Did you get a new phone with a better camera? I did, and encountered the same issue. To workaround I email the pictures to myself, then when it asks to select the size I go with under 1mb per pic.

View attachment 1036044 I’ve been having the same problems with images being too large to the point that I’ve given up posting for the most part. The resolution of this pic is now so low that it’s downright blurry.
But, trust me, the knives are awesome...and sharp!

I use an App called Image Size on my iPhone to cut my image sizes (as closely) down to 1024 x 768 using this App and then I use the Upload a File feature on the bottom right of the screen.

Ha jinx! Yeah image size, I'm sure there are others. That's probably the best way if you want to stay on your phone without having to download\upload\save\download them.

FYI guys, the image upload file size limit used to be 1MB (which wasn't too bad), but Spark lowered it to 500kB not too long ago saying that we're burning too much server space. :thumbsdown: Yeah, sucks. :poop: The image dimension limit is 1,600 x 1,600 pixels.

I use the Image Size app too. I usually find the size that is the largest I can go with that gets me under 500kB. I've noticed that busier backgrounds greatly increase the image file size. What I've been doing more recently is taking photos from a bit further away, then crop into them to shrink them a bit, then use Iamge Size to get to where I need to be. PITA for sure.

So my HDFK delivery went missing for a couple days. :eek: I was getting pretty worried, especially when the local PO said yesterday that the other packages on the semi from the Denver regional hub had arrived at the PO and had mostly been delivered already. :( Two days late (since the last scan early Sunday morning) already at that point, so I was concerned.

I don't know what they did, but it was finally scanned at the local PO at 5:30 this morning, and was at my door at 7am. I don't know if they had someone deliver it special since I called or what, but the good news is that it's here! Phew! :) (And it's freakin awesome!!! :D) Pics! :cool:

These antique micarta scales seem to change shade quite a bit based on the lighting. Awesome scales! :thumbsup: Close-ups:

Can't wait to get this thing out in the wild and try her out! :D

Doubt it, but don't know with 100% certainly. However, it has a set of buffed naturals piggy backing in the package, so if I had to give you an answer, I'd go with no! The FK was from the batch that Nathan did a limited run of antiques for both FK and EDC1 back when, this one I do know foe certain.

I don't think the RLC was offered in antique micarta, though several RLCs were made outside the typical sales thread offerings and a few could perhaps have easily been handled in antique micarta. At least one was made with Westinghouse micarta.

I imagine that at some point later, Jo might have offered antique micarta scales separately, but not sure.

I know that I was lucky enough to snag one in antique but didn't recall them being offered any other time. Just curious.

IIRC, around Blade Show 2017 some antiques became available for the LC because I remember that CPK's table definitely had some original LCs equipped with antique Micarta handle scales. It is possible that the original owner of my RLC bought an extra set for the RLC back then because I also bought a set for my LC just after that Blade Show when I became aware that a few extra sets existed. Weren't the really limited number of RLCs sold in Summer / Fall 2016? I don't remember exactly but kinda real around that tome frame. Also I think that there were less than 10 of them altogether sold here on the Forums, during two different sales. That's my recollection of this memory lane.

Just found the sales thread. It'll be two years ago tomorrow that I bought mine.
