Entry has ended. Thank you all for the participation (and laughs)!
Congrats to the two winners, nopyo & Doc182. Thank you to all who participated! And a big thank you to BF!
I have two blades that I don't really carry anymore.. both are "projects" -- the first is a Kershaw RAM. It's the first knife I ever tried to modify and I got stuck realizing I should leave this to the pros! I stripped the anodizing on the handles and attempted to remove the beadblast finish (only partially completed). Realized I didn't know what I was doing and the "studs" on the blade proved challenging.
The second is a Recon 1, my second project ever, much more successful. It was stripped and given a "spanto" tip (ala hinderer) as I was feeling a little sellers remorse after letting my xm18 go... it actually turned out great and I sent the blade off to be stonewashed after the fact. Unfortunately after the stripping of the backspacer the clip screws no longer all fit (only one actually grabbed threads the other were ironically stripped).
Both function perfectly with their flaws but I don't carry them (recon 1 is too large for my taste) and I'd rather not sell them.. hoping someone will want them for their own projects.
Rules:
- Your post # is your entry.
- U.S. Residents Only Please (don't like messing with international shipping).
- Minimum post count of 25.
- Your post MUST contain a humorous joke (I don't know why but it sounds good).
- If your joke is not humorous the entry still counts it just means you failed a little as a person.
- One post per person please!!!
- You must post which knife you want (Recon or RAM) -- Choose one.
- Winners will be randomly selected using excel random function (if your post contains no joke, it will not count!)
- There will be two different winners, one for the recon 1 and one for the RAM.
This contest will end on 9/30/14 at which point the min (2) and max (final post # before midnight) will be used to define the random selection. Winners will be announced and contacted the next day.


May the odds be ever in your favor!
