My first GAW, your first SAK

[abcdef]

Maybe you should give it to the person who owns the most saks.

I bet 5K Qs would be a strong contender for that.
Also wanted to add I'm sure there are some around here who's never had an sak, until a few weeks ago I never owned a stockman. One of the most classic and carried traditionals.Now I have 4 and want more

I’ll bet you’re right on both points.

On one hand, I’m a little disappointed that we haven’t had any eligible participants. On the other hand, I’m even more motivated to put this knife in the hands of someone who has never experienced one before. I think with some patience, a few will come along.

I have a few SAKs, but I'll bet there are lots of folks here who have more than me!

Thanks for the generous GAW, Astronaut FX !! The Cadet is a fantastic knife! As so many others have posted, I'm not eligible for the GAW for at least 2 reasons.

Would it be worth considering a minor change in eligibility? Instead of banning all SAK owners, what if you changed to allowing only those who have never had an Alox SAK (or never had a Vic Cadet) to enter? I know that I had lots of SAKs before I was fortunate enough to get my first Alox knife, and that was a "game-changing" moment in my knife experience!

When I got my Cadet it immediately became my EDC... lightweight and practical for my everyday needs

Not an entry, but firmly believe every knife knut should own a SAK at some point.
Great GAW idea and congrats on the recent Peanut GAW.

For a littla side action, how about a pool on when an eligible entrant will appear. Just to get the ball rolling, and for no particular reason, I’ll take January 1, 2019.

I really don't think anybody can be eligible - unless they've been ignoring knives all their lives

I think you should stick with the not eligible if you've won a GAW in the previous 6 months. Or even entered one.....

Not an entry, as I have a SAK (won on a giveaway here).

I carry it every day in a neck sheath. Very handy!!!
