Jim coopers magic

[Dan Graves]

I sent these blades to Jim and just look at the magic he did. These will be submitted to the "500 Knives book". I didnt think they could look this good.

Dan,
Jim can certainly do great things with photographs, however, he has to have a good subject to begin with.

That old saying, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken-do holds true with photography.

In order to turn out stunning photos like these, you both have to be on top of your game, and from my perspective, you both are on the top.

Thanks to you and Jim for sharing.

Dan and Jim do not stand in anyone's shadow. Both the knives and the photography remind me that genius is still alive and well! Sandy

Dan, Both are amazing peices of art, not something I exstend to just any knife. The book should be so lucky!

Hi Dan,

I bow in humbleness to the knives. My work is easy. I look great when I have a supermodel to photograph....!

Guys, I will point out that the dagger comes with a wonderful presentation stand (which I couldn't include) and two sets of quillions/pommel: Long and short.

That said, I decided to show all the variations. See that the inset has the short ones and the main display has the long ones. Pretty tricky stuff, Dan!!

That dirk has such a great shape, and Dan's forging of the distal taper was a standout, so I used that to display.

I don't see a problem with his inclusion.....

Thank you.

Coop
