Well, I just had to consult so many pages, usually when i come back weekly to check submissions, there's the core group of participants, it's so nice to see more ! (Dixit the guy who has not submitted in weeks....)

To make it back to you guys, I'm gonna use the excuse that I was working on a Native Native for a friend :open-grin

Good to see you back ! Scale work is incredible, your friend should be very pleased . :shush Buddy Dan

Bump for last day entries. I'll pick photos about 7-8PM Central today.

Winner for the week is this quite fruity Kapara. I haven't carried mine in very long time, but it's a great knife design and this is an excellent picture of it doing something it was designed to do, slice food.

Runner up is, of course, a knife and a fishing pole... Salty has been paying attention to the kind of photos I post, clearly!

Went to my favorite stomping grounds today, Skate Creek, with my wife @hvandyke34 and my dog Sweet Pea. I found this fallen tree along the creek and knew I’d finally found a picture worth submitting. It’s so hard to find something worthy to submit with all the great photos here. Hope you all like this one.

Great picture, I am defiantly on the lookout for the right Manix XL. Maybe a MagnaCut Salt or 15v would be pretty great.

A Manix 2XL in a MagnaCut or 15V would be awesome for my wants and needs too. I like that idea.

Thank you very much for appreciating the photo. But the Kapara knife itself is very beautiful and photogenic. And functional, of course :smlling-eyes

Thanks, it's my first time trying to "engrave" something, I did it with a maths compass with two metal tips to draw the lines and I then used a scriber to make everything deeper, took me some time but it did the job well ! I have an electric thing for engraving but it's so bad, I might invest in some actual engraving equipment later on, to make beautiful bolsters and stuff like that :grin-big eyes

I'd like to engrave some bone with something stupid like a stop sign or a kitty litter.
