I've been inspired by recent GAWs and the Pay it Forward thread. I have 10 or so knives I know I'll never carry. They're a mix of traditionals and moderns, new and used. There's Kershaws and CRKTs and other miscellaneous brands. Nothing over about $30 in value. A couple would be good to practice sharpening on.
Here's how I'd like this to work: I'll mail the box to someone. If you like something in there, it's yours. If you like two things in there, they're both yours, BUT you need to put one unwanted knife of your own in as a replacement for the extra one. If you have extra knives, put them in too and pass it on. Worse case scenario, this gets passed around 7 times or so and dies. Best case, it continues for a while and in a year I'll be signing up myself to look at a whole new batch of knives!
This thread will be for:
1. Asking for the box
2. Posting a pic of the knife or knives you kept, the only rule. This will keep the thread alive (barely) and slowly reveal the contents of the MBoK! Exciting, huh?
Holder of the box gets to choose a qualifying question, anything like,"What brand was my first knife?" to "How long have I been wearing the same pair of underwear?"
*EDIT - There WERE no rules, but let's just be clear:
1. You should be a legal adult (21+) with an address a mailman can deliver a package to to request the box and participate.
2. You must be willing to pay for the $7 or so shipping to send the MBoK on to the next address.
3. Please select a knife and post it in a timely manner within a few days after receiving the box and have your contest to move the box onward within the week.
My question is simple: I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. Guess it.
