I'm in, Barry Wood Swing Lock, solid lock up unusual locking system, I can think of at least 3 that probably will get missed so I'll post after the contest if I don't see them posted by anyone else.
BTW, always wanted the Ripple, aside from the Grateful Dead song Ripple, and the fact that I always liked the look of the knife, I think it would be a perfect knife for me.
Thanks for the Giveaway and good luck to everyone.
We have a winner! Send me your contact deets and I will get then ripple out. Alternatively tomorrow I will reach out to him.

This is so cool, I've wanted a Ripple ever since I see the name and I've been wanting to check out the internal bearing system to.
I'm sorry I didn't get right back, been busy taking care of things at home, a lot of running around trying to get all the vehicles through inspection, finalizing my mortgage modification and rebuilding my garage so I have a place to work on my bike.
I'm really excited about this one and am looking forward to getting my hands on it, pics will be posted as soon as I get it.
Thanks again Mike.

...It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.
Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow...
Just got the Ripple, I've never had a knife with bearings before, back in the 80s there was a custom maker who made a knife using needle bearings in a cage, IIRC this was an extremely expensive knife due to the amount of precision machining and hand fitting that went into the final assembly.
I knew then that a knife with bearings would be out of my price range, fast forward to more recent years and the invention IKBS, (Ikoma Korth Bearing System). If you'd like to learn more about it click the following link http://www.ikbsknifetech.com/ to learn more about it.
Well to get to the point today the CRKT Ripple that I had won in Mike's giveaway in the OP here arrived in the mail, what a great feeling knife I've carried custom folders by the likes of Crawford, and Cover, production knives from Reeves, Benchmade (Axis) and William Henry so I'm no stranger to buttery smooth actions.
This system is a home run although if you live in a non knife friendly state/city this may not be the knife for you but it is for me. I can't wait to disassemble and take some pics to post so I can share it with the members of BFC.
Thanks again Mike, this knife is gonna be sharing space in my pocket with my Case Sow Belly, Sebenza and Spyderco Mini Dyad. Look for upcoming pics and review in another thread, I'll post some pics here as soon as I get a chance to take some.
