A Special Request to Our Customers ...

From Tye Harbuck, web-page editor:

As some of you may know, my father has been building knives for many years.  He has truly valued your support throughout that time, and I know he looks forward to serving you for many more years (age and medication permitting).

Recently, I've been feeling a bit nostalgic about all those knives.  If I may make a bit of a private confession here (not like this is on the internet, or anything), there aren't a lot of records of past creations.  Taking photos of everything just wasn't a priority in the early days.  Nowadays, in fact, only the knives that we want to showcase on this site get photographed.

So, I would like to make a request for photographs of your favorite knives.  Digital images would be preferable, but other arrangements can be made for prints.  I don't want to put many restrictions on the content: be creative.  If you want to show off how you are storing or showcasing your knives, go for it.  If you're about to skin a deer with your favorite Harbuck knife, take a picture.   For you tech-savvy folks, if you want to send a video file, that would be fun ....  Captions or comments are welcome, of course.  The ultimate goal would be to compose a photo gallery on this site so that you can be the envy of all.

That being said, I respect your privacy.  I have no intentions of naming names unless you want me to.  (Get used to the phrase "From Private Collection".)  I have some means of cleaning/doctoring simple images such that people's faces could be obscured if so desired---but I'm no miracle worker!  Please take a decent photo!

Some gore would be tolerated---most of you are hunters, after all.  However, be practical.

Feel free to submit images either to my e-mail address ( t.l.harbuck@gmail.com ) or to my father's address ( jharbuck@hughes.net ).  Again, I would encourage you to submit the following:
bulletA JPEG image that is at least 100 KB in size.  Your average digital camera set to medium quality or better would work just fine.  For the non-digital crowd, a 4x6 color print would be fine.
bulletAny information that you would like to include (or keep private) about the image.
bulletIf you want to submit an image (for nostalgia's sake) but do not want to have it shown on the website, PLEASE SAY SO.  Otherwise, we'll assume we have your permission.

If you have other questions, please ask.  Thanks.

Tye
