Chicago Autcion '09 Preview

[rszajkow]

Hi All-I had the pleasure of shooting the Premiere Knife Auction catalog again this year for Chicago. Here is a sneak peak at some of my favorite photos/knives. Hope to see you there in September!

We should be seeing online bidding go up for some of these shortly. Check in at www.chicagoknifeexpo.com.

O.M.G There are some absolute beauts there-wow
That Lake knife is a clever blend of traditional stag with most beautifully finished modern metal-very, very nice.
Love the Loveless...but whats with the initials on the Ricasso?

 

[rszajkow]

I would assume Jim Merrit had a part in it before the loveless-merrit logo?? Not sure

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Great photos of great knives, although that one photo of the Lake is reversed.

 

[Joss]

Is there a link to the auction itself?

 

[Bruce Bump]

Great photos of great knives, although that one photo of the Lake is reversed.

I looked at that for 10 minutes and its not reversed. Look at the stag for the clue.

Wow these are over the top EVERY ONE OF THEM !!

I am pleased to be a table holder this year. I'm pumped now!

 

[rszajkow]

Yep, the first time I saw a photo of one of those Lakes I thought it was reversed too! But he does the logos like that sometimes. Forward on one side flipped on the other. Here's the other side.

This is the auction page within Ed's site but we do not have the normal proxibid sub-site yet. I will try to update when its ready for online bidding.

Phenomenal knives. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Here is an update guys- online bidding is available and the rest of the knives are now viewable online. Unfortunately Proxibid compresses the #$%$$%#% out of the images. I'll see if we can find a solution for viewing these at a bit better quality.

Holy carp. I'm floored. Never knew there were knives like those out there. Beautiful.

Nice little pearl Harumi...

 

[rszajkow]

Thanks guys here is the link again- we seem to have overcome the issue with JPG compression and the images are nice and clear now. There are also some more lots online to view.
