Hi Duncan - Congratulations on your pending nuptials! I have found it wonderful, and this Friday is my wedding anniversary - Maggie has put up with me and my shenanigans for 21 years (plus a little before the contract was signed lol )

I will get a picture of me using a slip-joint - but here is a traditional fixed blade made by my good friend John Keidaisch (JK Knives) - I am using the knife to baton through frozen firewood on a cold day in Illinois in January.







I never said I was photo worthy lol -

I am loving seeing all the folks that I know from the 2011 knife project - I can associate the names with faces. Great idea for a contest.

Well, I´ve already added my face here on that thread - so I was out on the stream right behind my house and doing some relaxing.

Here´s the stream





Looking up the sky was very nice. The sky had the color of bavarians colors - as it already called in our (bavarian) anthem: "God keep the colors of its sky white and blue" Nearly the formation was right to the bavarian flag.



Kind regards
Andi

Hey Duncan, I didn't have a pic of myself actually using a knife, so I cheated and went ahead and faked this "knife usage" pic.
If it breaks the rules I'll bow out. I just want to get this going with some new pics.

Don't know if this counts, fishing alone, hard to hold phone & fish. There is a knife in my right hand, and part of me is in pic.
If it doesn't count, it doesn't count:-)

Not an entry, but I just wanted to comment;
First, Congrats to Duncan and Sue! A big step in life, and I wish you the very best!!
Next, there are some wonderful pictures on here - Duncan, you create the best giveaway threads, bar none!!
Finally, I'll have to come up with a pic or two worthy of entering this super contest!

P.S. Jake!! Did you survive the Owl attack??
Fes, I'm glad that fish wasn't a bit larger - rather fearsome!

Okay, I'll play. Here me with my knife of the month, a Case stockman. Congrats on tying the knot with your lady. May you have a long and happy life together. Thanks for the chance!

Great pics everyone! I am enjoying seeing our friends faces, owl attacks, alien creatures etc , and most of all, thank you for your kind words...I have only them in return to all you good folk out there-and thats for sure!
I would also like to take this time to apologise about the photo of me looking like I havent taken my medication-kindly supplied by our "friend" Fes, i must admit... my sharpening skills do lack finesse,if knives could scream - my house would be considered a murder house! and my stropping ability is the best in the land to be able to take a ( ok-ish) sharp knife into a perfectly safe toy for a young one to play with, I had enough last night and retired my strop to the cupboard.... so frustrating!
