Excellent GAW; thanks for your generosity, Mark, Charlie, and Brett!
I really liked the "double suspense" of this format: there's all the anticipation of whose numbers are going to come up, and then, when you finally find that out, you still have to wonder who's going to choose which prize!!:eek::D:eek:
Congrats to RobbW - that red Washington jack is a beauty! :thumbup:
Congrats to KVaughn - another red beauty from the fabled anniversary collection! :p
Congrats to BMC - I like a beer now and then, too, and I'm thinking a glow-in-the-dark caplifter could definitely be useful on occasion! :rolleyes:
Congrats to Rockon75 - if I'd been "playing" and winning, my first choice would have been Brett's harness jack too; but you, sly dog that you are, had even more reason for wanting that knife, and held your cards close to the vest until the end of the game. Well-played!! :D

Golden GAW indeed! Lotta fun, everybody; thanks!

Received my Radio Jack from Charlie last night and I have had a smile on my face ever since. I won't be posting any pictures yet as I need to make a run to the store for some props to do justice to this wonderful knife. I can also promise it will be tasked with the most important duty this weekend during the big game. Now to the store for a suitable selection of beverages to honor this great knife and break it in properly.

Thanks again for the wonderful GAW and those who made it possible for providing these wonderful knives! Pictures to follow soon!!!
 
I received my HJ, Thanks again Brett. I'll take a pic of the new "pair" this weekend.
 
Here they are. Both from Brett, Thank you!!! We worked a trade for the ebony, and by chance the other one came to me from this GAW. My thanks to all. Now if I could figure out how to do these knives justice through the lens of a camera......

Mark, thanks for hosting such a generous giveaway, and Charlie, thanks for the AMAZING Washington Jack!! My budget was tight when they were produced, so I responsibly passed when they were available--but it wasn't easy! :eek::) I am humbled and grateful to have been given this Washington--and directly from THE MAN himself.

I post here, but haven't learned to post pics. So as a public thank you, I'll learn to take photos and post them, and will continue to do so. Below are my first meager attempts:

This is with the Morgan silver dollar that my grandpa was given on his eighth birthday by his father. He stuck it in his pocket and carried it daily for the rest of his life. I asked him why he never spent it and he said that he didn't know, just that it became more important to him as time passed. You can see it is worn smooth from a long life of carry, but still has a trace of the original face. It went atop his dresser at night and back in his pocket the next morning. When he passed, my grandma asked me what I wanted to inherit and I immediately knew--nothing of material value--I wanted that coin as a memento of him and what he means to me. Grandma gave me his coin but I only had it for a day or two. My brother told me that he had wanted the coin too, so without another thought I gave it to him and forever put it out of my mind. As a consolation my brother gave me grandpa's 8OT that he had been given. Well, over a decade later and out of the blue, my brother gave me the coin plus a box of other coins that I didn't know he had inherited from grandpa.





Here's one that shows the etch:



And one that shows some of the gorgeous figure in the bone, and three Washingtons!:





Thank you, Charlie!
 
Robb, a great thank you post:thumbup: I love the knife but the silver dollar trumps it all:thumbup:

I carry a 1oz. Silver round everyday...prior to that I've always carried a silver coin of some sort...never to spend, just carry:thumbup:
 
Great pics Rob :thumbup:

I never would have guessed that it was a silver dollar....Thanks for sharing. :)
 
Great post and pictures, Rob!! What a great story on the Morgan!! All through the years...a face that time can never erase
