DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
For the ultimate in a high tech folder, Buck worked with custom knife maker Tom Mayo to produce a fantastic looking frame lock folder. Tom insisted on the finest materials, so we choose S30V for the blade material and 6A1-4V Titanium for the sides. He designed the handles to be comfortable and lightweight with machined contours and lightening holes. The blade lock mechanism is machined into the handle for maximum strength. The one-handed opening and closing action is super smooth. To complete this design we added a titanium pocket clip.

Dex, the last couple of pics you've posted are looking kinda, well, odd. Vertical lines running thru them. Everything alright on your puter? I ask because another forumite is not even getting a pic on another thread.
 
CRAP. Thanks for the heads up, Misque. Damn, I have no idea what is going on. I checked some of those exact images I have on the HD and I cannot view them at all. All I did was resize them and adjust for balance then save and upload. I'll have to put a moratorium on posting new stuff until I can get this figured out.

Now that I'm investigating this more, that is what I'm getting too. I'm baffled at this point. These images are of TIFF format and I'm saving them as JPG. I used to could do this, but not any more. I have NO freaking idea what has gone awry here...if anyone knows, feel free to email me at knifenut@triad.rr.com.
 
Dex,

All your jpg's are in CMYK.

If you conver them to RGB space they seem to work in my browser.

I'd convert and upload for ya, but I can't. :(

OK, I think I've got it figured out. To test, here's a shot of the Buck Mayo. I hope this works...
 
Yup! I saw that. I think I know what needs to be done now...

BTW Jon...thanks for the email. That was what was wrong!
 
Are you quite sure Mayo had input on that one? The holes are pretty darn symetrical...lol
