As I’m sure most of you already know, August 1st is Yorkshire Day! 
The day when all around the world, ex-patriot Yorkshiremen and Yorkshirewomen, and the blessed inhabitants of God’s Own County, (the ones with good memories and reliable calendars), celebrate all-things Yorkshire! Whether it be wearing a traditional flat-cap, eating a scone, wrestling a ferret, or sitting in the pub drinking a pint and watching the rain teem down outside, no expense is spared! Of course, there are also many renditions of the Yorkshire anthem ‘On Ilkla Moor Bar Tat’, sung by craggly-faced old Yorkshiremen, gurning proudly towards a white rose flag flapping about in a parky breeze, and possibly a pie-eating contest or two!
So my friends, I invite you to join in the fun! You could perhaps make yourself a chip butty, or learn a few Yorkshire dialect words, drink a pint of Yorkshire bitter, chew a Liquorice Allsort, drown a pie in Henderson’s Relish, or simply carry a Sheffield-made pocket knife. You could even just make something up!
To help you find inspiration, I’ll give away a Lambsfoot pocket knife. Not just any pocket knife, but the very last of the 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot knives, in ebony, handmade in Sheffield by Arthur Wright & Son.
Anyone can enter, please post as many times as you like, tell us what you have planned for Yorkshire Day, or what you did, imagination and good humour may help you win, photos very welcome. The best posts will go into a draw. I’ll ship anywhere in the world, and may even include a few other bits and pieces for the winner of this battle of wits. This is my 25th giveaway on Bladeforums, so please enter. Beyond that, all I ask is that, if you win, you carry the knife, post at least one pic in the Guardians thread, and don’t sell it. If you already have one of these knives, you are welcome to give it away to another poster here. Have a great Yorkshire Day!
