Five knife GAW

Tyson A Wright said:
I hate selling knives - I have only sold a few, I'm not good at it, I'd rather just give away the ones I don't need anymore. So, as I'm working to reduce my collection to just those knives that I either carry a lot or have sentimental value, here's a five knife giveaway. Most of these were favorites at one time or another, and all have been used quite a bit - no safe queens here.

  • GEC 97 - heavily patinated, and has been resharpened numerous times. (This was my most-carried knife for a while, so it did see a lot of use.) Tube included.
  • Buck 110+ - used, resharpened a couple of times. Includes original sheath.
  • Victorinox MiniChamp - pocket wear, carried a bit, used some of the tools, but not the blades very much, so I've never resharpened any of the cutting edges.
  • Zippo-branded single-blade Case Peanut - lots of use (including trying to use this as my main knife for a month), resharpened many times. Scratched up blade.
  • Case Large Stockman - all three blades have been used a lot, and resharpened many times. The sheepsfoot is badly scratched up, and I had to sharpen a deep chip out near the tip, so there's a little bit of belly in that blade now. (This was my most-carried knife at one point, too, so it got used pretty hard.)
Eligibility limited to paying members with at least 50 posts on the Porch, I'll ship anywhere in the world (but it's up to you to make sure you can legally receive these, and pay duties and whatever else you need to accept them). To enter, please say "I'm in" and post a picture of a traditional knife. I'll draw a winner on Thursday, 5/22, and ship Saturday, 5/24.

You rock! (NOT an entry, just here to cheer everyone on.)

I wasn't intending to enter, but regret not commenting :) Well done Tyson, I never sell knives either, and largely because I'm lazy, and useless at it! :D Thanks for a very generous giveaway my friend, and congratulations Hatchet_Jack Hatchet_Jack :cool: :thumbsup:

The cuts nothing to do with the knives mind. 😁
 
I forgot to put in an update sorry. The knives arrived safely and quickly into Australia.

Again thank you very much to Tyson A Wright Tyson A Wright for such a generous giveaway.

I could have happily hoarded all of these myself as they're great knives and I really did love each of them. However, I felt it's best to share the love around some so I've gifted off a couple.

The buck 110 I'm keeping myself - I was looking forward to this most and I was not disappointed.

My boys are fighting over the SAK and zippo like a couple of lions tearing at a buffalo carcass so I'll leave them to it.

The case is going to fellow aussie mitch13 mitch13

and the GEC to a good friend in the states.

The 110 will serve me well for many years to come and will remind me of the kindness and generosity of the great group of people I'm fortunate enough to call my friends here on the porch.

Thank you.

Edit an action pic may help.
