Hello friends,
Recently I have been the recipient of overwhelming kindness. I decided it was my time to sponsor another give away. This give away is only open to the traditional forum regulars. If you have no actual interest in the knife offerred, I will not be offended if you do not enter. I want this to go to someone who will appreciate it, carry and use it.
They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and while normally I am an original guy, I would like to take a note from our very own Duncan and hold a photo contest.
I will be giving my girlfriend of ten years, Katie, the agony and burden of selecting one winner.
_____________
Here are the rules:
No old photos allowed, please go out and produce NEW images.
Two types of entries will qualify you for the contest. One entry consisting of a photo of one of your favorite knives in one of your favorite spots. The second entry with no knife content, just a photo of one of your favorite spots, trying to portray something that makes it so special to you.
I ask if you shoot 50 photos of the knife please narrow it to ONE favorite. The same for the second entry. Two total entries per week only, please.
Locations do not need to be exposed if privacy is a concern, but a few words on why the spot is special to you.

Here is an example of a cell phone image of a favorite knife in one of my favorite spots. I have come to this spot since I was a child and it reminds me of my family and friends. I can zone out for hours and just have tranquility over take me. I am posting a cell picture because I want everyone to know, the entries will NOT be judged on superior equipment or technical quality as a sole factor. So please, if all you have is a cell phone, do your best with it and don't worry.
Here is an example of one of my favorite spots. My brother lived here for a few years and I would always visit him. He has always been my best friend, thus any spot that reminds me of time with him is a favorite. I also picked this as an example to show city slickers are welcome
Finally, here is a sterile scan of the knife up for grabs. It is a Great Eastern Cutlery Burnt Stag 73 single blade Scout knife. I bought this knife with no intentions of ever letting it go. It is VERY nice with stag that matches both in texture, color and thickness from side to side. The stag is what I consider to be the perfect thickness for the GEC 73. There is no blade play and I rate the pull at a 5-6 with a wonderful snap. This knife is mint, never used, new in tube.
I hope you all enjoy this through to the completion of the process. Thank you all for making this community what it is. I am always honored to be considered an appreciated member of this group. This will be open for at least a month and maybe more to get most of us well into warm weather and the beauty of spring.
So remember, two photos, one of the knife in your favorite spot and one of just the landscape
