Welcome to page three
...of my gemstone knife handles photo galleries. The photo galleries
were created to illustrate the many and varied gemstone knife handles I've
made over more than three decades of knife making. It's easy to see why
stone, rock, minerals, and gemstones have captivated man since the
beginning of his existence on this rocky planet and will continue to do so!
The gallery pages are in alphabetic order. To see the master list, please visit the
Gemstone Knife Handle Alphabetic List page.
The pictures are thumbnails; click on them to see a larger picture with
greater detail. Please remember that many of the full sized photographs
are physically larger than the knife handle, so you are looking at a
magnified version. As with any photo, there may be variations in color,
density, and balance between monitors, browsers, and display settings.
You'll probably notice quite a variation in photographic quality of some of the photos. Early in my career, I took
pictures of the knives with film, and had the film processed. I wasn't happy with that, so began to process on my own,
improving the pictures considerably. Then the digital revolution came, and I moved to the realm of digital photography,
improving the photographic quality and gearing my photography for this very digital medium. Many of the images of
older knives and handles were scanned from old, low rendition prints and smaller negatives, so the quality of the
image is less than optimum, but I included them because I believe it's important to see the gem material.
You'll also see repeats of certain gemstones, like Polvadera
Jasper, Nephrite Jade, Red River Jasper, and granites. This is
because not only do I use them a lot, but they also have
variable character that is hard to describe with merely one
photograph. For these same reasons, you'll see both sides of
many of the handles, to give a complete view of the character of
the gemstone.
Please remember that I do not have all of the gemstones
pictured in the galleries available for new custom knife orders.
I'll keep new gemstone knife handles posted, so please check
back periodically. For more information and answers to
frequently asked questions about gemstone handled knives, visit
my Gemstone Knife Handles page.
Thanks for being here!
