The News from ElephantToenails.com

Continuing with the series of identifying this toenail, I have another for you to test your skill.

The question today is “What Brand is this toenail?”

As we have already pointed out, a knife brand (make) could have been made on contract by a different manufacturer, so if you name the manufacturer instead of the brand, that is cool. It won’t win, but will get you honorable mention.

Here you go-

Today’s knife is actually a picture of three (I thought I’d make it a bit easier).

Asking if you have a favorite toenail is probably like asking which of your children is your favorite, and I realize that.

Over a Cutlery News Journal we are running the My Favorite Knife YouTube Video Contest. Collectors have an opportunity to win cash and prizes by shooting a short video about their favorite knife.

I was telling my wife about the contest and she asked me if I had a favorite from my collection. I was put on the spot for a second and realized, no, I don’t actually have a favorite- not a most favorite. It is like being asked which of my offspring is my favorite.

The truth is the knife doesn’t actually have to be your most favorite- cause if you are like me, you ain’t got just one, so don’t get hung up. Pick one and just pretend, for the contest, anyway, that it is it.

I’m expecting members of the Elephant Toenail Collectors Club to enter this contest. I can hear some of you now saying, I don’t know anything about putting a video up on YouTube so that it can be entered in the contest. I anticipated that, so here’s the deal- if you will shoot the video- I’ll walk you through the process. Follow the link above to entry form and details.

The contest ends the last day of April. The judging will end the first week of May and the winners announced.

Have fun and don’t worry about trying be Steven Spielberg. The winners will be selected on originality and creativity, not cinematography, per se.

The contest is sponsored by the National Knife Collectors Association, YouTube’s cutlerylover and CNJ.
