I could not have had this kind of gaw without the help of those who donated knives and theirs services. I know we would not had raised the amount we did without the contribution of those. Thank you to those made this give away happen. The gaw probably would had not even raised half of the amount reached without your help. I really do appreciate you all.
I appreciate the kind words and wishes as well. The community here on the forum is what we make of it and you all are proof there is goodness and charity within the threads. I would not have joined if it was not for the community. I would have simply read the threads, gathered the knowledge I want, and moved on. However, folks of your caliber provide an environment that is inviting and knowledgeable.
Thank you to the mods and Bladeforums for allowing this gaw to happen. The leading edge of knife discussion is also the home of some of the best people out there and the mods keep it that way.
All the winnings have been selected and I will have them mailed out asap and shoot the tracking numbers to those I am mailing to.
Thank you again for giving!! May we all find ways to continue doing so during a time that needs a little light and charity.
Merry Christmas.
