I contemplated this giveaway long and hard last night. Before I get to the prize I’d like to explain my reasoning.
I have been known to buy meals for those less fortunate, when the opportunity arises. If I am at a diner or cafe and see someone come in who seems to be in a hard place, I will almost always discretely ask the server to let me pay their bill.
It has never been for recognition, or gratitude, but it is simply that I recognize an immediate need in the world that I have the ability to help solve.
This sub forum is largely made up of the same kind of people. Most of y’all are generous beyond words, and reach past the typed words on the screen to connect with the lives of one another. This last forum knife has caused a pretty noticeable ripple in some of that, and it IS a pretty nice knife- but that’s all it is, a knife. This giveaway is my attempt at a “show of good faith” to the traditional section, that the forum knife represents more than a nice pocket accessory.
Now, the prize:
To the winner, I’ll be sending out my personal 2021 forum knife. It has excellent walk and talk, fantastic f&f, and is just barely starting to get character. I have also made a belt sheath, which I’ll also send out along with the tube and pin. It truly is a wonderful knife, I just prefer multiple blades, so it’s on to my next search!
Here’s the catch-
I have done some “scale work” for two reasons. The first is to prevent flippers from further staining a well meaning giveaway by posting it at 15 trillion pesos on eBay, and the second is to remind the recipient that “the world is round” and that more important than any material item is the good will towards others.
The only stipulation is that you must have been eligible to buy the forum knife in the original order. I will draw names this coming Tuesday and I WILL VET the winner to make sure they are eligible.
Thanks all!
