You will need to provide me with the dimensions needed for your photo. This could be in inches or pixels. I cannot correctly re-format the image to proper size without this information. Thanks.

Paypal is my preffered payment method. Credit card, money order, cashapp and venmo are also available.
An invoice will be sent after you review and approve the completed image.
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.
Pictures should be full size and unedited.
Before you take photos:
→ Please clean your knife/sheath and be sure that it is free of fingerprints and dust.
→ Your knife should be completed. That is, make sure it's free of scratches and the blade is not damaged. I will not remove blemishes that are in the knife, just dust and hair.
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 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.
Multiple Angles:
→ Take a picture of the full view of your knife, then flip the knife over and take photos of the other side for a second angle! This way you don't show off the same side of the knife twice.
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 or too bright, the detail of the damascus can get lost and not show it off correctly.
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.
Need more help?
→ Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions or concerns.
