This one's my current favorite: it's my only stainless GEC and the #74 pattern feels wonderful in hand.
 
I'm in. Here's my favorite traditional fixed, a country-smith-style knife, or maasepänpuukko, by BF member Malanika. (This is the knife new. It's significantly patinated since I received it in December '15. It's a superb knife!)

I'm in and thank you very much!
My favorite is this smooth Bone TC. I carried during the birth of my daughter and continue to carry it for her significant events:
 
I'm in! Fantastic GAW.

I love this knife because someone carried it so long that they wore the slots off the head-end screws, and filled the knife with more pocket lint than I've ever seen in another knife, but there's so much knife left in it.
I definitely have a worthy predecessor; I hope he has a worthy successor.

Not an entry as I have recently won a GAW. I just want to thank you for this incredibly generous gift! It is a truly special prize! Good luck to all entrants. Thanks, r redden.
 
Cool giveaway! I've wanted to try an opinel for a while. The abilene stockman is a great pattern, beautiful scales, and was my 1st GEC

Very generous Randy, not an entry! thanks for the opportunity tho. Shameless plug for my current GAW tho, thanks! :D
 
Wow I am in, thanks!
Here is my favorite traditional, a Joseph Rodgers whittler. This knife is over 100 years old and has among the best action of any knife I own and nearly flawless finish:thumbup:
 
What a great idea. I really like Opinels. This No. 7 is the oldest one I still have. In fact, it may have been my first one, I can't be sure. I bought several from LL Bean in the '70s; all but two have wandered off.

This is my favorite traditional. it's beautiful, it's the perfect size, had the perfect blade shape (for me) and I love sawcut.
