So as I almost wasted my precious 1,000th post on offering a rebuttal over in The General Forum and caught myself, deleted the response and came over here to make my 1,000th post.
Why? Because I want to use it to say that the Traditional Sub-Forum is the single nicest place on BF's. So much community, so much generosity and never a fight.
You all make it that way so thanks for making a place I can go and feel like I am at home or hanging out with good friends.
I am not always as active in the forums as many folks here but I spend a lot of time at BF's and most of the time here in Traditional.
So I am going to GAW a Black Case SS Sodbuster Jr and a Victorinox Alox Bantam to some lucky Traditional Forum member. You must have some regular activity here in the Trad sub-forum.
Here's how it will work, if you want in say "I'm in" and post a picture of your longest owned Traditional knife. Something you may have had from childhood, teens or inherited from a loved one. Either way the knife you have possessed the longest.
If you don't want in on the GAW we would still love to see or hear about that knife.
The GAW will run through July 4th and on the 5th I will use a random number generator (not very "old time" I will admit) to pick among the entries.
I will start it off with my Buck 112 and my Buck 503. Both are from around the 9th grade. The 112 had the very tip chipped of so I repofiled by hand long ago. The 503 I mistakenly let the knife sharpening service the Health Food store I worked in to touch up and sharpen, it came back with a lot of metal ground off, I fixed it by hand on a stone long ago and it is razor sharp.
With the knives are an old Stanley wooden ruler and a Chinese padlock, both cool old stuff.
So thanks again everyone for being a part of this forum and good luck.
Billy
