So I just now noticed I am at 501 posts, this being #502.

Since joining this forum I have had an overall great experience with the community here, and the wealth of knowledge and generosity shared is awe inspiring.

That said, and now myself the winner of a flash GAW as well, I want to give something back, and with a 500 post milestone as well as my favorite holiday, the 4th of July, right around the corner, it seemed a perfect fit to make this happen.

To enter, post a comment with "entry" followed by what you love most about the summer, or your favorite summer time memory.

Restrictions are: at least 300 posts yourself, one entry per person, and a U.S. address (all 50 states incl.).
-Sorry Canadians (and others), but the 4th is our day...

Winner will be selected at no specific time on the tues. The 30th.

Prizes will include 3 Knives; Red, White, and Blue themed in honor of Independence day and all who've made it possible.

Red and White will remain undisclosed surprises until delivery.

As for Blue, here's the one spoiler;
Blue and Gold sparkled (like fireworks) Schrade Lady Leg


It's no secret I love little lady legs. They are great little cheap but handy blades and bottle openers, and great little conversation starters... I carry one just like this one quite regularly, and since I have a few, including more in this exact design, it was only appropriate to give one away if I'm giving away anything. The 440c blades are shaving sharp! (I checked), and all 3 Knives will be (L)NIB...
Boxes might be a little boogered up seeing as I opened each one to check out the product, but aside from initial inspection, none were used to cut anything save a few hairs on my arm...

Not an entry, but good on you for doing this gaw!

Yeah good for me if anybody entered, lol... 100+ views and no entries, apparently people hate the lady Leg that much, or just don't want free stuff not knowing what it is...

I can assure you all though that the other two are not schrade's or crkt's though if that helps... I know those aren't fan favorites around here...
(But I'm fine keeping all three as well, whatever's clever... I'll leave the GAW open till next weekend regardless).
:)
 
Entry. Love the extended days and the flowers. Thanks for the chance!

Entry.

I usually work late so a little extra daylight is great for getting chores done around the house. Florida is great for swimming in the summer as you just about have to go swimming to stay cool. Thanks for the chance.
 
Thanks for the opportunity! I like the idea of a less conventional bottle opener on a nonthreatening EDC and I don't own a lady leg knife, so I'm in!

Right now, my favorite things about summer is that everyone wants to get their dog a haircut so it'll be nice and cool. Since I own a dog grooming shop now, that means busy days (and a nice bit of change) for my business.

Entry - my best summer time memory is of the two summer seasons I spent during college years working on a road survey crew in a national forest in SE Alaska. We flw in by helicopter and spent the summers working in the spruce/hemlock rain forest. Nowhere to spend money, worked to save money for college. Beautiful country, with a beaver pond within 100 yards of camp. I may never see it again, but it was a high point of my life. :)
 
Entry, thank you for doing the GAW.

My favorite summertime memories are the many, many, hours of fishing I did with my Grandfather.
 
Entry

My favorite part of summer is when its over. Its too damn hot & humid down here!!!

Edit: ref post #29

Entry

The best part of summer is traveling somewhere else where its not so darn hot & humid.

On a serious note, the longer days are nice for knocking out the lawn and other chores after work during the week instead of on the weekends.

My favorite thing about the summer is the thunderstorms. First monsoon should hit us prettt soon now.

Thanks for the giveaway and congratulations on hitting 500!
 
Entry, thanks for the chance, I always wanted to try-out one of those leg knives, Summers spent with my grandparents in the country helping with their chores, they treated me like a king,,,,and I loved being with them.

So..... Since no new entries for a couple of days now, and dropped down to page five, I've decided to change the date to pick a winner...

Up to page 1, I'll leave it open through the weekend, and a winner will be selected on Tuesday the 30th. Hopefully then I get it in the mail Tuesday or Wednesday, and the winner can actually use it to crack open a beer during a BBQ or watching fireworks (or both)...

May the best man (or woman) win!
 
The wildflowers around here are something that I love about summer. Entry, thanks for the chance.
