I had my wife (who is easily sharper than any blade ever forged) choose a post at random, and she selected #32, so knifecollector73 is the winner! I think this is karmic because kc73 just hosted a gaw in honor of his birthday, for an Opinel I believe. So happy birthday (consider this your gift!), and please send me your shipping address via email. We're expecting an ice/snow storm in Maryland tomorrow, which means I will likely wait until mid-week to post.
Thank you to everyone who entered. I purposely opened this gaw to all members of bf (instead of just traditional "regulars") to entice people who may have never visited this sub-forum to come take a look; I hope you liked what you saw and drop in more frequently. Also, to those who didn't enter, but took the time to post encouraging words, thank you for your kindness. Blessings to all.
