Wew! This is my 5th knife made for my dad as an experimental rescue knife. He is a professional fire Chief in Omaha Ne. It has a blunt end so as not to cut the victim in the event of seat belt cutting and a chisel ground glass breaker on rear of handle. It has a single bevel chisel grind with a razors edge. I thought about serrations but I was scared I guess. A razors edge should cut a seatbelt with ease. Can I post pictures here without using photopoint. I really do not care for it. It would be nice if I could just post directly from my hard drive. And one last time guys I forgot, How can I put pictures here without having to link to photopoint. Still trying to master my new digital camera so pics are not the best. Tell me what you think!

Excellent design for rescue work VQ!! Very nice pinnage too!

Take care!! Michael

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

Just click on my post like you would if you wanted to edit it, and you can see the tags I used to post it.

BTW Nice knife, if I ever get one completely done I hope to have something as nice as this to show for it.

Cory, that rocks! Was this forged too? I bet your dad is one happy man.

No Dave this wasn't forged. In fact I do not forge. I strictly do stock removal for now. Cory

Great Design. I havent't even finished my first yet but I bet it's a great feeling to already be on your 5th knife and have some good designs too! Wonderful Present for your Dad, I'm sure he will be more than happy to brag to his co-workers about the Maker!

That looks AWSOME there Cory.You are doing really great with your designs and grinds...Keep up the good work.
To answer your question,You cannot post straight from tour hard drive,The picture just has to be posted somewhere on the web like on a web site or any of the other photo album sites...You can always sign up for a free website at Homestead like I did and put your pictures there and then post them up here,That way you will have your own website also,and they arent to bad to build using homestead in fact there pretty esy to get started,You might check it out,Just go to my website and look at the bottom of any page for a link to there info.

Thanks Bruce. I was getting ready to build my site and I liked yours so I was thinking about Homestead. Did you get the chance to create any animated gifs with the programs I sent you? Cory
