I'm sure he will post a photo for everyone to see. It wouldn't be right for me to divulge his "gift" before he receives it.

Better late than never! I just got on the computer after a couple days away, and had a PM from Ed awaiting me. This is the first BFC giveaway I have won, and just weeks after Ed gave me a Silver Knight to replace my long time EDC from decades back. I feel as though Ed has adopted me! (Only kidding, Ed 
and the black lip SK is in my pocket as I type this!)
I will definitely post pics when my "present" arrives.
Ed is certainly right: Jesus is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas to all!!!

Finally got time to take photos and post up the "secret!"
Turns out to be a German Puma stockman in stainless and a very nice amber jigged bone. My first and only Puma.
Blades are a low glare "as ground" finish which I like, and they took a nice edge. 3-7/8" closed length.
Nicely crinked and swedged with no blade rubs. Pulls are smooth and about a 5 for strength, without half-stops.
Thanks again, Ed, for this generous giveaway. It sure made my holiday a little brighter!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhss and Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhs are sincere from CJ. That knife looks great. I have lost auction bidding on a Puma stockman more than once via snipe bids. They must be a well built knife. Great spirit of giving, and congrats Black Mamba, you are a worthy winner!
