Try this- it works with my Iphone...

Take picture, tap on it to open it. Press edit, and make a few changes. It doesn’t matter if you end up with it as original, but going through the editing process seems to make it acceptable to the forum software.
Press done to save.
Go to BF and start your post. Press “Upload a file”, select photos, press your pic, then press Done. The pic should start loading. Then, just press “Full image”.

I don't use the forum from my phone I just really wish Amazon's hosting service allowed forum code linking and for now its mostly about housing the images but ty.

That red BSA half-whittler looks better every time you post it!

I got this Old Red Bone Case Teardrop in the mail this morning and it will be my carry all day.

Congrats on another appealing Case teardrop, Dean! A 2-blade this time; do you find the pen blade big enough to be useful?

...
Thank you, Gary! I have to get into the habit of carrying my "best" knives on Sunday...

Thanks for all your kind words my friend That's cool about your stone wall John Maleham was telling me and @herder about how he has been building a dry-stone wall for the past couple of years

My wife's wall contains primarily round stones and lots of mortar - definitely NOT dry-stone construction! Still impressive to me (my main role was digging the trench and pouring a concrete footing, and transporting lots of rocks)!

Thanks, GT. Humor is my strongest medicine (wine and beer are considered to be food).

I'm off to see ADEE and ScruffUK tomorrow, so going to take these two over with me

That pair is becoming an "item"!

This GEC #16 Canoe arrived today, so it is my evening carry.View attachment 942159

Congrats, Travman; that's an interesting and beguiling take on the canoe pattern from GEC! When I first started frequenting Blade Forums, I soon discovered an affinity for canoes, and I considered getting an ebony or a rust-red GEC #16, both of which share a birthday with me. At the time, there were lots of GEC canoes at dealers, and I remember collector knives had both of the ones I was interested in available at what would now be considered very reasonable prices, I think. But I waited too long to make up my mind, and eventually they disappeared. Let that be a lesson to me (and all of us )!

Thanks, GT! They haven't fallen off, yet.

Thanks GT! I tend to be a serial monogamist....

(If I said that, my daughter would tell me, "TMI!!" )

Thanks Gary. I posted a family shot of the 26s in the Smalls thread sometime May. The only one missing is the ivory clip gifted to me by @pertinux . I need to do an updated family photo.

Thanks for the info, Ken. I went back to that thread (which I think is a great thread even though I haven't been keeping up with it regularly ) and found your "wheels" of 26s. Very impressive!! I especially like the shot with the blades open, showing off very attractive patina on most of the knives!

Groovy tie!

The tie is TIMELESS Gary, I've seen it before and never tire of seeing it again and again

Nice selection GT, and it's good to see your Test Tie and clip

Gary that’s a cool tie clip. Your RR Sowbelly is just a beautiful knife!

Nice tie Gary!

The smooth bone is stupendous, but the coordinated pen/tie colors captivated me.

Thanks for the paisley tie support! I showed these comments to my wife and daughter, who think I have almost no sense of fashion, and they said, "You realize these guys are all being sarcastic, don't you?" I told them there's little sarcasm on The Porch and that I have quite the respected reputation as a fashion leader here. They seemed unimpressed.
Prester John , in 1969 almost everything was groovy!
Ron & Stuart, thanks for the compliments about my Rough Rider smooth tobacco bone sowbelly. The color of RR's smooth tobacco bone seems to vary from pale yellow to rich dark brown (like the sowbelly), and I have some of each. I definitely prefer the rich brown by a huge margin!

My Fiddleback Forge Bushboot (LOVE IT) and a new arrival, a very gracious gift from my friend Duncan, Charlies sfo boy's knife (LOVE IT) as well

THANK YOU DUNCAN, a genuine and true friend, a brother from down under

Congrats, Paul, on that captivating and well-deserved gift, and plaudits to Duncan for his thoughtful kindness!!

A couple nights at work. Still hanging out with this dude in my pocket.

The 74’s are great aren’t they @SVTFreak ? I was very happy to get this Cougar Clawed Bone Northfield.

Those are a couple of great looking knives, @SVTFreak and @Leslie Tomville !!

These two cigars for me today!

Victory cigars for sure, Ron!!

It’s a major award

View attachment 942416

I see what you did there, @fonedork ! A lot of folks around here don't like leg knives, but I think everyone should have at least one of them. Your ebony version is VERY classy IMHO!

Totin' this twofer pair on Trapper Twosday.
...

And for those who suffered through my giddy gibberish yesterday about getting a new rifle, here's a pic of my new squirrel gun on steroids. Marlin model 60 (how to make an inexpensive gun into an expensive one in 3 easy payments).

Yes, there's already a bug checking it out.
- Stuart

I know almost nothing about guns, but I don't think I've ever seen one with grain like that! Congrats, Stuart! And those trappers are a couple of long, cool Winnies in a Black Box (??); stunners!!

Just got this Ulster made Craftsman small Jack so It's in my pocket today !

Congrats on the new colorful Craftsman, Steve!

A pair of amazing photos with beautiful subjects, Gev!!

Because also have to get out of your box, today walked in my pocket...

Superb TC Barlow, Senhor Pinto!

Another hot sticky one today, light & SS for me

Wow! I like Ike, especially in stag!

Pumpin' poop with a lakefront view. Just make sure you wipe your knife with your hankie before you cut you afternoon apple.

Fantastic to see your faithful Böker companion on the job!

Definitely not being sarcastic about the tie. I would absolutely wear it. Paisley is my favorite pattern.

Thanks, GT. BTW, I like and have several paisley ties (though I'm not a clothes horse, more of a clothes donkey). The stock that I added to the Marlin is a wood laminate, so the "grain" is somewhat contrived. I thought that it complemented the black/brown G10 handle of the fixed blade, as well. That Buck canoe is worthy of a compliment, also. Very nice.

83 today on a very nice Bison leather pouch the late Big Biscuit very kindly gave me

Will your 83 Stag is a special one! So was our friend BigBiscuit!

Totin' this old friend today. Empire jack (Winsted, CT 1856-1930).

- Stuart

Stuart that is a wonderful old Jack my friend!

Great carries today, folks!
Cramer LCJ looking on as I tuck into my breakfast. By the way, Case makes a great tomato knife!

Great knife selection there Gary! Did you get that Case at the store in Bradford? By the way that is a very healthy looking breakfast. Much more so than my two over medium, 3 pancakes and 3 crispy slices of microwave bacon! Oh I forgot, a cup of Costa Rica and one of Sumatra!

Another classic Gev!

Victory cigars for sure, Ron!!

Thanks Gary! I really like your Buck Canoe. I bought one on clearance at Wally World the other day. It's okay for the money buy your is mucho nicer!
