I've paid it forward with a couple of nice folders that I'm not using.

I'm not talking these items in particular, but I hope we don't see of the nicer items back on the fs forums.

Yeah, me too. I hope if someone decides that any item that he/she gets doesnt work for them that they will repost it here so someone else can try it out!

I have thought about that too clockman, but who is to say, IF that happens, that they really didn't need the money for something else.

This thread has done that for me, i find lately i have been looking for the good even in something that appears bad at first. I actually nauseate myself
 
Wow!! Received the Benchmade 10400 from Whetstone today and what a workhorse of a knife this bad boy is! I am a real sucker for older model Benchmades and Whetstone really came through with an amazing offering. Thank you so much my friend. Here she is all purty at her new home...soon to get dirty!

Honestly, whatever I have given is theirs to do with as they see fit. Like ole' W said, I do not know their situation.

I know what I would like see done, but that too is part of giving, no strings attached.
(Jumping through a few hoops on the front end for some of the "better" stuff though....that is fun) :eek:

As promised, here is the Queen skinner. She ain't the prettiest girl at the ball but she's still fun to play with. LoL The story on this one is that I found it hidden in the top of the closet of a house we moved into when I was 14. The sheath had been cut up and I fixed it to the best of my abilities at the time. I carried this knife around the woods for a couple years before I got a "better" knife aka tacticool flea market survival knife. I want this one to go to someone who will actually use it. Hunting season is upon us and I know one of you guys needs a new skinner or maybe your Son/Daughter needs one this season?

Claiming for crazy engineer!

He deserves it :)
 
If folks take a nice item from here and then sell it, shame on them for being tasteless. BUT, I hope nobody stops giving just because of that chance. Let the knowledge that you passed on a nice thing to someone be your reward.

For the gent who doesn't want to give unless he receives his wish list items, please understand the point of this thread. It's a giving, not trading. If you give up something, I promise you good Karma, and good fellow BF members, will assure that you receive nice items. Maybe your list of wants might not be offered, but something nice will find you. If you aren't interested in giving up your items, I would simply ask for you to edit the thread to remove the items you have until you're ready to offer them. If you want to trade, use the trade forum. Either way, no offense will be taken if you do, and hang around and get something, and then decide later to offer something.

Thanks for making me miss out on the fun overnight BTW!

Oh man if someone gets a gift to turn around and sell, thats would be such a shame. If someone gets a gift, that doesnt work out for them, (which does happen, all knives and gear aren't for everyone) But that item needs to be PAYED FORWARD, as it was payed forward to them.

Exactly!!!!!!! Everything should be payed forward if it doesn't work out. I surely hope we don't see items for sale from this thread. To me it ruins the whole idea. If you don't like it, Pay it Forward!
 
Here's an observation: The majority of you all opened the door a little into your lives last night. Here's the observation:

A. We all are FUBAR! I saw almost every medicine I take daily, and not even close to all of them. We all have some serious messed either in our bodies, melons, or both.

AND

B: I truly believe that is feeding the positive experience we all have had so far! I know my Bi Polar, PTSD mess made me look for a little bright light in my life. I found it here, y'all! And I know a bunch of others have had similar experiences. For those who aren't messed up like some of us, and still are part of this, you all are just as amazing and big hearted! I love watching this!


One favor. This time around there has been a little more unhappy banter with some folks. If someone comes to this thread and starts poking with a stick, can we just ignore it and keep on keeping on like nothing happened? I like a good puttingintheirplace post too, but let's try to keep it out of here. I know the replies to these posts have been to help, but the stick pokers feed on it. I want to keep everyone wanting to post stuff to give here, and then hang around and feed off the positive energy here. Let's not let a few folks ruin it.
 
OK, now another couple of goodies. These need to go in a pair, again due to shipping. My wife is, I suspect, starting to count boxes and their shipping cost, as I give more stuff away. (he gets how this is helping me and others, but we're tight on funds, and she brings all of them in the house. She also wishes a few these were sold to make us some extra cash, but she hasn't said anything. My wife is awesome)

No pic this time. Feeling to yucky to hassle with it right now. BUT, Gerber's web site has these on them if you want to see them.

I have a Lg and a Sm Gerber Bear Grylls Parang machete. The pair is up for grabs. Both are new, and the larger one was a recall replacement, so should be free of the handle defects. They are both unused, with the sheaths. I'll even throw in a Gerber BG Survival Ferro Rod, tested once.

Please feel free to put dibs on this setup and I'll do my bestest to ship it all today, along with the 4 packages from yesterday. Flu is kicking my arse!
 
Just got my Benchmade 555 from Whetstone in. Gonna post some pics of it, the m21, and a Contego I got in a trade. Thanks for the kindness, guys!

This.

Lets just ignore anyone who brings negativity here, of all places. If someone get truly out of line we will handle it, but definitely lets keep having fun with this and ignore the out of place comments or "requests"

You know, I've had 2 people that got nice knives from me, and gifted them, one to a non knife person who had a sudden change of heart after she played with a Ripple (I think the pretty blue color helped, too), and another to another member here who really needs the knife, and the fellow I gave it to wanted to pay it forward to him.

THAT is the true Pay if Forward style. It's contagious, y'all!

Hi Jim -- I have absolutely NO machetes as of right now so I'll take them if you're willing to send them my way.

EDIT: Aw shucks.
