Hi,

If you do a search on the forum you will find various options for hosting your pics on the net, ie photobucket, etc.

Once there you can link the files to your post, or you can save them back to your local disk and upload from there.

Most problems are due to file size, when you save your files to the web, try and select a small size for best results.

Look forward to seeing your knife.

Hey looks good, dont think I could do that after 10 knives let alone the first.

Just wondering was it a kit or did you do it from instructions or from scratch.

Well done it always feels good to make something ones self.

no it was'nt a kit I purchased the bits from Brisa, the blade is a 95mm lauri, the handle is raindeer antler vulcanised fibre and curly birch. It looks a bit big but it fits my hand comfortably, I made a few mistakes on the handle but its all part of the learning curve, I'm going to make a leather and curly birch sheath next,

I'm making the sheath sammi style out of beech and leather, when I get some more curly Birch I'll substitute the beech for that.

Very nice, great combinations on materials on the handle.
