[it's been won] Competition just because I have a spare prize

[paulrbarnard]

I was at the Bath and West Show today and met a very nice knife maker called Oliver Davison. I've no idea if he is a member on here but I was quite taken by his knives. They are in the svord style and he had a good range of different handle materials. They have a very artisan look and feel to them which I found very appealing. He said the show had been a bit slow so I bought one from him as I like to buy things from local suppliers when I can. Now I have a few blades already and don't want to fall in to becoming a collector by accident. I'm keeping myself to a strict limit of knives that I use regularly. With that in mind I'm going to offer up this new one (as bought, I haven't sharpened it despite it needing it) as a prize for a 'just because' competition, call it practice for my first blobby. Normal rules apply, over 18's only, minimum of 100 posts or a subscriber.

Here's the competition. As most will know I travel quite a bit so guess how many flights I will have made since 1st May through to 15th June when I will close the competition. As a tie breaker, if needed, guess the number of Air miles I collected on these flights.

I'll add a picture of the prize as soon as I can take a picture. The knife has a pao rosa (sp?) wood handle. Check out Oliver's web site to get a general idea in the mean time http://www.ordknives.co.uk

Here is a quick picture from my iPhone. Doesn't really do it justice but I don't have much time, I have a plane to catch


So I'll start the guessing
