Dan's always talking about throwing back scotch.....where do you think the new knife designs come from? So even if there wasn't a knife in the picture, it's still related <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Maybe one day I'll figure out how to attach a picture to an email. Been trying to do that for years!

What email provider do you use? Maybe one of us would be able to help you if we’re familiar with it. It’s as easy or easier than using photobucket. I use Gmail myself. I’ve had dozens of email accounts, and it’s really fast, has Google search built in for the message search, and no graphic ads, only text. And it’s free! Photobucket even has where you can send an email with attachments to an address, and the pics will go to your photobucket account. When I’m at home, I do that from my cell phone to upload the pics, as my cell phone signal is faster than my dialup, and that way I can still use the net on the computer while the pics upload from my phone.

Is this thread related to the Yard, can't recall a knife in that pic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Assuming that you're not joking and from your "Reged:" date, The Yard Keeper and Yard Guard releases may have been before you found the Yard. See the Main Site's Knives Page for details.

He was joking or just fixated on the sam adams.

The Hook is an awesome knife. I like it a lot more than the original DFCG. Recurves are awesome because they put the weight of the knife where you need it so a short 7 inch knife can chop like a 9 incher and it puts the edge at exactly the right angle for cutting. They are only harder to sharpen if you use a bench stone.

For some reason they are not popular with Scrapper fans but the nearly identical looking Emerson waved Commander is Emersons most popular model.

You might have to click on this photo to see it big enough. Quite the similarities
for a folder. I bet you can figure out how Emerson came up with the wave now?

The Yard Hook was my first SYCO blade. I liked it too, but at the time the sheath options just didn't suit me, so instead of hanging on to it I sold it.

But it did lead me here, so in a lot of ways it'll be one of the best knives I ever bought.

I do wish someone would make a recurve that size that has an edge right up to the hilt. That'd be a first class ripper, seems to me that's the idea anyway - stick 'em and open 'em up.

And no, I don't mean beer bottles. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I see what you're saying, the post was "a knife", but I read it as "the knife".

Nice pic. Can you post a detail of the mod for opening the bottles. I have yet to make that change to mine. I also like it as a second attachment point if I had to fashion a spear out of it.

I no longer have those pics. All I did was grind the hook sharp from the inside so that the forward edge of the hook was sharp enough to get a grip on the crown cap. Really low tech and simple to do. Here is a fair pic of the hook or blade catch (bottle opener).

I use hotmail. I know it's easy, just click attachments and browse and then "attach" . Trouble is, mine only come out on rare occasions! Most of the time when people get them there is nothing there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm…have you ever tried it with another email server? I have hotmail too, and Yahoo mail, and a bunch of others, but I think Gmail is best. You should check it out, maybe you’d have better luck. I never liked hotmail, because it was always slow to load, especially on dialup.

After you click browse, and choose the pic, after it’s done loading, it should say:

“To send multiple files, use Browse and Add more files. When you're done, click Attach.”

If it’s only one file you’re sending, click attach, then it should go back to the message, and under the subject it should say “Attachments:” with a little pic of a paperclip, and the filename of the file, with a link to the right that says “remove” for if you want to remove it. Then you hit send, and it should work.

If you’re doing all that already, then I can’t think of anything else to try.

Yep. Thanks, Andy. The little paperclip attachments and file numbers show up and all. It's just that most times when the recipient opens them, there is nothing there.
