 I don't know how many people will understand the title, but this is a butterfly knife (balisong), which is legal to own and carry here in Oregon. I've wanted to photograph this for awhile, but haven't had anything at all fitting to use it for... so here goes. I ran out of time for this challenge, and decided to use it now. I imagine this won't do very well, but I'm pretty pleased with it, so I'm entering it anyway :)

Editing: Resize, crop, curves, levels, hue/saturation, unsharp mask, sharpening, border.

Very, very nice texture. The only slight suggestion is to work on the overblown highlights. Great shot.

Very moody shot. You picked out the detail within the whole image well. I think the DOF is about right, keeps the attention in the middle of the frame. There's a lot of people who say don't use a border in the challenges but I like it in this case. Well done.
