First off, I know there are a couple other giveaways happening on the Porch right now (waynorth's Texas Camp Knife giveaway, average gimp's Grab Bag giveaway... I hope there aren't any others I'm missing), so hopefully I'm not stepping on on any toes here (and my apologies if anyone feels that I am). I was going to wait until there weren't any others going on, but that rarely seems to happen around here 
, so here we go...
This a giveaway!
I've wanted to do this for a while now. I've been hanging around here on the Porch since last September (despite what that "Join Date" up in the corner says, I honestly don't remember joining the forum back then, but I'm assuming it had something to do with Benchmade knives, as that's about all I was carrying back in those days). Anyways, I came here (probably like many of you) because somewhere I saw a picture of one of Charlie's TC Barlows, and I thought it was such a cool knife that I had to find out more. I had no familiarity with GEC, and only a slight interest in traditionals (I'd picked up a Case knife or two over the years, and had a couple old knives that had belonged to my grandpa). The more I learned, and the more I saw... well, I was hooked. I have way too many GEC knives now (though I'm still on the hunt for that elusive TC), several Case knives, a couple Queens, some Rough Riders and several older knives as well. Traditionals are pretty much all I carry anymore.
More than the knives, though, I've appreciated the people here on the Porch. All of y'all are so friendly and generous with your time, your knowledge and sometimes your knives, that it just feels like a great place to be. So I wanted to give back a little.
One thing that I've always enjoyed about many of the giveaways here are the creative ideas some of y'all come up with. Photo contests, stories, themes, etc. I tried to think up something creative... and, well, I didn't come up with anything.
But, because I'd like for this thing to have some substance other than just "I'm in," here are the criteria for this giveaway:
First, a Case Mini Trapper in Chestnut Bone (CV):
Next, an AG Russell Medium Lockback Barlow in Yellow Delrin:
And finally, a Rough Rider 4-Blade Stockman (complete with cap lifter!) in Amber Jigged Bone:
I'll let this thing run until the evening of Sunday, April 17th. At that point, I'll use some sort of randomizing contraption to chose a first-place winner, a second-place winner and a third-place winner. First place gets first choice of the knives above, and so on. No restriction on location (I'll figure out a way to ship it to wherever you are). So have at it! And THANK YOU to all of y'all here who make this place awesome! :thumbup:

- You must post a photo of a traditional knife. It can be an artsy photo, or it can be a non-artsy photo. It can be a photo of your favorite knife, or a photo of a knife you don't particularly care for. It can be a photo of you using said knife for some task, or a photo of the knife sitting in a drawer. Doesn't matter. Just post a photo.
