craftsman:the other is a craftsman it only says craftsman and USA



If anyone has any info on the age or collector value of these knives id really like to know...or if anyone would like to buy a knife from me also let me know which you'd like cause eventually 75% of the knives i have will go on ebay, but some are just to great to get rid of. i was given a great collection and have 150 very old knives straining from very old camillus, laguiole , rangers ,parker frost cutlery sabre, wester, schrade, puma to some nice barlow knives...

I'm sorry, but I would not bid on a knife that has pictures with quality this poor. Here is what I do, and I put it on another post with these knives.
My own preference is to use a digital camera. However, I do not try to get "close up". I use an Olympus with a 10x lens and a 4x digital zoom which makes it a 40x digital zoom. For example the picture I used for this post was taken from a distance of anywhere from 4 - 10 feet (this is what I always do) and I used the digital zoom to zoom in. All of my pictures are done this way and these pictures are picked at random. I do not use a macro, just a standard digital camera, Olympus C-765 and sometimes a small Olympus C-50 (12x). The mistake peolpe make is to try and get too close and they end up with "Fuzzy" pictures like the ones I see posted. Often I will use simple software (that came bundled with my PC) to crop the picture to bring the image closer. Works EVERY time and I think it works better than any scanner. That's all I do, stand back, zoom in and crop if necessary. I'm not a professional photographer, just self taught.
Click on the images to see them blown up. All were taken with a Digital Camera. Don't get too close when taking pictures, they will be a fuzzy mess!
