[Steven Janik]

Please post your choice to win this category along with a photo.

 

[J. Hoffman]

I didn't see a kitchen knife award, so I think Randy Haas fits in this category.

 

[Ausbrooks]

I nominate Art's perfect hunter M35.

 

[J. Doyle]

I nominate this hunter by Bruce Bingenheimer.

W2 blade with nice hamon, copper and blackwood. Just super clean and practical with INSANE fit and finish.

 

[HHH Knives]

Classic lines and feather damascus make this one from Raymond Coon one of my favs.

[Lagrange]

Are you kidding me. Those other guys are in a whole different league than me. I appreciate the gesture, but really?

 

[Bruce Bump]

Yep really. Get used to it. Your knives are getting some well deserved attention.

Yea really Eric, I remembered this knife when you posted it and searched thru the custom knife forum to find it. That's a nice knife.....

Karl Anderson

I would like to nominate The Alaskan by Karl Anderson. His WIP shows how much detail he puts into his knives. The thread is here

[Steven Janik]

Hideout Bowie by Bruce Bump

 

[Brad Lilly]

Thanks for nominating my knife, but I'm in way over my head with this bunch.

 

[SHOKR]

pardon the ignorance and the non related post, but HOW are these not 'tactical'?!?! and use of natural material cant be the factor!

 

[Steven Janik]

In my opinion, these are hunting or collectable hunting type or historically representative knives. This could spark the biggest knife debate in history (not that I would let that happen) but I think tactical knives are like tactical or Black guns and are more military oriented..

Before we go to the final vote, I will let all the nominees make sure that their work is in the proper category. Hasn't been a problem yet.

 

[superdave]

Awesome works all. Congrats to all the nominees, you are all winners in my book.

 

[SHOKR]

lol no need for debate! thanks Steven for the clarification!
