Longtime lurker, infrequent poster~
I've learned a lot from these forums, and the exchange has helped me salvage quite a bit of my funds over the past few months, so I figured I'd give away a couple neat blades as a token of my appreciation~
Criteria: I'd like to see your photos of traditionals outdoors in honor of spring! Post a pic accompanied by a simple "I'm in" and whatever else you wish to say. Anyone is welcome to participate and no worries about international, I'll ship wherever. I'll let this run til Sunday and announce the winners via a random number generator. First winner picked gets their first choice of the two and the second gets the remaining knife.
First up is a friction folder from the Taurus mountain region of Turkey. Hand-forged carbon blade with black goat horn handle, bail with leather lanyard. Smooth action, but very secure friction in the open and closed positions. Blade has a nice toothy edge that I stropped until it would slice phone book paper and pop hair. A very quaint, regional working knife!
Next is the slipjoint variant little brother of the renowned Mercator K55K Cat. New and unused. 3" carbon blade with a black folded steel handle. Smooth action, no half-stop, and a decent snap to it. Decent edge grinds, slight burr on one side, should be plenty sharp once that's popped off. Point is blunted, but shouldn't take much to put a new point on there. Solingen made!
UPDATE: jackknife and ddml have been picked as the first and second place winners respectively!!
Take care all~
