Thanks

... to Tony G for his advice on getting a CG NMFBM. They are indeed a little bit thinner and lighter in hand. :thumbup:

And thanks to the HOG who hooked me up with this CG version! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Is it an optical illusion, or is the CG slightly longer than the LE?

I'm pretty sure that's camera parallax. I had to move the lens down closer to the CG version in order to get some of the reflection out of the LE blade.

Those LEs are hard to photograph even in natural light. The convex contours make for some consistent lines/reflections on the blade. This was the best I could do. However, the handle would look better against a more contrastive background.

Edited to add: This one is my favorite so far though. The angle makes it look like one heckuva big honker.

Oh it hurts, it hurts.

Thanks for making me cry.

Very nice though :thumbup:

Thanks for sharing.

It's okay. I cried a little bit both times when I unpacked the boxes.
