I usually try to come up with a contest for giveaways that involves some kind of puzzle or information sharing.
Not this time.
This giveaway is shamelessly designed to encourage support for Bladeforums and W&SS.
Here is the prize:
A Randall Model 8 (late model)
This knife was famously used as a survival knife by Air Force Pilot Gary Powers while he was flying U-2 aircraft.
Less famously, this has been carried by me on several hiking, camping, and fishing trips. Nevertheless, it is in near mint condition. (I polished it up for y'all a bit
, but it has a few light scratches on the sheath and a little persistent discoloration on the blade.)
Man, I thought I was ready to give this knife away, but handling it again, I am starting to doubt my resolve. A 4" blade tip to hilt. Very comfortable stag handles. Easy to sharpen O-1..... Only for you guys here on W&SS.
Remember, if you don't want to enter some silly contest, and can wait 6 months or so, you can order a brand-new Randall Model 8 from A.G. Russel (for $490.00).
Contest Rules:
1. You must be a Gold, Platinum, or Knifemaker member of Bladeforums. If you aren't, upgrade your membership today!
2. You must have made 4 meaningful posts in W&SS in September (still a few days to make a thoughtful post or two). I'll be the final judge of what constitutes a thoughtful post. Bad spelling won't count against you, but drivel will!
3. You must be legally able to own this knife. WARNING: Half the top edge is sharpened. It is not a "false edge".
4. To enter--using your new GOLD membership--just enter a post on this thread to say, "I'm in!". Please just enter once.
5. The winner will be drawn Thursday, September 30, 2010 using a random number generator. No guessing, no weird clues, no wackiness. Just a random drawing.
Best luck to y'all. I hope the winner will post pictures of this sweetie in use!
