TheoRockNazz Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hello all, I've been out of the forum loop for a bit, half busy with a new job, the other half my own bladesmithing. Recently I had a friend take pictures of my work (in exchange for a knife of course), and while she has yet to get around to some of my newer work, I thought you all would enjoy fancy photos of work from my past. And here's some recent work that I took pictures of - I know the photos pale in comparison, but she'll get around to them soon.Sword forged from 5160 spring steel, guard is two gears I found in the yard when I was blacksmithing at the Kew Bridge Steam Museum, teak handle, copper fittings. Forged 440 C peeling knife.Forged 440 C girls' utility knife - the one for the photographer friend. Purpleheart scales with brass fittings, mosaic pin, and fileworked spine.The photographer's name is Heather Quercio http://heatherquercio.carbonmade.com/I would love to hear comments, critiques and everything in between,Theo Rock Nazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Nice work, the pictures are a tad ginormous though lol.. open a photobucket account, much easier picture control.Mod note: we prefer pictures be posted here, we have more than a few threads we had to delete due to off-site photos going away or in one case being replaced by very 'off topic' photos, leaving the entire thread useless, therefore deleted.

TheoRockNazz Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks guys! I'll have to scale em down next time, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don A Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm diggin' that sub-hilt in picture #4. The only thing I would offer is that on the next one you would round the edges of your guard and handle more. No complaint; just a suggestion. Other than that... great work!

Robakyo Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 How is it that you are allowed to post pictures that are incredibly huge? In order to upload pictures of my work, I had to reduce them to the point where details were utterly obliterated. Twice I've tried to view your pictures, scrolling around the screen is really tedious. I was unable to click on the save button to view your images in a separate window. So, I can't really comment on the one picture I "Saw". It was viewed in bits and pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Okay, I won't make this mistake again - here are sized down images. Please let me know if they are easily viewable (as they should be). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Nguyen Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 THAT is one nice looking one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoRockNazz Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks Don, she's one of my favorite from this years work. I really wish I had thought to countersink the wrist loop hole though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
