Happy Holidays to all.
Computer problems are limiting my ability to post up the full rules, but you all should know them by now. I will cut and paste from the 2012 thread when I get things sorted out.
Until then, let's see your faves from 2013!
What types of knives are included?
This is NOT an attempt to define the bowie knife in either historic or contemporary terms. While I appreciate that people have strong feelings on the subject, no-one is in possession of a conclusive, exhaustive and universally-accepted definition. As with all past years, bowies, fighters, camp knives and generally any fixed blade that meets the size requirements are welcome to be included amongst the nominees. Both stock removal and forged blades are equally welcome. Daggers are excluded, as are Khukuris and traditional Tantos.
Requirements are:
1) Blade length 6" and up.
2) Knife must have been made or first shown on Bladeforums in 2013.
3) Must be a custom knife.
PLEASE DO: number each knife in each post, starting with the number 1.
PLEASE DO NOT quote earlier posts and reproduce the images contained therein (this really messes up the voting for finalists.
Nominate as many as you like!
Here are a couple to get started:
1. Jerry Fisk Way of St. James:
2. Lin Rhea Gibeon Bowie
3. Russ Andrews Stag Southwest
4. Lisch D-Guard
