This one is about as factory fresh that can be found. Thought you guys may like to see it.

no one beats JR's photographic skills

Jeeeeeeeee, just buy a good camera and press the button, no rocket science.

As a side note, nice looking dagger.

Going to MAX, Pat?

Hi Dave,

I would love to but I'm going to Hawaii with Toyota, celebrating their 50th anniversary in Canada and can't miss it or the Japs will be very angry.

Have fun !

If you knew what kind of camera he used you would be really impressed:)!

Trust me, a $ 400 will do the job if done correctly.
All you need is a minimum of 3.0 million pixel, a macro mode function, the correct lightning and some sort of photoshop program, a lot easier than you think.
All you need to do it right is simply to know how.
Sorry, ain't impressed.

Here's a picture taken 3 years ago with my old Sony Cybershot, MSRP $ 300.
All I did was to push the button and voila.

Oh boy, look this Eickhorn blade! This one is in mint condition! Love this blade JR!

JR

That would be a nice dagger to own, absolutely gorgeous.

Gary

Nice one JR! I have it's twin in similar condition

Simply stunning dagger

Appreciate and thank you for the kind words.

PS. incidentally, the photos were done using:

1.8 MP camera
no lighting props
no photo shop program needed
camera is 14 years old, and sold on Amazon for $50.00

:))))))

My camera and lens cost is roughly 3K and I have fancy lights. Still, my pics are not as good as yours!!!!
