Slipjoint-Knife-Knives needs loving new EDC owner!

[sunnyd]

Haven't hosted a Slip-Joint Pocket Knife Give-A-Way in a while now.. So here we go..

.. I am giving away(at least this one and likely more too) this absolutely dead mint new condition but older produced, made in the U.S.A. Schrade # 219 nice little Texas Jack pattern. She comes with a long pull on her clip-point main blade, with regular pull on the spear-point secondary blade, and fine blade geometry all around on both blades.. She snaps well and her walk & talk sings with fine echoes. No blade wobble on the side-to-side as you would expect on any new good ole fashion Schrade made in the USA!.

Here is the booty # 1 Item thus far & shipped anywhere on PLANET at my expense via USPS:

I may actually give out many more GOODIES than just the knife shown, so stay tuned here often because it'll be Winner Take All at the end of the contest!. But, I'll at least ship out to one of you fortunate Traditional Blade Forums members this following United States of American produced Schrade with the three line tang stamp:

SCHRADE {over} WALDEN {over} N.Y. U.S.A.

Booty # 2 Item:

Older OLSEN Knife Company knife - traditional sheath knife for hunting and skinning all types of game.. Although a little bit used and carried this knife still has plenty of life left in her..

RULES:

(1) Any BF.com member with at least a dozen posts in the TRADITIONAL FORUM prior to the END of this Give-A-Way Drawing on 2/26/2010 may participate and play.

(2) Picture of YOU must be included in your POST.. (see details below)

(3) Your favorite "QUOTE" by another historian or anyone else, or short poem, or stanza in your POST too..

(4) Your favorite "Beverage", listed in your POST, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic is just fine.

(5) ONLY ONE POST per BF.com member, PLEASE.

(6) Any BF.com member who breaks the RULES will be disqualified.

I'll let this run for 10 days, and no more!.

My daughter will select the POST numbers from a hat NO LATER Than FRIDAY NIGHT 2/26/2010 @ 11:59 PM -- midnightish EST-USA..

.. Here is my Cristen with my big ole Red Head Hat from one of the former Pocket Knife Give-A-Ways..

She always does a great job for us knife-knuts here in Traditional!.

O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Very Well Done my friend!

I do hope you'll grace us with a photo of yourself, Anthony!

I would have to say that water is my favorite beverage but coffee is a close second...


Thanks for the opportunity to win a great knife and, as always, GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

A very generous give away from a good man. I am not entering so as to give someone else a chance at these knives.

 

[sunnyd]

I do hope you'll grace us with a photo of yourself, Anthony! ..

I'll likely break the camera.

My wife says she has a photo of me in her camera somewhere from last Christmas time.. (its at her school until tomorrow)

Here is the only other one until then..

&#8220;If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.&#8221; ~ Ernest Hemingway

Absinthe is my favorite drink although sweet tea is a very close second...

At one time I would have said Canadian whiskey but that was quite a few years ago and I had to let that alcohol stuff go. Today it would be a nice cup of green tea or water straight from the tap.

All pix & great quotes thus far guyz!. Keep'm coming!

My favorite drink right now, aside from water, is a 2008 Petite Syrah that I made from California grapes!, It is a close second to an Okanagan Riesling I made, again from grapes in 2002, sadly, long gone! I drink little but taste a lot!
My favorite quote (paraphrased) from a knifely buddy around here, is Tony Bose's statement; "before you make a traditionally styled knife, you have to know what they look like!" He then went on to say you have to look at a lot of them, (kinda like Ken Erickson has done!)
My picture will have to wait until I get to my home computer next week, but I promise I'll insert one!!
Thanks for the chance, Anthony!

I'm home, and here's my picture. Thought I'd put a "normal" pic in, since a lot of you have seen me making faces. (of course I could be making a face here too!!)

"I don't know if I understand all I know about that". That was one of my Dad's favorite sayings.

Here I am with the bison I shot in January 2009 down on the Red River outside of Texarkana, Texas/Arkansas border. Used a Winchester mod. 70 in .416 Remington Magnum, with handloaded Speer 350 grain Hot-Cor bullet. For you wise guys, I'm the one in plaid.

Thanks for the give away fun Anthony.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
Ronald Reagan

*Edited* to change to my original quote. even today his words ring true.

Thanks a lot for the opportunity, mate! Here's a pic with some of my MMA training buddies, I'm the one in the white t-shirt on the left. The bloke in the middle is one of my coaches, pushing 60 and still able to beat the crap out of all of us.

My favourite alcoholic drink is single malt whiskey from Islay destileries, but I've been off alcohol for months now.

And here's a stanza from one of my favourite English poems:
"Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in the old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal-temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

If I had wings and I could fly,
I know where I would go.
But right now I'll just sit here so contentedly
And watch the river flow.
