To all members of the Florida Knifemaker's Association, I want to publicly say THANK YOU!!!
In particular to Mr. Lowell Bray: Thank you, sir!!!!

After purchasing a blade at the recently held Florida Knifemaker's Show, I entered a contest to win a free knife. Lo and behold, my coupon was picked, and I won a beautiful fixed blade made by Mr. Lowell Bray. It is a skinner, with a Tulipwood handle and a forged 5 1/4" blade of 52100 steel! It came with a beautiful leather pouch sheath, and arrived in today's mail; along with a certificate of authenticity and a nice letter. What a surprise!!!
I've never really won anything all my life (that's if you don't count tickets I won on a radio station 25 years ago).
I am absolutely amazed at how nice this blade is! It has a rolled convex edge, and is a beauty. Thank you one and all. I will be writing you soon.

By the way, does anyone know of Mr. Lowell Bray and his blades? Ever bought or used one? I will never sell this blade, but was curious as to it's value.

Thank you all!
 
Congratulations

Congrats! Hansen,

I wish I could win a knife, I'd settle for a sharp stick!
 
LMAO, PHILL!!!!!!!!!!! Me too. I can't win a clump of dirt. How do I contact the Florida Knifemaker's Association to see what their qualifications are to join. I live in the Florida panhandle and have been interested in joining for a year or so. Congrats Hansen!! Take care! Michael

Congrats Hansen!!

Your gonna LOVE that knife!
I've got one of Lowell's 8 1/2" 52100 bowies
with stag slabbed handles, and it is SWEET!
Fantastic edge holding and tank tough!
ENJOY!

Hansen,

Congratulations!
Wish I had your luck. I have not had the opportunity to own or use one of Mr. Bray's
blades. Having read about him and his work
though, you should have one heck of a knife there.

Barry,

You wish you had my luck? I wish I had your talents! What made this day very special was that not only did I win and receive the knife from the Florida Knifemakers, but I also received in the mail the awesome Model 23 Survival Knife you made me! Your knife making skills are incredible. I'm surprised I have not read any posts yet about your blades here on Bladeforums, but after I write this I am going to post a thread about your Model 23 - a SUPER knife, thank you!!!

I am indeed very blessed today.
