First off, Nice knife i kind of like the look and feel of the blacksmiths knives.

Second take a sheet of paper and hold it over the flash bulb of your camera, it dulls or diffuses it enough for a good picture.

Here are a few things i found with the search on that subject.

That search button is a very useful tool, I've taken a liking to it. :)

Absolutely adorable. Gotta love one piece knives.

You say 'silversteel W1', but I was under the impression silver steel was a different specification. Are they actually the same, specification wise?


not sure to be honest, the specs might vary a bit, but ive allways been told that silversteel is W1....

thanks everyone for the nice words about the lil knife!
