Congratulations to the winners and to the judge who did a fine job!
Hope the judging did not scare you away from participating since the judging is far harder then the picture making itself! :winking-tongue
Definitely agree about the judging being harder cuz different photos have different merits and its VERY hard to decide which is "better."

Indeed the styles and even the knives itself seem to differ hard every week so it can really be difficult. Years ago they were more entry's but the lower quality back then made it easier to pick winners. Now with even smarthphones taking crazy good pictures that is a thing of the past. But again you did great ! :beaming-face

Thanks for the nod, kriezek.

Plenty of good photos again.

I hope I'll have an equally hard time picking one this week.
Let's see some good ones.

Received the Kapara, very good thing this thing ! The customization on the Valloton helped me reduce its price heftly though, and that's good for Robin !

Thanx Dan ! Yeah, and since it's very smooth, it can even be dangerous if handled without a proper grip, I had it try to throw itself out of my right hand on one opening :grin-sweat . Now I'm careful ! People I know keep saying the factory scales won't stay long on it. I don't get why they say that :hand-over-mouth

Exactly ! The Kapara screams Micarta ! For me combination of smooth scales and thin shape . Scale upgrade could change my opinion . Dan
