On the block is a new in the box Christy knife, with a spare blade that was under the foam. My old man was fond of these knives, and bought a great deal of them to hand out to the people in his section back in the 50's. The Christy knife is a good, if a little weird, example of maybe the first one hand knife aside from the typical switch blade, and they were sold in army PX's and Navy Exchanges during WW2. Not a tool to parachute into the jungle, but darn handy day to day for cutting jobs. Blade can be locked open in three different lengths, and it serves as a good pocket box cutter. I'll run this for a few days until it looks like the entries are slowing down. Lets say Wednesday.

Interesting little knife, I've seen things like it but they were always Chinese made low quality deals. I would love a chance, thank you for the opportunity.
 
I'd like to enter with the request that should I win it would go to a forum member who was a vet wounded in action. Even though I'm retired Coast Guard, I didn't not see actual combat. I don't know whom that would be but I'm sure we have many here.
Thanks! Joe
 
Thanks for the chance Carl. Hope you and all the other vets on here have a particularly good holiday.
 
Very unusual. Just for the educational value, I'd love to have one for my collection. Count me in. :thumbup:

And I wish a peaceful, safe Memorial Day to everyone.
 
Great giveaway Carl, and an unusual knife too. I'll step aside for this one though, not an entry :)
 
Thanks for the chance, Carl. Pretty unique little knife. Thanks for the chance :)

I´m in...
 
Very cool knife and made in USA! Really like that it's retractable. Please count me in. Happy Memorial Day everyone.
 
Very cool Carl, hope you and the misses are having a great day, count me in I've always wanted to try a Christy but for some reason never get around to ordering one, thanks for the chance.
