Well...that time of the year is rolling around again, in 9 more days I will be 51 and as it is better to give than receive (as far as karma is concerned) I will giveaway something on my birthday. As I am getting to be an old timer what could be more appropriate than giving one away (knife that is, I will hang onto my Dad). And if giving away one is good then giving away three must be the Mac Daddy!

So for my birthday I will be giving away 3 Old Timers knives. These are used but that's ok...they are all good carbon steel and USA made.

1) Schrade old timer 340T three blade pocket knife.
2) Schrade old timer 180T single blade lock back Mighty Mite.
3) Schrade old timer 1080T three blade pocket knife.

1. Rules are simple, pick a 3 digit number between 000 and 999. The mid-day Indiana pick 3 on the 10th will determine the winner, closest wins with the lower number breaking ties. Please check other posts before picking your number.

2. While you don't have to be an old timer yourself please include an old timer saying...something like "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and skill".

That's it...and here are the goodies...winner takes all!

Here's hoping your 51st is a great day and that you have many more.

Very generous giveway, and since I don't have a single Old Timer, I'll play

I'll pick 567

356 for me. :)

And, in the spirit of the Porsche 356 that inspired that pick...

If you ain't fast with 90 horsepower, you won't be with 900. :)
 
Just turned 51 myself - I'll take # 428. Thanks for the chance and have a great birthday!

Happy Birthday!!

I'm not sure what that means exactly, but my grandpa always said it.
 
317

and, as my old man used to say (forgot who he quoted) "60'-6" is as close as man has ever come to perfection"

Happy Birthday.
 
Happy Birthday!

446, please!

I pick 813.

That oldtimer 34OT has long been a knife I wanted to own and use. The other ones I didnt even know existed. I have a 77 muskrat I bought back when young and I realy like that sawcut delrin scales together with the 1095.

Congratulations to 51 Absintheur, I hope you get to double.

888, please.

Happy Birthday!
