Knife Life—Eye Candy

Our resident Blade HQ lifestyle photographer, Kurt, takes really rad pictures. When he gets his hands on a knife it’s his job to full geek out and show them only in the best light. You’ve probably seen his work on product pages, Instagram, and Facebook. To celebrate our love of knives we present Eye Candy, a series of posts putting together all the best shots to come out of the BHQ photography studio—AKA The Stood.

Is there a better Gentleman’s pocket knife than the Chris Reeve Knives Mnandi? Carbon Fiber inlays compliment a satin finished CPM-S35VN blade and a titanium frame. This knife is the epitome of class. Some men celebrate with a Rolex on their wedding day, and some reward graduation with a fine pair of leather dress shoes. Me? I would prefer the Mnandi.

A camp or survival knife needs to be dependable above all else, because what good is your blade if it’s chipped, or even worse—pushed to the point of failure? ESEE Knives are famous for rugged construction and high quality materials. It’s also pretty neat that they are crafted right here in USA. Check out our Best Fixed Blade Knives Guide to see which ESEE came in at number 1!
