To all in the Traditional Forum,

I'd like to thank each and every one of you here for your kindness and willingness to share knowledge with everyone. I'm a member of more than a few forums, and a moderator on one to boot. I've never experienced the friendliness like I've seen here on Traditionals. And to think I only came looking for info on a Case Trapperlock...

So to give my thanks, I would like to host a giveaway. I meant to do it at 1K posts but was busy with my classes. I wanted to have it between Christmas and New Years but my father-in-law has been ill. So, here is is, even though I don't have pictures of everything I think you all know about these knives.

I'd like to give to the folks who contribute in the Traditional Forum, so please, if you just pop in and say "I'm in" and don't post in this forum, well, sorry. Let's say a majority of your posts in this forum for qualification. You can tell everyone about your favorite traditional, or just say "I'm in".

I will give away three knives, a first choice, second choice and a third. I'll use a random number generator so your post number is your entry. So, whoever gets picked first gets first choice of the three, second pick gets second choice, and the third pick gets the remaining knife. I'll try to ship wherever, hopefully if a winner is out of CONUS it will get there via USPS.

Since I don't have pics of all three I'll use stock photos as well as describing them as best as possible.

First knife is an SFO stag handled Queen City Copperhead. The stag is nice on this, FnF is good, 1095 blades, but like many Queens the grind isn't the best. Sorry for the stock photo, I'll try to get my own as soon as I can.

Next is a Utica brown bone "Catskill" 3 7/8" stockman. I really like this knife, FnF is also good though the spey blade could use a profiling. It's a fairly chunky carry, so I find myself using my smaller Utica Catskill stockman more. Again, I'll try to get my own photo as soon as I can.

Last but not least, a Case yeller Delrin CV Peanut:

As I love small knives, I hope that the winner will discover how great a little slicer can be!

I will pick the winners at midnight on Saturday January 12th. Good luck all!

Cheers,
Griff

ETA: Winners announced on page 3!

Not an entry Griff, just wanted to say thanks for your participation here.

Very generous giveaway!
 
Griff, where do you start to even try and describe your favourite Traditional...I guess I would say The Harness Jacks, the Easy Opener, Jacks, Barlows....
these are all just beauties in my eyes, and as you have said coming into Traditionals has been a wonderful experience for most of us people, the Champion people who share their knowledge so freely, and share with us their beautiful collections is just amazing...I just Love this place.
Griff, This isnt an entry as I have been the recipient of such great kindness here, my next move is to do what you are doing and host a give-away, so this is a thank you to you Sir :thumbup: :D. we should have a hat-tipping smiley face as part of our icons - so I could use that here.
Thank you Griff
 
Not an entry...but thank you, Griff. Well done.
 
Congrats on the 1,201 posts! Nice GAW! Not an entry.
 
thanks for the generosity, great give-away. I came to the traditional forums asking about GEC's and ended up buying a #42 trader (jigged copperhead w/ back lock). Being more inclined to carry a "modern" folder, I thought that it would be a good-looking knife but that it would see little pocket time and overall use. Boy was I wrong... it has not left my pocket since I bought it a few months ago... I love it. So, though I'm fairly a new traditional folder guy, I am here to stay... next on my list is a custom Buck 110 that the good folks here on the forums helped me decided about...

So, yeah, I'm in... thanks again and I hope that your father-in-law is doing better. Congrats on the 1k+ posts too.
 
I couldn't begin to guess my favorite folder but I have carried a ' 78 case stag handled jack the most but only cause I've had it since 78 and for years it was the only knife I owned and kind of got attached to it. I think my favorite flavor this week anyway is the mini single wharncliffe blade trapper although the tiny trapper is real nice when in public. I'd love to give that peanut a try the only peanut I have I don't carry it's a 78 stag that was a gift from my late grandfather and I'm scared I'd lose it or something so I just get it out once in a while when I "dress up" the only thing I've ever cut with it was a hanging thread. So anyway I'm in and thanks for the chance.
 
Not an entry. Great giveaway.

Favorite folder? Can't pick just one, but I seem to carry stockman/cattle (3.5"-4.25") knives during the week and trappers on weekends.
 
I'm in!!! First, before anything else, let me say that I have enjoyed your posts here. Second, this is really an "above and beyond" give away with you giving 3 knives to three forum members. My hat is off to you, sir.

Now, I think I'm going to have to say that my most favored knife is my Case amber bone mini copperhead. You've no doubt seen it posted a number of times. But now you get to see it again. Here it is with its stablemate the DU edition a forum mate sold to me a little bit ago.

I like a lot of my knives however and I had/have a real infatuation with the Gerber Silver Knight series. They are being shown in the EDC thread, so I won't post them again now.

Thanks again for this super sized edition give away.
