Christmas arrived early this year!

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks to d.r.h. aka Dennis, he explained how each year he does a silent raffle, meaning that from a listing of folks that he has dealt with over the years, he runs a random number generator thingy to select the fortunate person that will receive a knife from his collection.

I was surprised and delighted to get his PM about all this and today this arrived on my doorsteps. A friction folder made by Shelby Mihalevich. The handle is textured and oxidized copper. The blade is 2.375" - blued 1084

also came with a small slip sheath to help keep the blade closed during carry, the friction part works very well so it's not likely to come open on it's own.

Thanks again Dennis !

That is such a neat and generous thing to do. I am new here but I keep getting amazed each day. Wow.

What a neat knife, wrap it up again and place it in your stocking to unwrap again. That is very generous, Dennis. Plus a nice slip to carry it too.

 

[d.r.h.]
