Welcome to the forums Weirbel! You have a very nice collection started there ::tu:: ! I personally love the looks of russlocks, just haven't picked one up yet. Only one small problem, this is the worst place to go if you want to slow down buying ::doh:: . Sucked into the vortex of knife buying ::dang:: , can't stop no mater how hard you try ::paranoid:: ! You should see the load I have got coming in, about 20 knives ::facepalm:: . Spent way more then was planning to. Want to buy only 1 knife and then end up with 15 :? .

Welcome to our nightmare! (Sorry, had to :mrgreen: )
You will be shocked and amazed at the speed of the addiction! Six months ago, I had one lonely Richards, a gassed out Queen. I just cracked twenty! That’s not counting watch fob knives, fixed blades, etc etc etc!
You’re gonna like it here...

Btw, the cure for sideways pics is to go to edit, hit the framing/cropping feature and take off a little slice of the top or side. Hit ‘done’ and when you post the pic, it will sit up straight.

Thanks for the tips on fixing my photos! For anyone wanting to try a Russlock on the cheap...the rough green delrin russlock can be found online for 29.99. I am not listing the website in case there is a rule against it but will pass the info along if anyone needs it. I think it is not very pleasing to the eye, but i didnt want to spend $60 on a knife pattern i might dislike in the hand

Hey, folks brag about their Ebay deals. Go ahead and brag about where you get your deals. No rules against it.
Take care and God bless,

Welcome to AAPK. I'm new here too and the only advice I can give is this. Whatever you do, DO NOT go in to the section labeled "Knife Lore". I went in there about a week ago and haven't emerged since. :lol:

Thanks Ann. You're already becoming a valued member of AAPK.
I'm pretty sure that just running the image through the crop feature without removing any portion of it will resolve the picture orientation issue. Try it to see. It works for me and several others who have tried it but I can't guarantee success with all devices.

BTW for anyone who is not aware, There is an entire forum dedicated to "Tips & Tricks". A Forum with lots of how to do stuff on AAPK, including threads on picture orientation.

Weirbel, Welcome aboard. ::handshake:: I noticed you are willing to work overtime to feed your addiction. That is a sure sign that you are well and truly hooked. Your life is going to be enriched for a long time to come. Your life enriched, yes. Your bank account not so much. :)

Welcome to AAPK! If you haven't done so yet and you enjoy Case knives, you need to start building your knowledge base by getting some books. One of the members here, knifaholic, has published a very informative book, now in its second edition. Well worth the investment, either edition, I have both but that's just me. :D
