*** This contest was closed on 2/21/09. The winners were FortyTwoBlades and Noshtero, but feel free to post pics and haikus if you want just for fun. ***




I just realized I have over 1,000 posts (I need to cruise W&SS less and get out more:o), so I figure it's time for a giveaway contest!


Unfortunately, I don't have anything really cool to giveaway right now. All I have to offer is either a never-used and never-sharpened SOG PE Seal Pup Elite OR a Spyderco PE Native. The winner will take his pick. :)

If you choose the pup, you'll get both the kydex and nylon sheaths. I know many aren’t fans of AUS8 (at SOG’s price anyway) and the knife screams tactical de-animator, but I think it’s a decent knife nonetheless…especially for free! You could always strip it, grind off the spine rasp, alter the handle, and reprofile the edge to make it a little better. I’m sure someone could find a use for this little guy.

For those who absolutely detest AUS8, the Native is NIB; it never felt right in my hand, so it was never used.

A few pics:

To enter, you only need to post three things:

1) A favorite outdoor picture (special/beautiful place, wildlife, you doing an outdoor activity, camping with the family or your goofy friends…whatever, as long as it’s in nature!)

2) A haiku to go with that picture

3) A pic of your favorite knife (please include the name)



I’ll close this contest on Saturday morning, 2/28/09, and have my lady pick the winner (based on the outdoor pic and haiku, but you must have all 3 things to qualify!). Ganbatte!
Edited to add: I closed this contest on 2/21/09 since it looked like not many more posts were coming in.


I’ll start:

Morning air and light
Velvet hills breathe underfoot
A soul awakes…calm.

ETA: And I apologize:o, but I'd like to keep this contest to North America only, to keep the cost of shipping down. And yes, that includes you Canadians :p

Reflecting its life onto
I contemplate, clearly, beautifully

Panes of gold glow bright,
Light burning living embers,
This land laid to rest.

My RC-3 halfway through being stripped for bluing.


Reflection of ice?

Oh shoot, is the black and white pic, or the leaf?

Haha, I was thinking the same thing! Sure thing Jake, and I look forward to your pics!


Love the greenery Rockywolf, looks like you snapped that one right after a good rain :thumbup:
 
FortyTwoBlades - thanks for the link, looks like it turned out great :thumbup: And yes, what is that a picture of?

It's a picture of a long continuous line of film in a mud puddle. I thought it was the strangest thing, the way it kept looping back on itself without mixing back into itself. When I took a black and white photograph the reflection ended up creating the appearance of the a treeline.

Thanks for the chance to compete.
