I liked all of them Rick ! I voted Shaman even though the Manbug had CARDINAL RED flower accents! Ha ha ! Buddy Dan

Rick, I'm torn between the Manbug wharnie, the Shaman and the Millie in the rusty parts heap. Those are really good shots right there.

Edit: voted for the Shaman. The muted brown color palette of the wood and micarta contrasts nicely with the silvery sheen of the metals in the picture.

I voted Shaman Rick. Def my fav. But I really liked a couple you posted earlier this month. The rusty washer delica and your 4V Manix industrial shot. Not trying to make it more difficult choice, just putting it out there.

Manbug wins by a wide margin.

Great shots, Rick. I had a hard time choosing between the Manbug and the Shaman. To me, the way the Shaman is placed gives it perfect flow. I also like it because it is in your EDC environment where all of your knives get used and used frequently.

I think either one would win a calendar spot but I voted for the Shaman. My wife says she would vote for the Manbug.

That's funny, because I saw that impeller that I took the photo of the Shaman with one day and was carrying something else, but thought that could turn into a cool shot with the Shaman.

I do like seeing my personal top 3 of the 5 seems to be the majority of folks votes here...but that's not helping that much haha!

Appreciate everyone's input so far, thanks guys and gals!

Good eye sir! I don't, I work for a paper mill. Lots of business with Goulds and Sulzer pumps.

Voted Shaman, it's a great photo and more consistent with your posts...

Best of luck with whichever photo you choose!
So it goes.

I voted Manbug, but the Shaman is a very close second. All of these are great!

I was drooling over that Shaman, so I voted for it.

May I ask what Sprint that is?

It was originally the Cruwear, but I swapped those scales to the Rex45 Sprint.
