid specular highlights on chrome, I had to use some black cards letting them to be reflected onto the chrome parts. Quite tricky method to skip editing via PS or LR

Nice knifes! Is this CASE company a reputable "knives producer"?
Is it the same company which produces big machines for construction?

Since the blades are slightly hollow ground I kept reducing the lighten the left until the blades went dark the backed off a bit.
