Welcome to the porch!
I use imgur. Upload the image, click on the three dots on the top right of the picture after it has finished uploading, go to "get share links," copy the "BBCode (forums)" link and paste it here. You can click the preview tab here to see if it appears correctly. Hope this helps!

Also its these two for me today. I find myself carrying my #66 calf roper the most as of late. And I have the #62 pocket carver ready for some after work whittling I've been doing recently. I hope everyone has a good wednesday!

Love the bone(s). Reminds me of an old Telecaster.

It’s a wet foggy morning here. This MBK knife just came in. It might be too arty or ahem gas stationy even for a fancyphile like me. I suspect the aesthetics will grow on me. I don’t have a knife like this so what the heck. The blade is K390. So it will get a nice patina. It came as sharp or sharper than any knife I have. I’m not sure about the blade surface grind. I think that look has become a thing. And I sure would have liked a swedge. Blades like this look unfinished to me. Walk and talk is fine except the closing from the half stop is a little weaker than I’d like. Would I buy it again? Yup.

I’ve heard it’s better to be a fancyphile than a fancyphobe.

If you’re new, you can post directly from the message dialouge box. Click the Paperclip Attach Files box, lower left. Select photo library and attach the one you want. Select Full Image. You can do that for a while, but you’ll eventually hit your limit. Most of us have, so are using outside photo sharing sites. I’m happy with postimg.com because it’s easy and free. Also, no account/tracking/who has my data? If you care about that…

EDIT: no matter how you upload photos, you have to resize them to under 1mb.

Welcome to this little slice of friendship.
I actually download from my phone album.

Me too. Plus Brownell’s baking lacquers, and their parking solutions. Cold bluing is the easiest by far. I need another bottle.
Baking lacquers stink up your oven and kitchen. But parking is dead simple, too. You can even do small parts in your microwave. Like blades and springs…🤔

But I have a self-imposed restriction. The etch must be disappeared as a welcome side effect of normal use. No intentional removal efforts are allowed.
Just a game I play with myself. Not for sane people😗

I think a Barlow with a well done spear makes a very attractive pocket knife.

I believe I was with you when you bought those two old blonde Barlows. Am I right?
As I remember, they feel silky smooth like old friends.

Joey, that tree looks like it’s been pollarded. Or is just the way it grows?

The swedge makes that spey into a stunner. Do not lose that knife, Paul!

It is known as a Banyan Tree and that is how it naturally grows. There is another one like this in Lahaina where the devastating fires took place that claimed over a hundred lives and miraculously it survived the fires and only inspiring hope for all the locals

Great pictures. Looks like a fun trip👍 I’m always scared to send a nice knife through checked luggage.

I generally always take an easily replaceable SAK but since I was traveling in the states I said why not? Sure glad I did!

Trying to decide what knifes to take to Spain next week.

I thought I would maybe take my San Francisco Sudbuster for food prep in the hotel rooms.



You will remember on one of my previous trips I used the screwdriver blade to tighten up some loose screws in my accomadation.

The joy in finding a proper use for it was somewhat over the top you might say. 😁



I took it for a coffee at the chocolate cafe in Henley on Thames (full of posh people,I stick out like a sore thumb). 😇

While waiting I used my 77 SAK soldier to make an adjustment to my new jacket,OK all I did was cut the zip pull off as it was slapping me in the face as I rode along.😅












They spelt morons wrong. ;)

Went for a little adventure today. I brought my new Case 47 in carbon steel, Case did a good job on this specific knife. Visited an area that my father and I used to go to a lot, in a decade not much has changed. I think this overlook is new and in town the sporting goods store isn't in the back of the grocery store anymore, it's now in a separate building.

As a registered member, you can post pictures by uploading them to a web picture hosting site, then linking to them. (I use Imgur, but there are several other sites which offer free hosting.) Once you have uploaded the picture, copy the web address of it, then go to your post and use the "insert image" tool on the tool bar. (The icon looks like a picture. It is located next to the link tool.) Click the tool, that gives you a pop-up. Select the link tab, then paste the picture address into that. Then click "Insert".

If you use Imgur it's easier. Once the picture is uploaded, click it. It will display, and to the right will be various links. Click the "BB code" link. That copies the link. Then go to your post and just paste in the link.

Welcome aboard!
 
Continuing the quest to make up for all the years when I could not carry a proper knife due to work regulations by carrying every traditional knife I possess.
Today's carry is a "all growed-up" version of the 93OT I carried yesterday. A 4" Boker-Solingen serpentine jack with clip and sheepsfoot blades. 440C blade steel and olive wood covers.

For a second, I thought you had a stockpile of Cooper's splinter-edition tobacco stick wood. Fine covers! Sold mine immediately. 🤣 If you know, you know.

I remember those. 🤣 Having an old barn full of that stuff, my first thought was that's an odd choice for cover material!
