I use two White Lightning studio 800 watt strobe lights with 42" softboxes. The camea is a Panasonic DMX FZ10. I photograph at 2304x1728 (4 megapixels) and reduce to 800x600 to post here.

Works for me. Thank you for the compliments.

Bill,
Excellenct kris. When I go to yard sales all I ever see is old baby stuff and lawnmowers.

Looks like the twised cores are coming out of the woodwork. It my be time to rethink our earlier hypothesis. This one looks like the equal of the one in the Definitive Warfare thread, and from the sounds of it, a much better price! Congrats.

OK, ok, a lot of people are asking price. When someone offers you a real deal, do you say "Gee, I should pay you more?" Or do you just say, "Ok, here is the money?"

I am of the second opinion. My friend was very happy to get his asking price because nobody else even offered close to it. The Kampilan, dagger and the Kris, total package, was $600.

I was very happy and he was very happy.

If both parties walk away from a deal, happy.....surely...its the perfect deal.

Lets face it.....to some people..'wasting' $600 on several weapons is sacrilige........But we all know, that many of us would have paid alot more,and still it would not have been a 'waste'....no wonder psychologists have so much difficulty understanding human nature...

It was a garage sale. At a garage sale you are always suppose to start out with "will you take...for it." It's an American Custom.
