Yes and no
While I appreciate your efforts at alleviating my discomfort and fixing my picture
, I don't use filters or editing of any kind other than edge cropping or zoom on pictures I take. I guess I've dabbled, but in general I feel it's cheating. It won't erase the picture in my mind's eye which, in spite of your efforts, still only sees this

I understand. I no longer have a studio where I can set up my photos so for me it is easier to do some post editing.

hI DOG, a FEW YEARS AGO I began looking for a car rescue tool and checked out a lot of models. I eventually found this Boker designed by a former Police Chief. I carry it in my car primarily if I come upon an accident where I can use it to help somebody.
It looks well suited for the job. Good choice.

Nice shots. I think that the weathered wood made a good background, especially for the Queen.

Do you know how good these are? I can’t remember the last time I acquired, carried or used a knife this small. This Kronos is so well made that the transition from liner to backspring to liner looks like one piece

That run up on Moki’s is what convinced me to stop collecting Case knives and focus on Moki’s and other Japanese high quality knives. The precision and tolerances on a Moki is like no other knife, not including custom knives. GEC does a pretty good job of keeping their run ups tight but still doesn’t compare to Moki.

I’m going to get ripped for this but after years of collecting everything from inexpensive Asian knives to expensive customs and many GEC’s I’ve come to the conclusion that GEC is highly overrated. How can collectors justify saying about their lockbacks that bladeplay is expected in that pattern. Or, comparing how sharp their knives are straight from the factory is poor. I don’t want to hear that I always put my own edge on a new knife anyway. Sorry this turned into a bashes because many of the GEC knives I owned were special. It’s just that they’ve become unassailable.
