Oh My Gosh, I'm Such a Nerd... (Knives and Books)

[agentlossing]

So an outdoorsy forum I'm also one has a thread titled "Knives and Books" and it's what you'd think, photos of a knife and a book together. It's just so nerdy that I had to participate, and I figured I'd post a few here as I make them. This is truly the height of internet culture. But I'm going to try and make these artistic, if possible.

Inaugural photo:

One of my favorite books.

Your photo does justice to the spirit of Gibson's book.
A seriously damn cool image.

Books and knives, love them both. If that makes another nerd, so be it

How am I going to get a knife and camera forum website in a photo, since that's all I read!

I don't think the knife fits the book but I do like both.

So, how long am I going to wait for Blade Runner?

Gosh, you're showing me up, I don't have that. I don't think I (gasp) have any Philip K Dick books, in my library of over 540 books! I need to rectify that posthaste. I do wish life were back to normal so I could take a trip to Portland and browse Powell's for all of their cool used volumes. One day...

I like it! Opinel knives are just so classy, I think they make a good match for any fine art photography book.

I love Powell's books and their technical bookstore too. We haven't been there in a decade and it doesn't look good for next year either.

I thought I'd join in, since I know I have a knife or two. Alas, I have no books.
