1024x768 is good. Anyway, there's right-click > View Image. That should view the image individually and scale it to fit the window. If you right-click > right-click on View Image (at least in Firefox), it'll view the single image in a new tab.

Nice knife, but I wouldn't find it practical for EDC.

I haven't been working steady.The bills are piling up.I sold over half my collection so far.Needless to say,I'm pretty disgusted
 
Jill, you've posted some very nice pics of some very nice knives. I like your taste in cutlery :thumbup:

Do you use yours, or do they live in the safe?

I don't use 97% of my knives. I never use any that have collector value. My Dad has 100's of all sorts of knives and I just use what I need.(mostly his:D) I know a lot of people see a knife no matter what price or how rare it may be, as a tool to be used. I don't see it like that and enjoy them for their design and inherent beauty. Using them and scarring them up would be like defacing a work of art, to me. Bottom line is I know they are meant to be used, but I can do what I need with just a few of my knives. (OK, I'm weird and like looking at unblemished mint knives, I'm sure there's others:))

But but but!! The art is in the design, designed for the ability to cut cut cut!

But I guess I'm like that with everything; I have cheap sunglasses because I wanted ones that looked good, not because I wanted ones to protect my eyes :cool:
 
I'm more of a collector and like the thought that, some of my knives are worth a lot more than I paid for them. Using them makes them worth less. So, each to their own.
 
Photos are excellent, if you can do this well with a brand new camera, you'll be one of the best photographers here once you get more familiar with it. As for size, it's fine for me, but if you want a simple way to make your photos smaller, Picassa is free, and can resize entire groups of pictures.

As for the "collectors -vs- users" thing. The "knife community" is, in reality, a collection of many diverse factions, each of which can't understand why anyone in their right mind would want to belong to one or more of the others. I know, I do it myself, perhaps more than most.

I don't think there's any magic dust that will ever unite all of us. But I will say this; for those categories of man-made objects not intended as "art for art's sake", there is both a legitimate need to demonstrate that the item can fulfill its intended purpose and an equally legitimate need to preserve at least a few pristine specimens for the enlightenment of future generations. For that reason, both users and collectors are essential.

I'll have to look into Picassa it might offer me something I don't have.

Jill there is also a tiny tiny tiny program you can download from the Microsoft websight (look under the download section ;) ) It's name is resizer. Once you load it. You just click on any picture and a little box comes up for options. It'll keep the original as is if you want and make a copy at the size you wish.
 
I sorta like the big pictures myself, rather detailed and stunning compared to the tiny ones.
