WINNER: So sorry about not getting to this Monday morning as stated in the OP!! Time got away from me with being off for the holidays. Nevertheless, I plugged in numbers up until the cut off time in random.org and the winner is post #2, Krissig12! Congrats! PM inbound!

Short and to the point.... this is a service-related GAW and is for a free blade re-grind or mirror finished edge on one knife. I don't do GAW's very often, so this is a great opportunity!

If you win you can choose between getting your blade's edge mirror finish on the Wicked Edge or (and this would be my preference for HUGE performance improving!) get your blade re-ground to a much thinner edge (if zero ground it will be micro beveled) and then sharpened on the Wicked Edge (finished at 1k hair popping toothy grit!). Either way this GAW includes me reprofiling your edge to whatever degree you specify.

*note that regrind work is done on a water cooled belt sander at low speeds

I am serious when I say this... but you have not experience the true ability of your knife until you have had it re-ground... ask a few people! This is a minimum of a $40 value guys! This will run until 12/21 (Sunday) at 10pm. I will pick winner on Monday morning on random.org and both post winner here and send pm.

So here are the rules:
  • Must have at least 300 posts and be a paying member
  • No knives over $500 for regrind work
  • Regrinds are flat grinds only unless I advise I can do otherwise
  • No knives with a blade over 4" for mirror work, and over 5" for regrind work
  • You cover shipping to me, I cover it on the way back (minus insurance - you pay for that whatever amount you want for the return trip) and will ship it back using the shipping company you used.
  • You may enter once for yourself OR a qualifying friend.
  • CONUS only unless you want to cover extra shipping charges :)

Shipping details will be sent to winner.

And now, some pics to for what you will be getting!!!
