I'm in. Thanks for the giveaway!

The only nailbreaker I've had was a cheap-o KaBar Hobo knife (the one that doesn't come apart) that I got for camping. I'm pretty sure the one I got was just defective, as opening it using needle nose pliers was a rather difficult. The spoon, fork, and bottle opener opened just fine. The blade was the only nail breaker on it.
 
In please and thanks for all your posts. Your comments have always provide a great relief from the daily doldrums. Keep em comin!

The 5,000th Post “Strong Nails” Giveaway.

Ok, so I just hit 5,000 posts (whoohoo!). In recognition of such a ridiculous feat, I’m giving away a 100% brand-new-in-tube GEC Tidioute Cody Scout Jack in Black Linen Micarta (see pics below). Very nice knife, but it too has a ridiculous side – the back springs on this thing are Ridiculously Strong! It’s gotta be a 9 out of 10 on the “pull” scale. It’s an absolutely beautiful and well-made knife otherwise, though, just tough on the nails.

So consider that to be fair warning, y’all – please only enter this GAW if you have strong nails (or if you use an opening device – I’m familiar with those). Anyone who has NOT won a previous Giveaway may enter, and a simple “I’m in” will suffice, but feel free to share stories of other knives that were ridiculously hard to open. One other thing, I will only cover shipping withing the United States - if you are outside of the U.S., I will ask you to cover the shipping expense.

The winner will be chosen randomly by my better-half after there are a sufficient number of entries (“sufficiency” to be determined by me, as ridiculous as that may be). And just as an aside, I have two of these - I'm keeping the other one for myself as it's a permanent part of my haversack "woods kit." It's a great companion (if you can handle the pull).

Cheers,

Derek…

Thats a gorgeous little knife... Ive never won a giveaway... so im in!!!!! :)

Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Youve inspired me to do a giveaway..
 
I'm in.

I don't have any quality traditionals in my lineup, so hopefully this will let me add one. I love micarta, so that's a huge plus! I have pretty strong fingers from playing guitar, I use thicker than normal gauge strings so I think I can handle this. This is a pretty generous giveaway, thanks for the opportunity:thumbup:
 
Congrats on hitting 5K! Very generous GAW. I have a Kissing Crane cocbolo sodbuster with crazy pull as well. That sucker is one heck of a secure slippie though.
