I separated the entries into four membership groups, and tried to gift somewhat appropriately.
I used a RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR TO PICK EACH WINNER...
WINNERS: PLEASE PM me..(or on my Profile page) your full name and USPS mailing address so I can get these out to you. And..identify yourself also by USERNAME.
I have notified each winner by a post on "his" Profile page.

I've been long in the phase of "getting" new knives, and loved it. My stash is rapidly getting depleted due to my "age" (no laughing) and inability and unwillingness to use more than one knife at a time. And, I don't normally switch out my EDC, so the others just sit there.
But, occasionally it's a ball to be able to give some stuff (knives, tools) away to folks who may have a real need and appreciation. If anyone here won something for which he has no use...then please give it to someone who does. It will bring a smile to your day...and a warm memory for a long time thereafter.
best regards from Don aka Sonnydaze.

Wow!!!! That’s a solid group of winners there. Congrats to the winners and thank you Sonnydaze for doing this GAW. It’s a hell of a GAW from a hell of a guy.

Most excellent gesture on your part, Sonny.

I have received six of eight names and addresses so far.
They are packed up and ready for USPS tomorrow.
Thanx,
Don

I have NOT yet received any mailing info or acknowledgment
of their prizes from Connor_MacLeod and from aquaman67.

I have been POOR at checking any posts to me on my Profile Page, but now am aware and awake and somewhat alert and will try to do better.
...just not used to checking there in the past...and have left some folks wondering just where I am...


If I have not received any word from the two missing winners by Friday midnight (EST) of this week, they will have "lost out" and I'll put the two prizes back into the safe...they'll come in handy.

 

[Sonnydaze]

I need to finish this GAW...so please understand. Thank you.

Now have put seven of eight into USPS and emailed tracking...
One to go...if I can find him...or vice versa...

[Connor_MacLeod]

Sorry about my late response! And thank you so much for your generosity, I'm thrilled!!!

I'll send my info to your email address.

 

[DirtyPhill]

That's a very generous giveaway.

 

[Sonnydaze]

Hurray! I'm glad that Connor_MacLeod has shown up to claim the RAT 2.
His knife will be in the mail tomorrow morning.
Seven of eight gifts are wrapped; seven are mailed and tracking has been sent....as of Thursday, Nov 15. One winner has not yet responded with his mailing address.

 

[Sonnydaze]

Never heard from aquaman67....
This GAW is now over. I hope the winners enjoyed the stuff as much as I enjoyed giving it away.
Take care, folks.
Don
