That lanyard! 🤣 Did you tie it yourself? Edit: is it included?
i made it myself specifically for the squarehead. :) i don't typically use lanyards, but it makes sense for this little guy.

Excellent photos over the last two weeks, guys! I think pretty much any one of them could've been a winner, but since I have to pick, the winner this round is Rick (Tko83Spy). I LOVE the combination of the blues and rusty oranges in this picture, and the oranges reflected in the blade give the picture a really nice balance.

Runner up goes to Abbazaba with an awesome dragonfly at sunset shot. I love how the light filters through the beer to give the scales an orange tone.

Hmm...I can't seem to add Rick's picture into a quote, but it's worth scrolling back a page to see. :)

Thanks for the nod Julia! I thought the difference in the shades of blue was JUST ENOUGH to make a picture work.

Know it won't win with all the cool crisp shots you guys put up but wanted to throw these up here.

10 years ago this was a gift to the girlfriend (now fiancé) with a don't be scared to use it. Mainly used in field work and rarely seen as was in her work bag.

Saw it the other day and thought how cool a beaten knife looks

Know it's not a Spyderco but

Ok took some decent pictures of the above knife. What’s the best way to upload full size photos on a iPad. Don’t have a photo upload app.

There was a easy way linked in one of the picture threads ? Posted by Vivi ?

I’ve been using imgur but they dropped their mobile website, I don’t like using apps, and their desktop site appears to be in some ‘beta’ version. So I’d recommend anything else that works well!

Imgur is working just fine for me... I haven’t noticed anything different on their website recently either.

It hosts fine, but getting pics uploaded and copying the links is fiddle. I’m on a phone, not pc.

I know you said you don't like apps, but the imgur app makes it really easy on a phone. That's what I do.

Hi Julia, I’m sure the app functions better. I probably have the most barren phone out there. I prefer websites to apps. They can’t keep mining data and reporting back when you log out and wipe history/cookies. Apps just sit there and churn. I’ve been known to download, use, then delete apps immediately. Don’t know if it helps or not, but it goes with my tinfoil hat :p

Lol, I do get that. It's insane the kind of info companies can collect from us now.
