Hey y'all! The Never ending GAW continues into the 90's!!! So here it is #91!!! 🎉

I was honored to be included & even won a chance to continue this Porch tradition. I have always been impressed with the generosity & friendship that I've seen here & this pass around giveaway box is a fine example of that. So I'm putting up a personal favorite of mine to contribute to the fun & lightheartedness of this place.

Anyways, the standard rules are applied.

The Rules: (copied from the last GAW)

• Be a member of the Porch (minimum 50 posts to the “Traditional" forum).
• Post "I'm in”
• Paying members of BF only.


If You Win The Box:

• When you receive the box, take any number of knives and replace them with knives of equivalent (or greater) value.
• Then, hold your own GAW to keep this fun Porch tradition going. Take and post photos!!!
• Post a link to your new GAW thread in this thread.
• Pick a new winner and mail them the box.

Post if you want to be added to the list!!

I took the liberty of adding those who signed up for the last round if that's ok with y'all. (If you don't want in on this round & want me to take your name off just let me know, you can either post here or PM me)

I'll let this run until next Sunday, the 28th!

The box in a box 😂

The contents inside 🤯

So much to choose from...
After fingering over them like a raccoon & chicken eyeing them for awhile I think I've chosen the ones that are staying here & mine that are getting contributed...

What I've decided to keep... I picked out the GEC Moose, IXL Barlow, Schrade Whittler, & the Imperial Toothpick.

I really enjoyed the feel & blade combination of the 81 Moose so that was the first choice. I've never owned or handled an English Lambsfoot & started to see why they are so popular so the IXL was the second pick. The Schrade Whittler was the third, it's well worn from being in the pocket & is a pretty interesting pattern. Not to mention I think it's been in the box for a few rounds so it's found it's new home here. As for the Imperial, my late grandfather had a fondness for the Imperial brand & I thought it would be a fun thing to have.

What I've added...
As I've stated I'm impressed with the generosity around here so I'm offering up a personal favorite of mine. (Who doesn't need a Yellow Rose in their life) 😉

+A GEC #81 Yellow Rose with tube & pin. It's been lightly carried by me.

+ A Case Medium Toothpick "SS" in Jade bone (Also lightly carried by me)

+ A Case Slimline Trapper, Yellow Synthetic in Carbon Steel. (New in Box)

+ A Gerber Pixie Bird & Trout (Something you don't see often) with the original factory sheath. Made in Portland Oregon sometime around the mid 1960's to mid 1970's I believe. Used but still a fun & interesting little fixed blade.

I'm also throwing in a few extra items y'all might enjoy. A large & small Stainless Bail for those of you who might need one. A new leather magnetic pocket sheath from CK is being included if y'all were wanting to try one out. Lastly I'm including a Rose bandana it goes with the GEC Rose!!!... Ha! Just kidding, it goes to whoever wants it. I added it just because 😎

Ok, now let's keep this good thing going!!!

Good luck everyone!!!

Nice additions Zach! The yellow rose knives are some of the nicest covers GEC makes and one of my favorites. I hope your bees don’t miss it too much! 🐝🐝😁
 
I won this a couple of years ago so I'm not in, but is great to see the interest in this going up.

It was a lot of fun going through all the different knives and trying to decide what moves to make. That said, I don't think my wife appreciated having 20 knives laid out on the living room coffee table for a whole week. I'm sure she's over it now.

Thanks Patrick! They're a favorite of mine too, I still have a #97 Rose that the bees can still enjoy 😂🐝

Thanks Mark. You're right, it is a lot of fun going through everything & getting a chance to play with some different brands & models. Luckily my wife is understanding about my interests (she puts up with my hijinks), even though it can wear on her nerves sometimes with the constant "click-click-clack" 😂
Mrs. Hoovie was actually somewhat excited about this pass around, she's not into pocket knives at all but she loved the idea of it. She was eagerly waiting to see what I would pick out & what I would replace it with.

It’s such a great way to share and exchange knives. I found myself buying a couple interesting ones for the box when it heads my way.
 
Very cool and generous of you! Im glad to see the spirit of the endeavor has returned in full force! A traveling library of knives for all curious and interested members to explore! A little something for everyone!

Thanks! I was honored to be a trusted guardian of the box. Like you said there's a lot of neat stuff in here to try out & look at, some stuff you might not get a chance to otherwise.
 
Names are in the hat....
