Hi folks -
John, Mr. Sogetsu, jds1, outdoorsfan, uncle bill, camaroz28 and myself had a great time today, even though it rained all day long.
We sat around my kitchen and played with knives, had sodas, coffee and beer, and a great time showing off our $20 survival kits, our fishing kits, and talking knives.
I let everyone check out the cool Kershaw/ZT knives from morrowj_98's passaround:
John brought an outstanding array of knives to give away, pictured here - Thank you so much, John, for your generosity - a wonderful bunch of knives!
Each person then laid out their $20 survival kit - John started first:
Johns kit included a saw and lots of great, cheap finds, including a pot for cooking, a tarp, some "goodwill" knives etc.
jds1 followed with his awesome kit - including the "monster" dollar store knife:
Jeff had many interesting items in his kit, including a camp-stove, a nice blanket, and many well-thought out freebies that made up a kit that would certainly help one survive if it were made necessary.
Then outdoorsfan showed off his winning kit - as voted by the crowd:
Sean had made many ingenious items for his kit, much of it made from a discarded leather coat he acquired for free.
Mr. Sogetsu showed us how to tie a paracord lanyard, and also had made one for each of us - thanks, Steve! I put mine on my JK Ti Framelock!
It wouldn't be a gathering if Steve didn't leave a little bloodwork behind:
Jacob won his first JK Handmade knife, an extended length tin-knife with micarta handles and sheath, a knife that someone ordered and then never paid for, so John gave it away at the gathering.
I won this cute little JK knife in the random drawing that John held:
Everyone won something - I think everyone won at least one JK knife and another production knife of some sort:
Jeff gave Uncle Bill the monster dollar store knife - it takes two hands to handle the whopper!
We could not talk John into giving away his beautiful liner lock #1 - it is a real beauty, with smooth action and oozing quality. Someone is going to get a really awesome knife, this one is still available!
Here is a nice assortment of JK #1's
more pics follow....
best regards -
