We are now closed to additional entries - let the selection of finalists begin!
I'd like to give a big thank you to everyone who nominated knives for the first annual Best Hunter thread. There were some amazing entries this year, as well as a lot of diversity. I'm sure the nominations for our finalists will not be easy, but will be fun no doubt.
Now we muat narrow it down to five finalists. The procedure will be the same as previous best Bowie threads.
1) Each member may submit up to 7 suggested finalists. You don't have to submit as many as 7, but don't submit any more than 7. Please take your time to carefully review all the knives.
2) Please include the post number where your selected knife can be found, and the number of the knife within that post if more than one knife is presented therein - this will help clear up any uncertainty in the case where there are multiple knives by a given maker among the initial entries. For example - a say post number 30 has 4 knives. You want the third. Put "Post 30, #3". AND DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE MAKER!
3) Your order or selection doesn't matter - one vote per knife up to seven, each vote counts.
4) Please feel free to include a few words about what appeals to you about any given selection. THIS is what makes the selection process most interesting.
5) When all votes are in, we add up the numbers (each time a knife is put forward by someone as a finalist, that effectively counts as one vote for that knife) and the top 5 will be voted on by polll in a new thread.
I will post my own choices later on. I'd love to do it now, but I just got home from work.
