I've been due to hold a GAW for a while. Plus I just won one put on by @Signalprick! I'll let this run for a week, or longer if there is still interest. I would like to see some of the habitual passer-uppers on these GAWs to join in this one. [I just realized there have been numerous GAWs going on. I hope this doesn't crowd the field.]

Rules: 25 posts here on the traditional site OR a paying member of any level OR a moderator. You may enter only once for yourself OR a friend who is also a member. Just post "I am in".

Note:
It may take me a couple of days to get this shipped after the winner is announced.

Optional: I repeat, not a requirement. Post a picture(s) of one one or more of your traditionals - whether it's a professional grade photo or a grainy picture from a crappy-ass old phone. OR post a quarantine photo of any kind. I've been seeing some beautiful and creative sidewalk chalk art and decorated doors and windows as I walk the neighborhood.

The knife: C. Risner Indian Head Stockman (Germany). I got this here on the Exchange several years ago. This may be the most photogenic knife I have. (Any photo-bugs definitely should enter.) I'm not sure what the scales are - French Ivory? The main blade and sheepsfoot have nice opening and closing snap. The closing snap on the spey blade is slightly on the soft side. Per the previous owner: Has a little freckling that looks like may have been buffed at one time.

Good Luck!

Here is a (bad) pic of my first knife. A Texas Jack by Imperial of England. One of the handle scales is missing and the blades wobble something terrible, but she still slices well.

Can't resist Chief knife :) … I'm in.

Have been going for a walk everyday and enjoying the chalk art. Wife picked up a piece of the provided chalk to add to the scene. She sure got a strange look on her face when I told her to drop the chalk and informed her she was now exposed to whoever had been using the chalk before her. Quarantine photos taken in the yard.

Not an entry but I just wanted to say thank you for your generosity.
Over the years I’ve come and gone from the porch and I can honestly say it’s the people not the knives that brings me back.
PS. that may very well be the prettiest stockman I’ve ever seen. Good luck to everyone.
