You all really impressed us with your cooking skills and your support of your fellow competitors. We also want to thank the talented and generous @docsmith for making a beautiful chefs knife for the contest. It was an honor for us to host this contest and we look forward to doing more of these events in the future. @atmemestable, @lizelle and @foodforsoul you guys rocked this contest! You should all feel proud of your work. Let me tell you that this week was even harder to judge than last week! Before we get to the winner we want to remind you that we are taking some time off and we will be back in October for season 3. So, keep an eye out for updates. Also, we do not have a photo of the finished knife yet. @docsmith is putting the final touches on the knife and will be done in a few days. We will make a post of the knife for everyone to see in a few days. One last thing that we will ask of the winner is to make a post about your knife when you receive it. We think that it would be wonderful for everyone to see you with your new handmade knife. *** https://steemitimages.com/DQmeGTek1uaahK3Y47kJn917cYVjsd2aSwZCUq4wEHWgCg9/DSC_1447.jpg *** ## The winner of the @docsmith hand-crafted knife contest is…..! ##
