What should I buy (camera)?
Reason I'm asking is that I tried to just put the knife on the
scanner, 'cause I don't have a digicam...
Do any of you guys have suggestions on cameras?
However, the scanned pic is below for referance. (not very good quality)
maybe I should downsize it a little too?
The knife was made by my grandfather many years ago.

Hi
Downsized pic below.
Original size pic still above (for those interested in finding flaws in the carving).
I forgot to say: I think he bought the blades and bolsters for his
knives from some external source, and did the woodwork himself.
edited to add: He also made the sheath, of course.
Was the blade hand ground?
I don't even know what that means... so I dunno. maybe?

Mr. Guano,
Don't buy any digital with less than 2 mega-pixels, 3 is better. Mine is 2.2 and works good enough for me. It's a Toshiba PDR-M25 with a Smart Media card. Also, if you're going to take a lot of pics, get the rechargable batteries and charger. It will pay for itself real quick.
Best regard's,
Bonz

Thanks for opinions on cameras, I'll go browsing stores today!
I need some better pics than these...!
As for hand ground blade; I don't think so, at least my grandfather
didn't grind it by hand himself. The blades on other knives he left
behind when he bit the dust had a tang stamp that says N.E.S.
I guess it was a buddy of my grandfathers who made the blades
in a way that they were easy to handle when installing, and my grandpop
just did the polishing and final sharpening. But I'm just guessing here.
I really don't know. Maybe you guys can figure it out when/if I post
some better pics of the knives.

I imagine he got a new camera by now, the thread is from 14 years ago. But you never know.
