Bowie style knife made for a charity auction to benefit a therapeutic riding center for children. Farriers rasp, mahogany/maple from cabinet maker cutoffs and brass bar stock. Stand is from Cypress tree felled during Hurricane Irma. Used the farriers in homage to the equestrian them. First time doing the false edge on the clip. Vine pattern on guard. Any critique would be appreciated.

(photos deleted for being far too over sized.)

I will get back to this.

Are you looking for critique?

As for the photo sizes, please see this thread: http://www.americanbladesmith.com/ipboard/index.php?/topic/115-editing-photos-for-the-internet/page__pid__23283__st__0&#entry23283

There are a couple of free websites ut there that work very well and are easy to use.

first time I posted anything here I goofed up as well. posted right from phone...........now I down load onto desk top and resize on computer to fit page rules. A simple method that can remove that problem.

Minimum Effort = Minimum Results every time

One of those photo editors in the thread above (pixlr.com) also has a phone app that lets you resize photos and saves a reduced copy (suitable for posting here) on your phone. So, if you are used to working with just a phone, or do not have a desktop computer, go for the pixlr app.
