So after 8 months I'm finally going back to work Monday. Looks like I traded up too. No 12 hour shifts and no more Sundays plus the fact that it pays more isn't too shabby either.:D So I'm doing my first giveaway all be it a humble one. Up for grabs is a slightly(gently:D) used Ritter Grip in S30V. It has a few scratches on the Doug Ritter logo and the finish on the pocket clip is 3/4 still intact but otherwise it looks new. Apart from the pocket lint that I'll wash out before sending it that is.;) The reason I'm parting with it other than because I'm in a good mood is because I really like my Farmer, so I don't need it. Plus, I'm considering EDCing a small fixed blade to partner with the SAK.

The rules:
1) One post per person. If you post more than once your entry will be ignored. If in case of a double tap, I'll take the first post and ignore the second.
2) I'll pay shipping to CONUS, all others will pay their own shipping.
3) You must post a review of the knife in the W&SS forum shortly upon receipt.
4) And most important rule. I want this knife to go to someone who will use it wether that's you or relative/friend. I buy knives to get used and hate the idea of "safe queens."

I'll keep this open until sometime Saturday 10/17 and use a random number generator to pick the post number. Good luck.

Congrats many times over!! Must feel great. I'm gonna stay out of the giveaway part, already too fortunate with my toys!
 
I'm real happy for you, the last couple months I've been struggling to find work in my area, asides from a few repair jobs here and there, there's not much to be found, and to think that baird and harper impletemented 500 new jobs for forestry, they plan on losing 2500+ jobs by next year in that domain. so to hell with it.

I hope this grip finds a nice new home!
 
Good luck with your new job and thanks for the chance at a new user.

I was laid off once. Fortunately it didn't last long but I remember the feeling and that was 15 years ago.

Really glad your back to work and looking forward to the job. Congratulations.
