(I also smiled at the idea that your phone wasn't handy, but not to worry, I've got my digital camera here!)

There is not even much of a winner to choose this time because you all lifted the competition from a pure photo comparison to a deep rabbithole into the bike world. I researched so many things you brought up from Magura Brakes to vintage Cannondale.
Just great.

This time was really something special due to kinggos personal involvement into the topic. Very good choice!

A real easy decision is to stay away from christmas themed topic since "christmas presents" killed the competition last time.
And nooo, i do not want to see your prepared food as much as i like to discuss about.
Food photography is a league of its own imo and i have never up to this point shot a food photo myself with a camera phone that would not have profited heavily from the use of a real DSLR to make it look properly tasty.
Also, hobbyist food photography is a guarantee for sub par eating experience. Who in right mind lets food sit around only for seconds more than absolutely needed to take a lousy picture of it?
So i do not want to be responsible for your [soup] getting cold or tempura getting moist even remotely.

I am into knives.
Sorry for misusing this competition to have a peek into your drawer or tool box but it heavily interests me how you all cut things.

Knives is a bit limited so i came up with "cutting edge" for you all to troll my knife attempt with creative use of chainsaws, snow shovels or even your up-to-date tech Christmas present

Anyway, the man in the first 8min of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kiW6GYiJU8
is my, now late, sadly, father in law. Whatever you can see there I probably have at home. Horn handles, bone handles, kitchen knives, hunting knives. They might not be some of those crazy expensive japanese blades but they are true artisan work. And they do cut.
