Well, I woke up this morning, fixed a cup of coffee and sat down to check on this GAW. I was excited to see if all the winners had been named, and if so, to see their reactions. The absolute last thing in the world I expected to read, however, was the following:
Freds Winner = Fred did his own and fair random generator and chose an actual gifter of this Thread, he has chosen to stay with his original choice and I commend him on his decision - old&intheway - Stephen.






I won something??? And not just 'something', but the single coolest knife bead of all time. Amazing!!!


Fred - I'm humbled and very, very thankful to win your prize.
Rsmith_77 - congratulations! I was happy to see that you'd won my portion of the give-away and sincerely hope that you will enjoy the knife. When you get a chance, email me or leave a visitor's message on my profile page with your email address and I'll contact you to discuss shipping your prize.
Congratulations to all my fellow winners and to all my fellow gifters, as well, for what I believe to be a truly epic give-away. This thread has been a blast! Before I close, I want to offer up a couple final thank you's to both Charlie and Duncan.
Charlie, thank you for all that you do for our community and for the wonderful and beautiful knives you've imagined into existence - we are all in your debt. And
Duncan, thank you my friend for starting this give away and for coordinating our activities. I'm sure at several points it must've been akin to herding cats, but you did a marvelous job not just keeping us in line, but bringing Primble to heel as well.

In all seriousness though, you sir are a gentleman of the highest order and I'm proud to call you a friend.
