1000th Post Give Away...Winner Selected

Congratulations NC, a deserving winner! and again congratulations to the Col for his 1000 posts and his generosity. This is what makes the Becker community a great one.
 
Thanks again for the GAW Col Defender and congrats NCSlice. Would like to see pics of it in action when you get it.:thumbup:
 
Thanks everyone, and esp thanks to Col. Kelley! I received the knife last night when I got home and its very cool! I've been way busy at work and home since spring hit but I'll try to get out this weekend and get y'all some pics.
 
Finally got a chance to get out a bit. Therefore I will provide the pics as promised and a short review.
Somehow I imagined a larger knife from the pics, to my delight upon receiving it, it's the perfect size.




This is a stout little guy with a good weight and balance. It's 1084 and came with a decent edge. I gave it a strop but haven't pulled out the smiths yet to get it hair popping which I'm sure it will take. The convex grind and gimping cut nicely in this....



The spine is nice and sharp and I got some good sparks off a rod but failed at getting good pics of that.
I really like this knife. I'll end up putting a patina on it eventually. I'll bring it to the gathering per the Col's request so folks there can check it out. Thank you very much Col and keep up the good work! Thank you everyone for the congratulatory posts.



I love hand made knives, tools, anything you use with your hands. They just have a spirit in themselves where you can feel a connection to the maker. Especially items such as this that was in the makers hands for hours. Good stuff man...
The lanyard it came with has a nice handmade antler bead, very cool! It even fits nicely in a spare tweener sheath.


Its already made a few friends...
