A hike with two free knives: JK 2nd Anniversery Knife and Chris Reeves Shadow IV

[Wildewinds]

So some of you may remember Stomper's anniversery knife design contest (here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=737531). I was fortunate enough to win with my design.

On July 4th, one of the fellas here, Rotte, held a contest (here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=754210). I was very lucky and I guessed the right battle.

I received both knives on the SAME DAY in July. Two awesome FREE knives on the same day? It was sweet. The JK knife also came with a really super nice sheath from Noah at Wasteland Leatherwork. I didn't have a chance to get out with them for a few weeks, but here, finally, are some pictures from a hike I took with both of them.

I used the JK Anniversery Knife on the way in, and the Chris Reeves Shadow IV on the way back.

Great looking knives. I liked that design from the minute I saw it! Great pics too.
As someone who has recieved a few knives from folks on this forum, I'd like to say thanks to all who make this such a great community. This really is a great place to hang out and talk about sharp things!

Congrats on your awesome prizes. The Shadow has always been my favorite CRK pattern. Nice job on your winning JK knife design too. Oh yeah, that looks like a sweet hiking spot.

The more I look at the JK Knife the more I like it. Especially the thumb ramp.

I have the CRS IV and love it. Razor sharp and very well made.

That is a great looking JK knife and sheath. Nice CRK too, but nothing is the same as getting your own design put to life

 

[TNRat]

Both are great designs. I love 'em. Thanks for the great pics.:thumbup:

That JK looks beefy. Looks like the handle is super-comfy, too. The sheath is GORGEOUS! I own a Shadow IV. Bought it while in Alaska back in 97. I absolutely love it. If you haven't already considered it, I would recommend sending in A COPY of the certificate of authenticity/guarantee card to Chris Reeve Knives and register with them. Probably a good idea since, as you probably already know, the "One Piece Concept Knives" are no longer produced.
