In honor of (nearly) breaking the 5k posts barrier, I am putting up this 4 1/8" D2 corncob jigged canvas micarta-like BackPocket as a way of saying "thank you" for being the folksy yayhooz you are and putting up with my antics. In exchange, the winner will give me something folksy in return...something...anything you think personifies the folksyness of this forum.

This epic Tradeaway is restricted to contributors of this forum with a post count of 500 or more. This means you must have a post count of 500 or more AND have done some other things around this place other than come here for giveaways. :rolleyes::p I don't care if you have handmade knives already or if you only have a few production user knives and collect Capodimonte Italian Porceline...if you contribute to this forum and have 500 posts to your name, JUMP ON IN! Fellow knifemakers, retired federal works, and goat herders are welcome.

I'll be using your FIRST POST NUMBER AS YOUR ENTRY. You can post as many times as you want because these things are lots of fun, but it won't help you win mo bettuh. I'll be using some ultra scientifical method of selecting the winner from the post numbers I deem worthy.

Let's end this in 5 days, sometime on Friday, April 8th, 2011. Here's what you are playing for:

The jigging on this is deeper than it looks and kinda resembles a corn cob. It's really grippy stuff and makes the knife very light overall. I think you'll like it, that is...if you get it. ;) GOOD LUCK
 
Well, since retired federal employees were specifically mentioned...:cool:

Thanks, Kerry, for a great opportunity.

Good luck to all!
 
This is not an entry.

If it's a BackPocket knife, ya coulda at least have posed it on the back pocket of the Jeans.:rolleyes: Nice lookin knife though. Very generous of ya.
 
Holy Shute Kerry ,that is really cool!!!!
Thanks I'm in & love you !

Like Phil Rizzuto used to say...HO-LY COW!

What a knife and what incredible generosity to give folks a chance to win it. Thank you Kerry. I'm in. :thumbup:
 
Wow talk about cool! Count me in too! Thanks for the chance and congrats on 5k Kerry!
 
Very cool, Kerry! Thanks for the chance. That corn nubbin handle is cool beans. :thumbup:
I have something very folksy waiting if I ween. :D
 
Nice knife! I'm in, thanks for the giveaway and also for all you contribute Kerry.

That's a damn fine lookin' knife. It would make a nice set with this resin-infused corn cob fixed blade:

Thanks a million for the chance, and good luck everyone. :cool: :thumbup:

Edit: just realized I ended up with post lucky #13 - woohoo! I'm sure to win now. :D
 
No Capodimonte porcelain, but count me in anyway, Kerry. That jigging is something else.

just joined a couple weeks ago, not even close to being in the running yet, just wanted to say that is one cool looking knife, how did they make that handle?
 
Ain't no way, I am gonna sit this one out.

No sir. No way. ;).

Kerry, I do not know what to say other than thank you again. You bring so much to this little corner of the net just about every day. This gesture is way over the top.

Goat herder? Exactly who you callin' goat hearder? Oh, uh ... :D
 
This isn't an entry as I clearly don't qualify. I just wanted to say thanks and congrats on the 5k, Kerry. I always enjoy reading your posts as I either wind up learning something interesting or get a good laugh.:thumbup:


I hope the winner has some big boy pants and not just Dockers or culottes.;):D
Good luck everybody!
 
wow, Kerry
the knife is one of the most beautiful I ever saw here, I'm fan of green/brownish coloured handles and love canvas micarta, the jigging is truly beautiful, congratulation for the knife it's a real beauty

I'm glad to be able to post here, I have more than 500+ post in the area (thanks stats) so should be eligible to partecipate, makes me feel dizzy LOL, also feel honored
I hope to have given something here too, I'm pretty new to slipjoints but love to talk and read about them
I make a bow to your generosity

cheers
Maxx

post number #20 for me
