Apologies. My photos are being held until I pay blackmail. Photobucket is off my Christmas list...

PB emailed me and explanation/bottom line: Third party hosting is not allowed for a free account. I have to pay monthly to unlock photos. Annual cost is $399.99 for a Plus 500 Plan. I notice that on my Counterfeit Buck knife sticky thread (BladeForum, Good Bad Ugly sub-forum), started in 2015, that PB blanked out photos posted 2016 forward to now (but not before 2016).

Here is their email to me, received yesterday:

photobucket
WE NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING
PHOTOBUCKET FOR 3RD PARTY HOSTING*

TO RESTORE YOUR 3RD PARTY HOSTED IMAGES,
PLEASE UPGRADE TO A PLUS 500 PLAN.

Our Terms of Service does not allow 3rd party hosting with your current account level.
UPGRADE NOW
*What is 3rd Party Hosting?
Photobucket defines 3rd party hosting as the action of embedding an image or photo onto another website. For example, using the <img> tag to embed or display a JPEG image from your Photobucket account on another website such as a forum, Etsy, eBay auction listings, a blog, etc. is definitively 3rd party hosting.
Why Photobucket?
Photobucket continues to have the distinct pleasure of hosting 15 billion photos from 100 million unique users since inception 14 years ago.
The subscriptions we offer are price competitive & we offer unlimited 3rd party hosting, no matter how popular your image is on your forum, blog or online store.
Additionally, we offer our users the opportunity to promote their business or products with the rest of the Photobucket community.

Here is a photo hosted by Amazon Prime showing the Knives mentioned above. I apologize for the missing photobucket pics...
I can expand the photo by touching it. Can you?

Thank you for looking.

Hello kiki47,

Your English is terrific! Bravo! It is better than my French.

Try Rakuten Globel Market (they have a French language site) or East Tackle (Singapore). They both show Daiwa Knives on their sites. I have not done business with either so I cannot vouch for them. But if you do order please let us know your result.

Is there a must visit knife shop in Paris? My family plans to visit this coming July 2019. Attending a European knife show would be a hoot as well.

All the best,

Oregon (who just bot a stunning Bill D. Large Leverletto by AKC, WOW! Bill I didn’t know about the hand filler model, WTG)

Hi, Oregon,

Thank you for the information if you wish there is a shop that looks pretty good in Paris it is Courty & Fils, it's been 10 years that I haven't been there but I keep a good memory of it.
