When I view my preview, the first photo appears large, but the second photo looks much smaller.  I did delete that second line from the first photo, but the second photo only had one line.  Will post as is and hope the cave man does not get me.

Thanks OP, Dan

That's because you posted thumbnail views of very large images. If you click on them, the full sized image is presented in a new browser tab.

OK, that works when you click on them.  Great, but how to avoid that other photos appearing at the bottom when viewing the second photo.

Also, you can delete them if you want or I can, if inappropriate, sorry about that!

A knife "Collector"? Wow!

I don't know a thing about "Collectible" knives.

I must say,, WOW!

In the first (big) picture, which knife goes in that empty Sheath on the right? Is it the one with the antler handle?

Also, is that all Damascus steel everywhere I look?

Man that is awesome!  ;D ;D ;D

They are perfectly acceptable, just a different way of viewing them. I usually post screen shots at full size, or if I have an image from a camera, I convert it to a size that can be easily displayed in an average browser window before uploading it. It's a matter of taste, which way you wish to post it.

Sometimes I just scan an object, rather than photograph it, and post the scan, as here;



...so it is shown full sized.

In the first picture, that is a real gator tale and the knife below it is carved to resemble the gators head.  That one made by Peter Martin.  A local artistic maker.  The one on the left, has a snake head coming out of the end of the handle.(no sheath for it)

In the first (big) picture, which knife goes in that empty Sheath on the right? Is it the one with the antler handle?

Also, is that all Damascus steel everywhere I look?

Yes, even the folder above the gator sheath.
I have a soft spot Mother of Pearl & Abalone. ;D












Sorry about the picture quality...
Thanks, Dan

Holy Smokes! Some of this stuff is absolutely amazing to look at.

I wish I could see some of it first hand.

Thanks for sharing!  ;D

Hi Rudge,
No, thank you & OP, for motivating me to do it. ;D
It is a hobby, that does not appeal to the average person, so it's nice to show them to folks that do.
