    Man, is that a strange way to handle an image in a forum.

    No argument here. Might be the way the OP was trying to embed the image. Or maybe an obscure setting in their profile. Or it could be their browser set up.

    I've had no problems embedding an image directly into a post on this forum with any of the browsers I've used (originally IE, then Chrome, then Edge briefly, and now Firefox, until recently. I've been getting 403 Forbidden messages when trying to respond (including trying to make this post).

    Posting pictures

    Gents in the past couple of weeks, something has changed somewhere... probably another darn software "upgrade" full of bugs... It WAS simple to add pictures, and I had posted a few, but know, well it is just a nightmare! This is the only site that gives me trouble... MeWe and a couple other places, do just fine like this site did up until a couple weeks ago.

    Thanks to Kenneth for getting it to show up!

    It showed up in t hge previews, but not when I posted it... Margaritas are not the answer to computer issues, but they are a solution!

    I should have clarified a bit more above - I wasn't trying to indicate any strange behavior on your part, but rather than of the forum. Why on earth one would want a user to embed an image in a thread title?

    Anyone, the sgian dubh looks very nice, Dave - it's got a thoughtful, handmade quality to it.

    Sgian dubh

    Thanks for the complements.

    The handle is shaped to fit MY hand for comfortable, firm, hopefully non-slip grip.

    The phone camera does not capture the color variation and grain swirl very well, unfortunately.

    Finally some decent pics!

    Here is my sgian dubh with 5th coat of oil on the handle... now you can see the cherry burl grain!

    The handle was the first thing that caught my attention. The contouring obviously intends for that to be a safe, useful knife. I see so may cheap ones online that are impossible to use for any kind of real work!

    I freely admit that I rarely use my sgian dubh for actual cutting chores, but when I need it, I want it to function well as what it is. One of them cut ribbon to save some part of the day at a wedding earlier this year because, well, nobody else had a knife. Well done all around, and beautiful steel in addition to a nicely crafted handle.
