Payment Info and Wait time
Paypal is my preffered payment method. An invoice will be sent after you review and approve the completed image.
If Paypal does not work for you, let me know and we can work something else out.
If you need a personalized invoice from me, let me know. Otherwise everything will be through PayPal.
After approval & payment, photos are final. Requests to make any adjustments to the image after this cannot be made.
Wait time:
It generally takes about a week to complete an order once I verify the images will work. It may take longer or shorter depending on the number of orders coming in. I will keep in contact with you on the progress.

Photo taking tips
You don’t need fancy equipment to get good pictures. You just need your phone camera, your knife, and a piece of paper. Scroll down to see picture examples and links to video tutorials.
Take your knives outside:
→ Natural lighting will provide the best results to accurately capture color and detail.
→ Try and avoid direct sunlight. It can cause harsh shadows and wash out details. But this can also be fixed by blocking light with a piece of paper.
→ Early mornings or late evenings work great, or in shade on sunny days.
General tips to consider:
→ Do no have any fingers obstructing the view of the knife if you choose to hold it in your photos.
→ Make sure most of the image is in focus. You can tap the screen on your phone to choose where the camera focuses on your knife.
→ Having difficulty with reflections? This is where the piece of paper comes in. Use that to block reflections or harsh lighting.
Sheaths:
→ Take at least one photo with the sheath and knife together. This shows me the proper sizing and proportion between them.
Fine Damascus Patterns:
→ You’ll want to make sure you have bright, indirect lighting for these. If the image is too dark, the detail of the damascus can get lost and not show correctly.
Need more help?
→ Feel free to shoot me a message asking for help for angles or other designs like swords, D-Guards, folders, axes, etc.
Finally:
→ Take a bunch of photos with different lighting and angles and send them all to me. (Literally, all of them.) I can choose the best photos from there. I’d rather have too many photos than not enough.
