A Post Christmas Giveaway - Winner JJ_Colt45 -

[Gary W. Graley]

Greetings folks, this is a Post Christmas Giveaway, mainly because it is starting a bit late in the season, but better late than never!

This folder was one that I picked out of a several knives that waynorth Charlie offered me as a gift one day a few years ago when we met up at the GEC rendezvous in Titusville PA, very kind of him to offer me one of several lovely knives and I picked this one, it's a factory sample as etched on the main blade so I don't know if there was a run of this model, I suspect at some point there was but being marked as sample that just makes it all the more special.

So I wanted to pass along my good fortune from Charlie by passing along this nice folder. I have worked the blades so they open a bit better now and also sharpened each blade to a nice keen edge.

Rules?

Need to be a paying member on this forum so as to help Spark to keep things running top notch, so even if you don't join in on this giveaway it would be a great idea to help support the forums.
Also the person that ends up selected I will need to have them contact me via the DM system here on the forum.

I would ask if you have recently won something in say the past 20 plus years to allow the new comers a chance, so basically if you've ever won something on the forum...you get the idea

So, please post in this thread if you would like a chance on this nice folder, I will draw the name of the person on Christmas Eve and have it mailed out at the next available day the post office is open.

Good luck everyone and I hope that you all have an excellent Christmas this year.

A very thoughtful GAW Gary. I would love to be included for an opportunity to win this beauty.

Thanks and I wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks Charlie, it's a very nice folder, my work on it just shined it up a tad was all.

And I did not make it a requirement that you have to be someone that frequents the Traditional forum a lot, as I welcome those real new comers to the Traditional style of knives and this might be the start of something for that person.
We all started some where...

Can I nominate someone?

If so I’ll throw a name in the hat for AusLoX

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Nominating someone else would be ok if they fit the criteria, but I would rather that they posted for it themselves so that shows that they are actually interested in the knife.
