Knife Contest #4: Win a FREE knife

Well the last contest seemed to zip by with Peter's nice win. I had expected a more difficult time and a little longer contest. I even had at least one Tip to give you guys.

You're just too knife knowledgeable. There is always someone at iKC who can deduce the answer....which is good. But it always seems more fun when they go for at least 3-44 days. You guys get me laughing I'll tell ya.

So, we will move forward with Contest #4.

I think it will take a little longer, I tried to make it more of a challenge, so I do have some Tips to hand out and a way to provide the tips without benefiting some players and leaving others out. I will probably start the tips on Day 3 of the contest.

The contest:

Photos of five (5) various pocket knives are below.
other data is below the photos, including the tang information for each of the five knives and the value for each. This value is the price that I paid. In some instances this is more than five years ago so today's value may be higher.

The Rules:

For each of the five (5) knives you must match the photo to the tang info to the price.

The photos are listed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The tang information is listed A, B, C, D, E

The value information is listed as i, ii, iii, iv, v

Pay attention to the rules

What do you have to do? What is the dang objective??

The idea is to match each photo to it's tang information and it's value.

So one answer would look like 1,A,i OR 4,C,v. These answers will be called "sets". so with 5 knives your full answer will include five sets because you need to match all 5 knives.

NOTE: the above "answers" are just for instruction they are NOT real "answers"

Giving your answers: You can provide one answer (five sets) each day

The contest will run for 7 days beginning Monday June 26th thru 5 pm Pacific Time on Monday July 2nd to give just over a full 7 days

Because I think this will be difficult I will give hints at times during the next week.

You can only give ONE answer each day, so you can give up to a total of 7 answers but if you give more than one answer in one day you will be disqualified

The photos, one group pic and five individual:

Knife 1

Knife 2

Knife 3

Knife 4

Knife 5

The Tang information

A: <R>/Russell & Co./Green River

B: U.S.A.

C: Shur-Snap/Colonial

D: Ideal K.Co./U.S.A.

E: Victorinox/Switzerland/Stainless/Rostfrei

The Values

i: $295

ii: $155

iii: $150

iv: $10.23

v: $21.58

Questions? Ask your questions before you make your answer. Once you answer for the day, the answer counts even if you had a question or made a mistake and gave the same answer someone else gave yesterday.

Prize: The prize is a choice between a Barlow, a nice advertisement knife or a nice vintage red handled knife from Imperial. I will post photos and the winner chooses.

The contest starts NOW

Comment by Lee Saunders on July 2, 2012 at 10:22: Monday July 2nd Clue:

The Monday Clue is: I will score your entries from this point forward in public and will score them like this:

Example: say your entry was 1Ai the first number (1) is always right, it is the number of the knife. So I score the next two. Let's say A is right and i is wrong as an example only I would score it as 1 of 2. I will do that for each of the 5 knives but I will NOT tell you what part you got right. So, unless you get both parts right and score 2 of 2 for a knife you still have some guessing to do. Make sense?

Where you get some help is from other guesses.

Robert and Steve: since you answered before I gave this clue and because your scores can help others you get a free entry for today only. So you can make a second guess today.

Robert Burris: Knife 1 1 of 2; knife 2 1 of 2; knife 3, 2 of 2; knife 4, 1 of 2; knife 5, 1 of 2. Total 6 of 10=60%, 1 "set" correct

Steve "Hog" Hanner: Knife 1, 0 of 2, knife 2, 1 of 2; knife 3, 2 of 2; knife 4, 1 of 2; knife 5, 0 of 2. Total 4 of 10=40%, 1 "set" correct

manager Comment by Steve Hanner on July 2, 2012 at 8:57: New day and a new guess! Good luck everybody!

1cv, 2bii, 3aiii, 4eiv, 5di

Comment by Robert Burris on July 2, 2012 at 8:46: Sorry, I just couldn't play yesterday, my guess is; 1DV....2BII....3AIII....4EIV....5cI...Oh well.
