Want to play...
We like to chop. Well lets see some of your favorite choppers. I want to see some of the biggest knives/swords on these forums, and just to make it more interesting let's turn it into a contest.
Rules:
The objective of this game is to be last player to out do the competition by posting a photo of the Widest, Longest, or Thickest knife on these forums.
* but read this meassage carefully first *
How it works:
1) This game is open to those 18 years of age and over. By entering this game you are certifying that you have reached your 18th birthday.
2) I am going to start us off by post a picture of a knife. The winner of this contest will get to keep that knife, but you are going to have to play by the rules to win.
3) Each knife model can only appear on this thread once. Once someone puts up a picture of an 18" AK Khukuri, no other 18" AKs can be posted. Even if your example was made by a different maker, or differs in handle materials, it would still be disqualified.
4) Each post must:
a) Include a picture of the knife
b) Provide the Overall Length (OAL) of the knife (less sheath),
Maximum width(Edge to spine), and Maximum Thickness (of the bare
blade stock - not the handle, sheath or anything else).
c) State the dimension on which you win. For your entry to be
accepted it must be BIGGER than the previous entry along one of
these dimensions, and it cannot be BIGGER along the same
dimension as the previous entry.
Example:[/b}
Entry for knife "A" reads: OAL= 15 inches, Width= 1.7 inches, Thickness= 1/4" - win on Length
Wins: Knife "B", OAL=10 inches, width=2 inches, thickness=1/8 inches- win on width
- Or -
Wins: Knife "B" OAL=10, width=1.5 inches, thickness 5/16 inch - win on thickness.
Disqualified: Knife "B" OAL=20 inches, width=2 inches, thickness= 5/16 inches - win on length*
* remember you cannot win along the same dimension as the previous entry. If Knife "A" won on length you must win on one of the other two dimensions.
5) Disqualified knives may be posted again. But someone may barrow your photo and post it as their entry, so be careful. Knives are only compared against the immediately preceeding qualified entry. So plan your strategy carefully. If someone makes a mistake and gets their knife disqualified, it might also disqualify your entry. So check the previous post carefully.
6) So what is a knife/sword? For our purposes as long as the blade is longer than the handle, intended to be used as a hand tool (eg no 50 foot machine blades), and the "knife" can take a cutting edge, its allowed.
7) Contest starts when I post a picture and ends Friday April 26th at 7PM.
8) Prize will be shipped ConUS. Winners beyond this area will be responsible for additional freight.
