Cool idea.. and nice angle on that photo..

I had a really nice one a while ago..

I miss it.. Hard to get someone to ship them to NY.. and I won't try to bring one accross the border .. *again*

Not that I would need it now for defense but rather any knife that can be opened with one hand is a bonus.

Thanks. The knife belongs to a friend.
I prefer this one

What is the deal with butterfly knives? Are they illegal? If so, why?

I remember that my stepbrother had one when I was little and I would play with it and always thought it was really cool. I had no idea what it was until years later when I heard someone talking about them.

They certainly are in the UK,along with switchblades,push daggers,gravity knives,buckle knives and sword sticks.It's the carrying of,sale,gift or importation thats illegal here,not ownership.If you can get em past customs and keep them in the house you are ok.

So just imagine what kind of crap I got at the border when they found the one I carried back then, after a trip to Montreal.. I carried it in to Canada.. but coming back was a pain..

I did get it through It's nice to have relatives in Law Enforcement

I used to be able to do some neat tricks with two of them..

I have taken to carrying only my "light pack" (D70, 70-200mm, TC-20E) when I'm not planning a dedicated shoot. Well, it bit me in the ass today.

After catching a movie today in Sarasota I decided to ride over to Ken Thompson Park on Lido Key just to sit and watch the sailboats go by. I parked the car and while walking towards the boat ramps I noticed an osprey perched on top of a telephone pole at the waters edge near a small field.

I ran back to the car, got the bag and fixed the TC while walking back to the field. Half way across the field I started snapping shots. Fourteen shots in I figured out that I was still at F6.3. Dammit, I stopped down to F8 and took a few steps closer. Two more shots were all that he could take and the little bugger flew off.

I found a folding chair, set it in the shade and waited. About fifteen minutes later he returned with his lunch.

I suppose from now on I'll be carrying the heavy bag, never know when I'll need it.


D70, 70-200mm, TC-20E, 400mm, ISO200, F6.3, 1/200

ah what the hell, lets use up some of my attachment space, for the sake of art.
Some photos from around home. Sunsets from the best view in Muskoka, one of the small falls in Bracebridge, and my new paintball gun
