I've often hosted give-aways when I hit post number milestones (e.g., 1000 posts, 3456 posts) or BF membership anniversaries (1-, 2-, 3-year). I knew I was nearing 5000 posts, and since my BF username is 5K Qs, I wanted to have a GAW to mark that milestone. I noticed today that 5K posts have come and gone (barely), so I'm posting this GAW thread.
For such an auspicious milestone
, I want to try something different. My financial commitment to knives is rather low-budget; I typically allow myself about $30/month for knives, and usually buy about $100 worth of knives every 3 months or so. It's been a while since my last purchase, so I'm "due" for another buying spree, but I thought I'd forego that purchase and instead reserve the funds for this GAW.
Here's the basic idea. If you'd like to participate, post an entry listing up to $100 worth of knives (traditional folders only) you'd like to own. Post only the brands and models of the knives, not the prices and dealers! I'll randomly select a winner and contact the winner to make arrangements to purchase and ship the knives. So you pick knives (again, traditional folders only, please), and I'll pay for them, up to $100. You may pick 20 $5 knives or 10 $10 knives (that's my quarterly purchase habit
) or 1 $100 knife, or any combination of knives with total purchase price ≤$100.
When you post your entry, please be as specific as possible in identifying the knives on your list: brand, model, handle material and color, blade shape, etc. If you can post "stock photos" of the knives, feel free to do so. And please verify that the knives on your list can actually be purchased currently for the prices you think they can!
It might be good to have a list of prices/dealers on hand if you win so you can give me pointers on where to buy the knives listed in your entry.
I plan to let this GAW run until 6pm EST on Black Friday 11/24/17. Have fun thinking up a list, and best wishes to all the entrants!
I hope it will be almost like Christmas in December!!
