CUSTOM & HANDMADE KNIVES

Posted on January 11, 2012 at 13:30 6 Comments 2 Likes

Dear Friends: I just wanted to mention that I ordered and recieved my first hand made knife from Mark Paluch from Cheny, WA.

ANY CAMERA SUGGESTIONS?

Posted on May 31, 2011 at 22:00 8 Comments 1 Like

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
