This is my 5000thpost on Bladeforums, and despite recently losing a good few of my Traditional posts to the Rowdy House, (for reasons I'll not go into 
), most of my posts are here. My post count has really crept up on me, and so Im doing this in a bit of a hurry. My usual apologies for the shortcomings of the photographs.
When I started posting regularly here, I was given a very generous welcome by the regulars and the mods here, and I feel very much part of the community on The Porch. Ive made many great friends, learned a fair bit, and received a lot of kindness also. Id like to give a knife away as a small token of my appreciation, and I hope that all you regular Porch visitors will enter PLEASE - and not pass. It doesnt matter if youve won another giveaway recently or have already had a knife from me, throw your hat into the ring.
The knife Im giving away is a vintage fixed-blade made by Martinni of Finland, which was also sold under Normark colours, and is their Deluxe Hunting Knife. It was made in the late 1980s, but is in mint unused condition. The blade length is 4, thats the actual cutting edge. It has a through tang, is very light, feels great in the hand, and I think its a very nice knife and a good user. Sorry for the slightly cheesey sheath decoration.
As well as the knife, the winner will get a goody bag, which Ill put together over the next couple of weeks, with perhaps a few extras being added later too.
This is open to all regular posters here, those whose contributions help to make this forum the great place it is. Im happy to send the prize anywhere in the world. Itd be nice to see the knife in the EDC thread from time to time, and if you want to send me a coin itll be gratefully received.
Ill be picking the winner by random number generator (unless I come up with a more imaginative random way of drawing it), but Id like you to post a knife picture in the style of another regular poster!* Hopefully that will add a bit of fun. Please feel free to post as many times as you like, your entry number will be your first post.
Thanks again folks for everything Ive learned here, about knives and many other things, and for your generosity of spirit, I feel honoured to be in your company. Thanks also to Frank and Gary for all the work they do, and for their patience. I hope to be here in another 5,000 posts (and Ill try to be a bit more organised in terms of a giveaway then!)
Im going to have a nice cold beer now (an American IPA), so Cheers! :thumbup:

Edit - Here's the goody-bag
* - Just to make it clear, pics should be an imitation of anothers posters signature photo style (or one of them), and please say who you're flattering with the imitation
