Welcome.
The sheath is really well done. The knife makes an excellent EDC or Sgian Dubh. Excellent first knife and sheath!!!

A few suggestions for the next one would be:
Shorten the ricasso by almost half. The neck between the handle and the edge is too long.
Also, I think five jimp marks would have a better look and finger grip for the thumb.

An additional feature you may want to try is a butt cap matching the bolster.

The only thing that looks off is the edge. It looks like it is not straight. Part of that look may be the overly rounded heel. This isn't a killer issue, just one to consider on the next knife.


How is that Stagg Jr whiskey. I haven't tried it myself.
 
Am I the only one seeing the pictures as being blurred out? I just did a search and apparently the people at Photobucket are back to their old tricks, now apparently blurring out photos in addition to plastering their watermark over it. :poop:

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but I didn't see anybody mention anything about the blurred pictures yet.

But, from what I can make out, the knife and sheath do look good. :thumbsup:

They are blurred for me and they are my photos. A lot of the photos on this forum are like that. Is there another platform for loading photos where this doesn’t happen?

Imgur is a popular one as Dave mentioned above. I've been pretty happy so far with Flickr ever since being forced to drop Photobucket due to their first asinine idea to hold all of its users photos for ransom. Apparently, now their new rule is that you can only host a total of 25MB worth of pictures on other sites (such as forums) before they blur them out and force you to pay, unless perhaps you delete every posted image down to a max of 25MB worth. These days, with the high res pictures smartphones are able to take, that can pretty easily come out to less than 10 photos. So for all intents and purposes, once again, you need to pay in order use PB as a image hosting site.

But yea, I do like how Flickr lets me edit and modify pictures on in as well, not sure if the other ones do or not. Unfortunately, Yahoo recently sold Flckr to "SmugMug", who now limit the amount of free uploads to 1000 files, rather than 300MB worth of photos per month. For now, 1000 photos is plenty of room for me, especially since I only occasionally upload new photos to Flickr for sharing.

Yes, they were clear at first and now they are unavailable or blurred over.

One easy way to solve the issue is to have a paid membership.
