The parameters for both the beginner bracket (less than 2yrs experience or less than 5 total knives made with evidence) and the main competition are:
Blade must be longer than 8" from tip to heel (meaning all sharpened edge, not from the guard)
Must have a defined riccasso

The Main competition features one twist! All main competition entries must feature a HAMON as a prominent part of their design!
Entries require a minimum of 3 well lit, and well focused photographs featuring:
A full profile shot with legible ruler for measurement

The more photos the better, and be sure to include one for the slideshow in the winner annoucement video!
