1) Battle Pappy is the knife this Wednesday
2) This is the thread title:
Sneak Peek At The New Busse Custom Shop Bowie Knife! ! ! ! ! . . . .
Jerry's Post #1 of the thread or post # 8471188 to be precise, quoted below:
3)This model has been made before.
The email clue "buried six feet deep" refers to a coffin, ie, coffin handle.
The Battle Pappy thread has been responded to in the last 26 days, most recently on 11-24-2015, 03:00 PM ET, not by Jerry or Garth, but that was not the requirement of Jerry's rules. The ambiguity is what makes it so clever.
The specs & description are in the Jerry's post and though Jerry could have edited it in if necessary, there was no need to as the thread has been around a while with the info already in place, hence, "Cleverly buried in one of the threads that has been responded to in the last 26 days is the clue that points to the Next Offer that will go up this Wednesday (12-16-15).".
As for the other clues, or possible distractions mentioned in the contest thread by Jerry AFTER the rules were posted:
You have to drink enough [Battle Pappy] to have blurred or double Vision which could cause things emerge from the shadows.
Sherlock Holmes was always solving mysteries, sometimes referred to as gravel, more gravel equals more mystery. An obscure post from 27 July 2010 buried in a recently responded to thread is quite a mystery.
Jerry is an English pro and the following are synonyms for gravel as a verb:
riddle,
stump,
puzzle,
escape,
confuse,
confound,
stupefy,
dumbfound,
bewilder,
flummox,
discombobulate,

bedevil,
perplex,

nonplus,
pose,
baffle,
stick,
throw,
mystify,
elude,
befuddle,
fuddle ................all of which is he is most certainly good at! :thumbup:
So Jerry, did I crack thecoffincase?
