-18 years of age or older
-Must have been a member since at least January 2015
-Must post a picture of a custom knife that you own, or any other knife that you own.
-Canada and USA only. I would ask that international members would pay for shipping.
-One entry per member.
-The winner will be picked on Monday, March 2nd, at 18:00 PST

The Knife:

I sent this little baby out on a hunting trip with a friend of mine, to see how it performed. Well he got to use it quite a bit and was happy with it. No chips or rolls, and it skinned a Bighorn sheep, as well as an elk. It came back to me with quite a bit of patina on it. I cleaned most of the patina off, but there is a some patina visible where the ricasso meets the guard. The handle was originally finished with Danish oil, but it was not robust enough. I stripped the handle, and refinished it with Tru Oil. It has been used but is in great condition.


Here are the specs: It’s made from Aldo’s 1084 steel, deep coloured cherry wood handle, with a canvas micarta guard. The handle is very ergonomic, and is super comfortable in the hand. Balance point is right behind the guard. The blade has a scotchbrite satin finish. Comes with a leather sheath.

Blade length – 3 7/8″
OAL – 8 5/8″
Blade width – 1 3/8″
Spine – 1/8″

Comes with a signed birth card

Thanks for your generosity. I'm in. That's a great looking blade. :thumbup:

Most of my collection is old folders, so I don't have any pictures of a fixed blade, but here's something interesting:

 
I'm in! What a beautiful knife! I like the fact that it has already seen some down and dirty use and proven itself to be as functional as it is pleasant to look at. And look how well it cleans up! Thank you for putting on this generous GAW! Photo of my knives made by BF member Hellize from Transylvania, Romania. I love his work!

Tech challenged here. :-( I do own a few customs and there are plenty of pics of the production knives I own on line. When you've seen one Schrade Sharpfinger............
 
I'm in! I don't have a custom knife yet, or a fixed blade for that matter, so here is my ZT0770CF. Thanks for the generous give away!

 
I am going to skip this one Shane, as folders are my thing and this wonderful piece should go to someone who will use and appreciate it the way it deserves to be.

Great of you to do this, thanks.
