ANY CAMERA SUGGESTIONS?

I'm trying to get some suggestions on what kind of camera is req'd. to take good, clear close up shots of knives for this website & also for taking shots suitable for advertising on eBay. They recommend a 1000 pixxel camera which seems like an awful lot to me?

Any suggestions for a suitable & hopefully not too expensive camera?

Thanks, Kent Gable

In Memoriam It is so good to have friends who got your back!

Wow! That's about how I sum it up. What am I talking about? Well, the last two weeks.

I can't say life is returning to normal because so many people have lost their life, or had it totally tragically displaced. If you haven't seen this monster storm-check this…

The Cleaner Collector

Friend's let's talk about cleaning you knives! First of all we started collecting knives to keep and let that hobby

grow into something you can share with others. When you show your knives off to a friend or guest, you don't

want to hear the words why does this one have rust spots or looks green on the brass !! That's is what's going to

happen without keeping your knives cleaned and oiled on a regular schedule. A knife collector keep's their eyes open on their knives. There are… Continue
