I have no idea what I'm going to give away, except that it'll be a knife! I need to figure out which one. Guess you fellas will just have to wait in anticipation......
So....I'm not going to tell you what knife I'm giving away. But I'll make it a good one. At the time I'm starting this thread, I have 1964 posts. When I hit 2000 posts, I'm going to use a random number generator and pick a number. I don't know how soon I will hit 2000...maybe in 2 days, maybe in a month.
Once I pick the winner, then I will post a picture of the knife I chose to give away. So it's kinda like a surprise party, where you know that you're having a surprise party but you don't know who will be there. It's not a surprise that someone will be winning a knife, but it'll be a surprise what knife that is.
Rules: Except as otherwise provided below, 1 post only. Must be a regular contributor in Traditional. You must have complimented me on my knives on multiple occasions. You must think I'm awesome. And you most tell me your 1 favorite knife. I don't want to hear that you have a 100 favorite knives and it just depends on the day. I don't want to hear that you love all knives so it's impossible to have a favorite. I want to know your 1 favorite knife. Sorry if it makes you guys actually have to think for a few seconds...but that's the rules.
Additional Rules: These are opportunities to get an extra posts. You have to PM some resoponses to me, which means you must at a minimum be a Basic Member. (a) For the Camo Shirt, you can post that in your post. (b) for the Unicorn, you can post your essay in your post. (c) For the name of the person who gave me the 4th of July knife, you must send me a PM...do not post. (d) if you figure out the knife/maker shown by the handle/blade below, you must send me a PM...do not post. I don't want people seeing others posts and then just swiping the answer and sticking it in their post.
(a) If you point me in the direction of an old LL Bean Chamois brown/green camo shirt in size L or XL, I will let you do 2 posts. Now I'm not saying that I will take that as a bribe for an additional post, but think of it as a treasure hunt and I just want to see if someone is willing enough to find and show me this item, despite the fact that said person has no idea what kinfe he could potentially win.
(b) You must deeply analyze this picture. Find yourself in zen. Do this because I think the excitement about this knife will be too much, and you need to meditate on the sweet old lady in her hover-round atop the magical unicorn in front of God's glorious rainbow. This will help keep you sane while I am thinking about the knife to post. So your chore to get a 2nd bonus post with this tidbit....you have to write me about the meaning of this picture, and how it inspires you. If this is how you want to get 2 posts....post your mini essay in your response.
(c) You must tell me which fine gentleman who frequents these forum gave me this knife, as it is getting close to July 4. This will not be the give away knife, but it tests your knowledge of which knives have roamed these forums over the year. This will also earn you 2 posts.
(d) And finally, from the picture of the handle/blade below, you must tell me the maker (if you know the pattern, all the better). This will get you 2 posts.
Ok. I am Done. Thank you. Go gett'm. And yes, I'm bored with insomnia while writing this, so it's obviously a bit crazy
