Ok So here's how the competition works

I would like to make some of these knives available to Boards Members at a serious knock-Down price of €195.00 a price reduction of €80.00
One person is going to get a knife for nothing.


So How does it work?

The competition starts with members expressing an interest in buying a knife.

Each person then starts with a naked CPM154 blade as described above.

Over the coming weeks I'll make material available to Pimp Your Knife

Materials would include

• Handle Materials (Varieties of Timbers, Bone, Horn, Micarta etc)
• Fittings/Pins/Lanyard Loops (Nickel Silver, Brass, Stainless Steel, Copper etc.)
• Sheath (Right Handed, Left Handed, Coloured Dyes etc.)
• Lanyards (Leather Thong, Braided Leather, Couloured Paracords etc)
• Liner Material (Micarta in various colours)

This is exactly the same process as commissioning a custom made knife except you will be doing it in public.

So How do you win?
I'll photograph the resulting knives and the members here will vote to decide who has chosen the best combinations of materials and has built the best knife.

What do I win
The winner of the vote get's his knife for free (No Charge)


Fact is everyone wins!

The combinations are vast and each knife will surely be a one off original. Each entrant will be getting a one of a kind custom made knife at a fraction of what it would cost to commission a knife from me or any other maker. So anyone who enters is on a winner.

The knife voted Best Knife goes to it's owner for Free (He/She is definitely on a winner)

I get Business during a recession (I'm on a winner aswell)


How to Enter

• Simply express an interest below by saying "Count Me In"
• The entire process will be over by xmas
• If you would like to enter you will be asked to pay a small non refundable deposit €50.00
• Once the knives are complete you will be asked to pay the balance.
• Once the voting is complete the winner will receive his knife and his money back

Rules

• All normal forum rules apply
• Try to enjoy it. At the end of the day it's only a project to try to design a good useable knife.
• If you are lucky enough to buy or win a knife then it is automatically assumed that you are capable of owning and using it.
• By taking part in the competition you agree that I, anyone associated with this competition or any member or affiliate of Boards.ie will not be responsible or held liable for any damage or injury caused while using your knife.
• Anyone can take part in the design thread but you MUST be over 18 years of age to win or buy a knife. You will be asked to prove this.
• Entries are open until September 5th 2011 (If we don't reach the minimum of 5 entries by this date the competition will be voided). Anyone who enters will still have the option of getting a knife at the discounted price but there will not be a free knife with less than 5 entries.
• Try to stay on topic
• Do not post negative comments about other members ideas or suggestions. They won't help with the build and you will find yourself eliminated from the competition. (Slagging is welcome )
  
• There will probably be more rules but I hope it's straight forward enough.

So that's it, If you would like a Custom Made Knife for Xmas you just pay a €50.00 deposit now and the rest when the knives are complete.

In order for the competition to go ahead we need at least 5 valid entries. Entries are open until September 5th 2011

The number of entries is limited to a maximum of 10.
It's on a first come first serverd basis.
If you would like to enter just post a "Count me in" comment below


Finally !!!
As I said earlier the Knife currently has no name so whomever wins the competition the knife will be named after their Boards.ie username (e.g. If your username is "Grizzly 33" the knife will be called the Grizzly 33 in my website and marketing materials from then on


So what do ye think let me know. Any Questions?

Regards

Davy
