(I've posted this first part before and find it still stands, save for my now hesitating to choose one favorite knife-- what was I thinking?!-- and thus amending number 2.)
A few things Im grateful to this forum for, in no particular order:
1) Pictures: In addition to the photographs you all so freely offer up all the time, so many of you graciously respond when I ask to see (further) pictures of the knives or features you mention along the way. I really appreciate that! I gain so much from being able to see real-life shots that enhance or belie standard company descriptives and official photographs, demonstrate the visual difference between features and knives, etc.
Not only that, but being a member here has motivated me to take more pictures myself, and not just of knives. (Imagine.) I am grateful for the continual inspiration to keep my camera handy and use it.
2) GEC. Id not heard of this company, let alone seen any of its knives before discovering this forum. I love what this company is doing, and how.
3) Our international members, and the different perspectives and experiences from which they share their knives and stories.
4) Knowledge, humor, and inspiration, in so many forms, the latter most certainly including the generosity of members here to share not only their insights but actual knives.
+--+--+--+--+
And now, The Giveaway. Before, I gave away a knife of more universal appeal. This time, Im giving away something that might not be for everyone, but which I happen to love-- a GEC #25.
Once upon a time, Finedges posted this picture:
I gasped in that certain swoony way some of you might recognize upon seeing a knife that hits a previously unidentified sweet spot.
Then this happened:
Months down the road, I still gasp at Finedges picture whenever I see it, then remember that I have my own little ebony #25 and resume breathing.
Today, I fired up the Pocket Knife Replicator® once more, and this happened:
(The Replicator® evidently specializes in this particular knife. Go figure.)
Therefore: A Giveaway, the winner to receive this new GEC #25, a great little pattern boiled down to its essence-- all steel, no shield, no blade etch, ebony.
To review:
Rules:
One entry per person; your post number is your entry number.
If you are a regular contributor here, an Im in is sufficient, although more would be great. If you can readily think of something you enjoy about hanging out here, please share it. Or a picture. Or something funny. Or something. (Flying Guillotine, I'm still laughing about tiny donkey.)
If you do not often post regularly but read and enjoy the goings-on here in Traditional, please do share something that youve learned or enjoy or keeps you coming back.
If you scan Traditional only to catch Giveaways, and your primary contributions to the forum consist of posts to the effect of, Im in, then to enter this giveaway would be unbecoming. If you ignore this and enter anyway, youve already lost. Also you wont win the knife.
International members are welcome, as long as the USPS safely delivers to your location-- meaning, once the USPS drops the package into your native mail system for final delivery, its not the equivalent of writing Steal Me on the box.
Im going to run this one quickly, with the winner chosen early this coming Monday afternoon (12/17; Eastern Standard Time).
Good luck!
