Great giveaway Charlie
I would like to nominate Willpower for all his contributions in one form or another on this forum.

Awesome giveaway, Charlie! Several members come to mind, but I'd like to nominate glennbad for all of his contributions to the forum, chief among them, sharing his incredible skill and craft with us. I have him to thank for my most treasured slipjoint, my 93 Waynorth dressed in Stag!!

I would like to nominate Jack Black for this GAW. When you think of the "Porch", and the things that define its essence, I have to think Jack Black checks all those boxes. He has great knowledge & contribution to this forum.
Hats off for a great GAW Mr. Campagna.

 

[meako]

Definitely Rachel r8shell who restored my faith in humanity a couple of years ago.
Rachel paid for my BF membership.This kind gesture for me at a time of loss and great personal unhappiness.Thanks again Rachel and good luck.
Cheers Charlie.

I would like to propose my friend Will Power . Although this forum's denizens is comprised largely of American members, Will is one of the people that gives this place an international flair. I value his thoughts and input, which is always well-considered.

His tastes run the gamut and he likes knives of all sorts. That barlow will fit right in with his eclectic selection.

Great giveaway Charlie

We need Will Power !!! ... I couldn't have said it better

 

[joeradza]

Did I delete my own post? Senior moment? Oh well, I nominate Jack mrknife my fellow NY'er and because if he wins he won't have to tear it apart to remove an extraneous blade.

 

[Fodderwing]

I will nominate afishhunter
He would never buy a knife like this, but he sure would enjoy it!!

I second that nomination. He's a very active member and carries a lot of different knives. Plus his posts are always positive and fun to read and look at

That is a dream knife for any of us Charlie. Everyone of those put forward are worthy recipients without a doubt. I'm gonna also say afishhunter for the win. As already stated he would never buy such a knife but I know he would treasure and appreciate it. No matter the subject of a thread he is always quick to join in the discussion, offer personal insight and comment with enthusiasm and encouragement. A porch fellow through and through and I always enjoy his commitment and passion.

And thank you kind sir for such a wonderful GAW.

I would like to nominate "afishhunter". He would like this and he made me feel welcome in my state when I moved across the country. He messaged me and we talked about hunting. It was a small thing, but it stuck with me and that really made me feel better after moving so far and not knowing anyone. This knife isnt something he would normally get for himself, which makes it a perfect gift for him!

 

[hornetguy]

this is a wonderful thing to do, Charlie.... I'm sure that anyone would love to have one of your special knives... since JohnDF , r8shell and others have been nominated numerous times....I'm nominating Jiki ... because of his intelligent, sharp wit, and his readiness to help anyone that asks. His whittling ain't bad, either .... so many good folks on the porch, and he's one of the good ones....

thanks again, Charlie...

 

[Kiteman72]

If nobody nominated Travman , it would be a crime. His pics are something we all enjoy every day!

I feel maybe I should write more, but what?

Oh yeah, Thanks waynorth , for another awesome GAW! Very fun!

 

[JohnDF]

First, let me say thank you to Charlie waynorth for doing this.
It is very generous of you and I know everybody here appreciates it very much.
Giving knives away and making people happy is very satisfying, be careful or it will become a habit.

Next, I'd like to thank the ones that nominated me earlier.
It's always humbling to get nominated, it even brings feelings of guilt.
Deep down I'm always going, "Don't pick me, Don't pick me." But at the same time it's a great feeling and I say, "Thank You!"

Lastly, I guess i am going to have to pick somebody.
There are so many deserving people here. Some are stand-outs and others quietly contribute on a regular basis.
I'm sorry, but I am going to have to put more thought into it and come back with my nomination...

 

[paulhilborn]

Thanks for this Charlie, for all that Peregrin Gary (and Frank do) I'll nominate Gary. It's an even toss up between the two so I flipped a coin, heads Gary, tails Frank, and Heads came up

 

[EngrSorenson]

It's always humbling to get nominated, it even brings feelings of guilt.

JohnDF, ladies and gentlemen.
Let’s just give him the knafe already.

 

[JohnDF]

Okay, I'm back with my nomination.
I'd like to nominate Bart Sacto for being that kind of guy that is deserving of this knife.
He's very active in the Totin' thread and a regular contributor in the Guardians thread... among others.
He's always quick with a kind word and freely shares his life, work, vacations, and hobbies for our enjoyment.
He gifted me an amazing knife that he modded himself and of course I'm hoping he will take me fishing again one day.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Wonderful!!
Hey Charlie!- Super well done with this giveaway, I love your nickname for Joanne " she who finds knives " Has that Native American ring to it, it reminds me when I had my workshop- and we were all joking around and trying to find a name we call each other if we were to in an Native American Culture, I cant remember what they gave me - it would have something smart- But a guy named John used to talk like you wouldn't believe- just went on and on..., so I was thinking away and ........It hit me - I named him "Running Mouth "

Mike Robuck - Thank you my friend for the Nomination, I am extremely humbled by that Sir!

I would like to nominate Andrew AFAustin , anybody who is a friend to dogs is a friend of mine and Andrew does SO MUCH hard work for the Dog Shelters, He at least deserves such a stunning Knife!

In saying that, the list of Champion people I could type out would have me busy for a good half an hour here, I am so privileged to have been looked after so well in these parts, so thank you everyone, and any person that does get to win from here in Traditionals will deserves it well, so to all the best of luck!

 

[tmd_87]

What a great giveaway Charlie! Man that’s a sweet knife. Soup bone is a grail for everyone! I’m gonna be nominating sbh06 ! He recently gifted me some amazing, hand made pocket sheaths and I know he’s hooked up other meme bees here were the same generosity! Good luck Jeremy!

 

[Jiki]

I nominate Leslie Tomville Greg. Greg exhibits true porch kindness on and off the public forum. Kind words, lovely photos, and an optimistic outlook on the topics of the day.

 

[Just Tom.]

While there are many members who seem like great guys, and would make deserving recipients, I have to admit that afishhunter was the first name that sprang to mind when I saw this.

I don’t want to embarrass the guy by elaborating too much on my reasons, but the Porch definitely would not be the same place without him.

 

[Ruhiger Sturm]

Very cool GAW for the guys that don’t get a chance at these. I’m going to nominate Buckeye Sharp for this one. Bryon has helped me snag a couple for my collection where all other leads failed.

 

[sf fanatic]

I’m going to nominate Peregrin as well! Gary has provided sage advice to me and moderates the porch with aplomb and a sense of humor. Charlie, thanks for doing this!
