HIYOOO! Thanks to
HeathH
, I received a box in the mail whose weight was only surpassed by the density of wonderful gifts inside! A special shout out to
mrknife
, and the super fantastic participants who've been extraordinarily generous in their handling of said heavy and dense box. I had a long, hot, stressful day in the Louisiana sun, so I apologize if this is a bit rushed. I will let this run until August 9 before a random number generator spits out our next lucky recipient.
Here are the rules from mrknife's original posting:
Doing another GAW but this one is a little different. I'd sort of like this to be more of a pass around/pay it forward.
Im going to put all of these in a box and ship to one winner. They may not like all the knives in there or they may. If they do, the giveaway ends there I suppose. But if they don't, I hope they swap the knife they want for a knife or knives they have in their collection that they'd like to pass on to some one else who may find it more enjoyable via a similar giveaway. It'll be on an honor system and I have faith in all of you It's a variety pack of knives in different costs, so I'm sure everyone will get something they enjoy and want to give a new home.
In order to be considered, please fulfill any of these conditions:
1. be a known member of the Porch (at least a decent amount of meaningful contribution via content or conversation)
2. have donated to the St.Judes Charities/or Bob (hang in there buddy, hope you are doing ok!)
3. have done any sort of giveaway
I'm going to amend in here that entrants need to be active on The Porch. We've had some instances in which entrants who were chosen were no longer around. We're all hobbyists around here, and as such, we understand that life gets in the way sometimes. I'm not going to remove anyone from the list, but until they are available to participate on the porch regularly, they will not be eligible for the box.
Just say "I'm in" to be added to the list.
*If you want to tell us all which knives you're pining for and what you'd toss in the box as a replacement then have at it. It's a good way to keep the thread going and garner more interest.*
The current list of entrants is:

As you can see, we need some more Porch members to jump in on this shindig!
Get on to the good stuff!
Okay, so as mentioned, long day at work. So long that I forgot to unpack the box with the good camera in a location with decent light. Here's how things looked approx. 5 minutes after walking in the door:
LOOGIT ALL THAT STEEL.
Really a fantastic variety to play with and experience before making decisions. But a decision must be made! As a small knife guy, there really are some big honkin' knives in here.
I chose the Buck Toothpick, the super lovely ornate Colt, and the leather belt sheath.
Sounds greedy, I know. I'm still contemplating putting one of them back or adding something else.
Well, I hope to rectify that with not one but TWO Case Peanuts. I've added to the box a fantastic 2012 Pocket Worn Red Bone in Tru Sharp, and a Chestnut CV that I purchased from @KBA in a Benefit to Bob sale. Two lovely, lovely knives to pick from.
However, as a (virtual) card carrying member of The Cult of The Peanut, I simply cannot throw two Case Peanuts into a box without the prerequisite materials to join The Cult! That's right, tucked inside each Case box is a P38 Can Opener and a Craftsman 4-in-1 Screwdriver. Instantly become a member of The Cult!
So, let's go Porch members. Throw your name in the mix and see if you'll be the next to experience the wonders of leg-lengths of steel! You've got TWO WEEKS, folks. Thank you to everyone who has been involved (especially
mrknife
for starting this magical super fantastic fun time) and everyone who will be involved in the future!
All the best.

And that is not greedy at all- especially with what you added!!!
(Maybe we should get some kind of pool going about what each new winner will choose from "The Box". 
) The additions you made to the pool are unbelievable!! IMHO, a Case chestnut jigged bone CV peanut is the best peanut out there, and that pocket-worn red bone Tru-Sharp is a tasty peanut, too. The P-38 and the Sears 4-way are just icing on the cake! 
Dang it, I always liked Sears!
