"Share & Share" giveaway--come on and take a free ride!

I didn't know how to record each spin, but I hope you'll take my word for it that this is how it shook out.

Results:

1. Nebrasketball Nebrasketball
2. tinfoil hat timmy tinfoil hat timmy
3. Prester John Prester John
4. Half/Stop Half/Stop
5. @abbydaddy
6. JonMcD JonMcD
7. chuck4570 chuck4570
8. seas165 seas165

This is the order we'll go in, so I'll PM Nebrasketball Nebrasketball to get his address and he can post pictures here once he gets and uses the knife. Remember that you'll need to keep it for at least a week, and we can still keep it to no more than a month, even though we didn't get twelve folks. When Nebrasketball Nebrasketball is ready to pass it along he can PM tinfoil hat timmy tinfoil hat timmy and we'll keep the pattern from there until seas165 seas165 is ready to send it back to me for another round or whatever. Sound good?
 
Ugh at least 6 months to wait for my turn, but I will enjoy watching what goes on before.
 
Thanks Joshua, game on!

So- I’m wondering what your expectations are for us as we use this little gem.

Patina, sharpening, pocket it with your keys, carry it in a slip?

It’s a small knife so I’m imagining none of us will confuse it with a prybar.

Give us your vision on how you would like this thing returned to you.

Gonna be interesting no doubt!
 
Joshua you may want to share your preference in sharpening, it may need over the course of 6/7 months of use. I don’t think it will be abused in any way but you are asking it to be used.

Maybe not. Some folks may send it along earlier.

Good question! The knife is solid—micarta and no liners, so you can feel free to carry it as you normally would. Scuffs, dings, drops, or other signs of use will only add to the character (you don’t need to feel obligated to abuse it, of course, but don’t feel obligated to baby it either).

As for sharpening, my own practice is to use a honing rod and double-sided strop to keep the edge keen and water stones if the edge needs to be reset. I don’t expect everyone to have that system so just try to keep the same angle (about 15 degrees or so per side) and sharpen as evenly as you can if it gets too dull to hone or strop. Just don’t use an electric blade eater or surface grinder and turn it into a toothpick and I’ll be satisfied.

Sweet. Right at the front. I hope I'm able to post up pics from my phone. If not I may need to ask for help from you guys.

I use Postimage when my phone isn’t working and I think others may use Imgur. We’re here for you!

That’s a good thought. Let me know if my response above needs any clarification.

I don't know if I will have interesting stories, but I will try to take some nice pics in various settings, and use it for a variety of things. Maybe some in the kitchen for small items (tomatoes, peppers, etc.). If I need to sharpen it, I will probably just use ceramic rods set at 15 degrees per side to touch up the edge. And I will oil the joint before I send it on its way. I will keep it at least a week but not much longer. I will be careful with it, but it will get some patina here with me.

I think Ihave posted some pics directly from my phone, but I find it easier to use Imgur. If you have a smartphone, you should be able to download the free app. If you plan to use it, I can PM you regarding how to use it. Simple once you get the hang of it.

Sounds good. Maybe you can do one of those videos that Stefan Schmalhaus does with the cheeses, sausages, and radishes. :D

I found an old Spyderco box to put the PJPC in for safe keeping. Folks should be able to use it whenever they pass the knife along.

Then into some bubble-lined packaging:

Then into the mailer package and into the mail!

I look forward to seeing y’all put this little gem to use!
 
Opened up the package yesterday, wow this is a light knife! It has great snap and really disappears in your pocket. I really like the length of the handle. It fits my XL sized hands well. A few pics next to some other of Jason’s recovers and an ebony GEC 15 for a common size comparison. 90C18026-85A8-4A6C-9897-3957917575F3.jpeg F8A5EC31-2703-4915-9067-C892F6EE6FBF.jpeg
