The Winner (Strider SnG)is.... Post 39, Orion's Belt!!!

[budthachud]

The winner is... Post number 39, Orion's Belt!

Ok. So I'm kind of inspired by what some other "giveaway" threads. Also, KnifeHunter (the Busse mod) sent me a free knife while I was deployed back in '10.

I'm active duty AF. I PCS'd to AK last year, and left my house in SD on the market.

Yesterday, I closed on the sale. This is a pretty huge load off my mind, and I was contemplating doing something randomly nice.

I picked up an almost new SnG off the exchange a couple weeks ago. Ranger Green Lego, S30V blade. It's a great knife, and Franz N gave me a hell of a deal.

So here's me paying it forward. Sometime today, I'll unlock this thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1137449-Strider-SnG-Giveaway-Really

Now for the fun stuff:
--Must be 18, or give me a way to contact your parents to confirm you have permission to own a knife.
--I am NOT drunk, although I may have been when I came up with the idea
--all levels of membership, but please consider donating to Bladeforums.
--If you're on my ignore list for shady dealings in the x, you're not eligible.
--Join date prior to Dec 13.
--US only.
--Don't be a GAW hog.
--Do something nice for somebody. Maybe somebody that doesn't deserve it.
--I'll unlock the GAW thread today, and lock it a short time later. The winner will be announced by the end of today.

Ok, off my high horse now. here's a couple pics, sorry, only 3 hours of sunlight today, so poor quality.

That's it, good luck!

Not an entry. (I've been on the lucky end of a GAW before, and I havent entered another since! Gotta spread the luck around!)

Very nice and generous of you! Good luck to everyone who enters!

Thanks for your service! I'll be keeping my eye out for your other thread. I would love a strider for my next knife. You are a generous man.

 

[Esav Benyamin]

I'm a long time out of the Air Force and I really appreciate you keeping up with what we did. I actually won a Sebenza in a contest shortly after I got here, so like marcinek, I will leave this SNG for a deserving contestant!

Thanks for the real giveaway!

:thumbup: i'll sharpen it for free and 2 other similar size single blade folders when it needs it if they pay shipping both ways.

 

[RemyKaze]

I'm interested. To be honest I would likely handle it for a week or two, then pay it forward to someone I know deserves it. I have never handled a Strider, would love to, and know of some very giving people who have more than earned something like this. Merry Christmas, and happy holidays.

 

[MRaymond]

Very nice GAW! Unlike the fine posters prior to me, I haven't been on the lucky end of a GAW. I would like to be "in" and say thank you for your service as well as your generosity. Thanks!

[bunnyhopskotch]

Thanks you for your service! I am in!

 

[McVeyMac]

SnGs are great knives. I'm interested, and will be paying it forward to a rooky knife enthusiast I currently know and am working with. Thank you for your service, and for this chance.

 

[raindog101]

I'm in. Thanks for the GAW, and your service! Never had, or even held a Strider. But I have to admit to a healthy curiosity over the years.

 

[Bigfattyt]

I'll have to try and remember to check the thread to enter today.

 

[spydercobenchmadekai]

I'm in! Thanks for the chance. I have never won a GAW nor even seen a Strider in person.

 

[spketch]

This is a great idea and a generous thing to do. The good folks here definitely outweigh the bad. Thanks!

 

[A-Ro]

Very cool...wish I would have joined up here sooner to be eligible...

 

[Pombo3000]

Thank you for your service and thank you for this gaw!

Greetings from the Sandbox, and thank you for your service! If I'm still up when you unlock the other, I'll play.

 

[AddictedToGear]

Wow thanks, very generous.
