500 Post, Give Back, Do Unto Others GIVEAWAY: Case Small Texas Jack ->WINNER CHOSEN

I'd like to be in on this Pertinux. I have been lurking around here for quite a while looking for my grail knife. The information given here in Traditional is so helpful. Only have a couple traditionals but they are of the newer ss variety which doesn't appeal to me. With so many collections photographed I'm sure to find what I've been looking for. All the guys here are so willing to share what they know, it's crazy. Thanks for the opportunity and Congrats on your dedication to the Traditional way.

I'd Love to be counted in on this.
I have seen and learned more in my short time here (these forums, traditional and all) then I ever knew before.
this place (traditional) helped me get a start on equiping my kids to wander awestruck down this road we as "knife nuts" are all on. (date stamped year of birth case trappers)

Proof of the above? that "peanut bayonet" in brets-ftw post on page one (post 5) is hands down the most tacti-cool traditonal ever a definitive FTW :)
although on a side note wouldn't dual wielding a pair of those bad boys be more efficient in ventilating hostiles? (don't forget to 360 jump before u fire!!)
 
That is nice and generous GA. The firs and most important thing I found here is other great persons with passion to traditionals, a lot of knowledge and owning great knives. :)

Hi ~P!

Thank you for the chance - I´m in :)

Why I´m here in Trad forum? Good question! The mainthing is the way people talk to each other. It´s like a nice living room. Some guys from any part of the world are sitting together and talking about knives. Light themself a pipe or cigar and have a drink (or in my case a beer). Everything is relaxed. There are discussions all over and new guys are welcome - not that kind of an sworn-in inner-cyrcle of any brotherhood.
It is just like with me. New to the whole topic - asking some question and getting great answers from guys who know what they talk about. But not from a higher lever - they (we) are at the same stage like me and every other newbee. These are one of the reasons why I use to spend so much time here. Great guys and a great topic to talk about! There are many other reasons: Competence and patience for example.
I entered this forum some time ago. Just had a Case Mini Trapper in Amber Bone. Now I have already a couple of nice knives around. And, which is more important, some guys I already consider as friends - though I have met them.

Thank you guys for all this!

Kind regards
Andi

BTW: Here´s a pic of a four kitten I found yesterday ... I mean the kitten - not the pic ;)

Hello Pertinux.
Im in.
Its a true proof of generosety to give a knife away you dont have but want yourself.

Just a few weeks ago I got a big shock and became frighthened I messed up big time.
I had got an notification of doing an infraction. It was a warning because of use of bad language and it was for sure an entitled warning because of use of a bad word. Even less good was that I once before used the same world when describing a trace of a bear I saw in the forest and also that time got helped with my way of writing. I should have learned that the swedish interpretion of the word and the actual american meaning differs in its ruffness.

The fright I felt was about the mere risk to be banned from this forum because of the ignorance to controlread my own post. I do know I have a few difficulties with writing in English so I always control for use of words and spelling as good that I can, but this time I missed the obivious.

I have been wisiting this subforum regularly for the last 10 years, often every day. I havent posted a lot but once in a while when I had something to add. But the reading of posts here is the most important regular amusement I have on Internet.
I have watched people come and go. Wondering where some of them went and can still remember old members not being present anymore and I feel the deepest respect for those whom have the inspiration and knowledge to post several thousand posts here. And the curiosity of new members like yourself that is willing to take an big and active part in this forum to make it the great place it has become.

I'm in if that's ok. I began my relationship with BF in the "General Knife" section, but quickly found my niche here in the Traditionals subforum. This place has got to be one of the most friendly and supportive communities on the web! I love the fact that there are people of all ages and from all different places here in Traditionals, and they're all willing to share their viewpoints and experiences with others. Some of my favorite things include:

1. Jackknife's stories. The only fiction I know of featuring traditional knives in every story!

2. Photos and input from international members. I agree with you on this one...I really enjoy seeing pictures of other landscapes and knives in other countries.

Thanks for the chance.

Thank you very much for your giveaway, it's the first time I post on one of this, because I'm new here.
But this forum show me two passions:
- a whole new type of knives unknown in my country

- a new hobby that I really enjoy, whittling miniatures

Okay, one of the things I enjoy about being here is the amazing diversity of knives on display here. This is one I never would have pursued, but after seeing so many pictures of it, it is on my list. I would love to win this one.

Diversity is what my knife collection is about, and as Doug said it is almost endless with slipjoints- although my grail slipjoint apparently doesn't exist, and I have yet to find a maker for it. This just means I have to make my own I guess!

I wear scrubs at work, and slipjoints are usually nice and slim so often I would carry them (at least until earlier this year when I got my grail clipped folder). Besides the diversity, the draw of slipjoints are affordability and the fact that they get used by members here. I don't care how much something costs, it should be used for the purpose it was made for. Where else besides with traditional knives can you buy 100 year old products that you can slip into your pocket and put to work?!? Try that with a 20 year old computer some time!

My last knife purchase, antique show haul- total price $40 for the knives! The small pearl handled one at top right is around 100 years old and I paid $2.50 for it! The pruner was the most expensive at $20.

One of our cats on the farm came from a 2 toed cat! Opposite end of the spectrum!
And I just found out that I only have those pictures at home, not on photobucket, so cat pictures to follow.

Thank you to all involved who make this such a mellow, friendly place to become friends in. That is the most important aspect of the forums in my opinion.
 
Im in!
Hmmmmm.....
I post alot, but I'll give some advice anyways.
Rough Rider knives are worth WAY more than they cost. Don't be scared to buy them.
Sod Busters are pretty strong too.
And, although it isnt really traditional,
The best beater, user, trasher knife ever, is a Gerber Paraframe 1. Takes more abuse than any other knife I have, and still works great.
Don't get me wrong, I understand that Gerbers have a rough name, But I swear to you, other than some Bladeplay and gets dull quick, It can handle Batoning, stabbing, throwing, twisting, prying etc and still work.
 
Congratulations Pertinux for 500 posts and thank you for your generosity. Your contributions to the Forum are greatly appreciated. As you like blue, I thought I would share this photo with you.

I have only just begun looking at more traditional knives. I have always been into more modern knives, mostly spyderco. lately the traditionals have really started to appeal to me. one thing i like about more traditional knives is that some of them still use carbon steel. this is very rare in more modern designs, and i really like carbon steel, as it often takes such a nice fine edge. i'd like to snag a TA davidson in the near future.
I would like to enter, if it's all right with the OP. Good luck everyone!!
 
One of my first posts regarding Traditional, still stands today;

AKC said:
This is Bladeforums. There are High Class clubs, Adventure clubs, Rowdy clubs, Kids clubs, and Front Porches.

Traditional strikes me as a Front Porch, one is to remember that they are a guest at someone's house when you're on the Front Porch.

Impressionable youngun's might be runnin around, the girls may be within earshot, neighbors that have to be lived with every day.

Cussing and rowdiness will only be tolerated to a point before the homeowner puts their foot down and requests that kind of behavior be taken elsewhere.

You want to loudly argue about the merits and faults of a Peanut vs a Swayback?, you go to your house.

If you want to sit back, relax and watch the world pass by while in the company of folk who appreciate the simplicity of a Stockman as well as a fine glass of iced tea, then you're welcome to.

Pull up a seat, relax...

Too many good folk here to polarize oneself from...;)

It was in response to a member that had a little "issue" with the way things were run here, let's just say calmer heads prevailed, and he's still around today.

I come by for the serenity, a respite from the sometimes lunacy of the rest of the forums. Hanging out on the slider, a cool drink and fair breeze....

I've also come to reappreciate the simple joy of a fine pocket knife. And the considerable amount of fiscal damage generated by that "appreciation" ;)

Congrats on the .5K!

If I'm lucky enough to win, please forward the knife to a deserving youngun, that would make me happiest....

ETA - Our boyz, rescues. Cool cats....

I like your quoted post. If it's ok with you, I'd like to save it for occasional use. :)
It's exactly what we're trying to do here in the Traditional Forum.
Nice cats too! Congrats on rescuing them.
 
I'm in please. I don't regularly post in traditionals because I don't own any traditional knife. I have been yearning for one though, and I hope that earns me an entry.
Thanks!
 
I would like in on this, please! I'm a regular lurker, but rare poster. I've learned tons about patina, maintenance of non-stainless blades, and the wealth of traditional patterns out there. Most of all, I've learned to simplify and to enjoy the pleasures of getting to know a single knife by carrying it daily, for which I owe thanks to forum member mnblade and his Live of a Case Peanut thread.
