mic201m from knifeforums shared this striking custom made knife in the Scandinavian Knife Gallery and it looks great. Apparently he got the idea while sitting in a traffic jam – take another look and have a chuckle at the name, and the double yellow lines. Who knew they could inspire such a thing of beauty?
The blade is a 90×23mm Stefan Brostrom, and the handle is grey/yellow stab Box Elder. The overall length is 215mm. The scandi grind is a well loved and traditional bushcraft design. You can find some more great pics of this “Noh Pah King” knife on knifeforums.

Sadly I didn’t have a very large image to start with, so the higher res wallpapers have been scaled up, but I don’t think they’ve come out too badly in the end

Another from Randy’s impressive BRKT collection, a Bark River Drop Point Hunter which Randy tells us is based on a Bob Loveless design (including the two tone pins). The hand made grip has been modified with the addition of a palm swell. The blade is 3.5″ long, .155″ thick made of 154cm stainless which rockwells to 58 with BRK’s standard convex grind. The grip on this knife is bocota.
The small Mikro Canadian also seen pictured is a convex ground blade 1.75″ long, .150″ thick and made of A2 steel hardened to 59-60 rc. Again, grip material is bocota.
Enjoy the wallpapers, photography courtesy of Randy Samos – many thanks!

I’ve been looking at my webstats, and I’ve changed the resolutions I’m doing as standard to better fit with what you guys are using (seems like widescreen wallpapers are in fashion!). I hope you like ‘em

Ken Lunde has a gift when it comes to photographing great knives. This is a large Owyhee hunter by Scott Cook with 3.625″ Devin Thomas Black & White Spirograph Damascus blade and desert ironwood handles. And it’s just a great knife, well worth taking a closer look at the unique damascus pattern. Photo by Ken Lunde, used by permission, with thanks.

Elvan Allred from allred knives posted this amazing picture of a japanese folding knife on KF and as soon as I saw it I just knew I had to feature it, it’s a striking knife and excellently photograhed – many thanks to Elvan for allowing me to use it Elvan tells us that this unusual folder was started by Akihisa Kawasaki (url?) and finished by Fred Carter after Kawasaki’s death, making it a unique collaboration.
UPDATE: Fred has provided some more details in the comments – thanks!

Another brilliant desktop image of the Blind Horse Knives Bushcrafter by Tim Stetzer from woodsmonkey.com. The knives come serial numbered, with a leather sheath, and are very well thought out – including a flat spot on the back for ferro striking. There’s also a review of the this bushcraft knife on woodsmonkey. But I’m going to shut up now and let the knife do the talking because honestly it speaks for itself:
Update: I bought one of these and it’s as good as it looks. A lovely knife that feels great in-hand.

Tim Stetzer of woodsmonkey.com shared this picture of the Blind Horse Knives Bushcrafter Knife that he designed. It struck me as a great desktop image because not only is it a lovely looking bushcraft knife, but also the flint and striker look so natural alongside this style of knife. The flint striker itself is on my “want” list, let alone the knife! The striker is from primal connection if I’m not very much mistaken.
