Rubicon picture topic...
Hi guy's I have my Rubicon for almost a week now. And man this is the love of my life! Everyday i play hours with it.
And to Honor this beautyfull design i think it should have his own picture thread.
Now I am not the best in taking picture's. But i know some of you are .
So here are my best pic's of the king of my collection.. And i hope many will join me and let us see many brothers and Sisters .
Enjoy!

Re: Rubicon picture topic...
This is a tricky knife to photograph due to the glossy finish on the carbon fiber. Hopefully I get my hands on one of these so that I can contribute to the thread. You've started things off nicely!

I've now had my Rubicon going on three weeks and still really love it and think it's an AWESOME knife.
A job well done Spyderco.

Welcome to the club liquid Cobra.
Very nice picture even if it is made with just a cellphone :).
In a few minutes i am going to take another bike ride and i'm taking my Rubicon and camera with me. I hope i can make a few extra nice pic's now the sun is shining. And they placed a WWII baileybridge nearby on the river so i hope there is a moment when the bridge is just mine for a few minutes :D

Re: Rubicon picture topic...
I'm really digging that shot of the rubicon up in a tree. This will sound silly, but this is the first knife I've owned that reminds me of a dinosaur. Childish I know, but the carbon fiber scale pattern along with the pointy spine and the shape of the blade remind me of a lizard of some sort. My own personal pocket lizard if you will. Ok that's just wrong, but I think you get my meaning.
I created a thread in the general discussion area but I'll ask the question here as all of you own the same knife. Have you noticed and scratching or dings on the polished carbon fiber scales from carry/use? If so, does it bug you? Is this knife a user or part of your collection? Are you carrying it?
Thanks!
Donovan

Now looking at it from your perspective indeed you can see a dino in there a bit. :)
I must say the Rubicon is not my edc work knife. But i have it on me every evening and in the weekend every day and i also use it for lighter tasks.
( i can not leave it behind it is my preciouse :D i am turning in to smeagol XD)
And at this point it did not scratch yet. Would it bug me if it would? Yes maybe a day maybe 2 then i would love it even more. :) Any knife that is really apreciated will have scratch on it in time. :) because a knife can be beautyfull but the most beautyfull thing about it will always be how good it cuts and feels in your hand. :)

I used a hand held mirror, about 9" square. When I started shooting it started sprinkling but I just kept on. I thought it came out pretty good for an amateur.

Re: Rubicon picture topic...
Nice thread! Thx Apollo for starting it :)
Awesome grind and I love the bidirectional finish on the blade
Sweet jimping
Awesome Pivot inlay
Nice custom clip
Great jimping compensating the lack off a cut out
And a cool backspacer
Is this custom quality on a production knife? Don't know, but I have seen worse customs...
