Hi trad folks. I am in the last stages of finishing up a knife buying/collecting book for the Blade Magazine folks. One of my loose ends, I need a picture of a group of Case knives. It'll be part of a center color section, and a full page print.

I am looking for a quality picture of five or so Case knives. There needs to be some differences between the knives in the set. First, I need the set to show some lessons about condition. Everything from patina/pepper spots and handle wear all the way up through 100% mint. I'd like to include a cleaned/buffed one in the set also, so I could point out how to tell that apart from a true mint.

Next, I'd like the knives to be interesting and/or old. Maybe a set of similar knives through several of the early iterations, Tested/xx/etc, not just a bunch of 1990's knives.

I reached out to Waynorth, but his scanner is broken. Those scanner style pics you guys specialize in would work great. I'll need full resolution/300dpi.

Anybody up to the task of putting this photo together for me in the next couple of days?

OK, plan B.... drop the dimension about conditions. I'd love to get a pic of 5 or so knives of a similar model and handle material carried through from the 40's or so to present-ish. Trappers, stockmen? Show the progress of the brand, etc.
 
You could spend time looking through the various CASE knife threads here and if you see pix you like ask the posters' permission to use them? Perhaps contact Primble Primble he's a top flight connoisseur and very tasteful restorer and alpha photographer.

Thanks, Will
