Photo competition #3, with a difference -WINNERS ANNOUNCED + PICS OF PRIZES

Hey Duncan, no need to apologize for that pic, you look like a man on a mission to get some knives sharpened. :thumbup:
As far as the screaming goes, only God can forgive for that. :D

So glad to hear about all the changes in your life, they sound like it may be for the better. Take it easy and thanks for another fun giveaway.
It's always awesome getting to see what everyone looks like.
 
Lucky this aint no beauty pageant!!....My first attempt with a cut-throat razor.It belonged to a now deceased Australian who caught the largest land based Mako shark..The irony is i looked like a shark attack victim when id finished!...A closer shave youd be hard pressed to achieve,without the blood letting............FES

Nice to see the guys (and gals) from the forum .... :)

Kind regards

Andi, I think that #73 would alread have a nice patina on it if it was mine.
It's begging for some hard use.
 
Hi Johnny!

100 % agreed. The #73 didn´t get much use and I dont know exactely why... It´s a great knife, I gonna put it on more use in the future. That´s a promise :D

Kind regards
Andi

Dude, really? Is that some kinda doctored up photo or was it living in a mud-puddle in Roswell, NM? Sucker has butterfly wings with eyes on it. I'd put a knife in its head too. Geesh!
 
So I was trying to take a photo of myself doing, hitting the camera button with my toe

I REALLY don't like having my picture taken, but had my wife snap a quick one of me...here I am "grillin'"...rack of New Zealand Lamb, Yam, and a summer squash...
100 degrees in the shade...used my SVORD for food prep and slicing the rack up ;) I like my SVORD...

We lost power for about 18 hours or so last year when Irene went through. Since we had nothing else to do, my girlfriend and I went to the beach with another friend of ours. I took along the machete because i was expecting to have to be adventurous and clear all the downed limbs so we could get to the water. Alas, no limbs were down, so I had to find other ways to entertain myself.

"It's coming right for us!" There were a bunch of ghost crabs running around out there, and my dog just loved trying to chase them down.

Of course I chopped down this tree. How else would I have gotten this comfy seat?

They needed a bigger boat.

And here are a few from our trip out to Montana last year. My girlfriend won a trip to the Marlboro Ranch, and was nice enough to take me along.:D

I can take this home with me right?

Jake -that truly is the THRONE OF ROCK.
Fes -have you ever noticed in olden photos how they all have huge beards? That was because of the straight razor(hence named because it goes straight to nearest vein).
I can attest to this from back in 2007.

I'd managed to scrape off some whiskers and then the merest touch with the point and voila my most embarrassing photo ever.
Embarrassment potential - 9 out of 10.And guess what .It was on Xmas eve. How stupid can yer get?
