Hey, I picked the mud turtle and #10 too! But since I am only getting to be in the contest because Daniel is being generous, I would be happy to shift over to #11 (SpyderPhreak has #11 as their backup, but I didn't see anyone picking #7) If that doesn't work I will take #12.

 

i'd take my one and only JK Bulldog. i love everything about this blade. the blade shape is perfect for piercing, skinning and has a good belly for slicing. the thickness at 5/32 leaves me free to baton or split bone without worry of breakage or failure. the contoured micarta slabs are comfortable with zero hotspots over extended use and offer a secure grip in wet conditions. the thumb ramp is nice and comfortable and the integrated finger guard offers just a little bit of extra security and allows you to choke up without compromising other grips. plus john's O1 stays SHARP as all get out. did i mention i just flat out love this knife?

i'll take #18 (if available) thx for the chance!

 

Very cool GAW, I'll play please.

I would choose the GBH, it's my favorite JK I own so far! It's a handful of knife, and pretty sure it would handle most any task thrown at it.





I'll take #14.

Thanks!
Glenn

 

Daniel, a suggestion if I may? Perhaps it would help to tabulate the entries in your original post so folks know what numbers are still available? :thumbup:

 

Never saw the Bulldog before. I really like the wide blade with the ffg and had a nice piercing tip. Very cool knife, handle looks comfortable as well.

 

I would take my HUDSON Bay7 inch blade, because it will handle chopping wood, making feather sticks, help with making traps and build a shelter. I will ask for # 4 if available.

 

HA! Well shoot. It really doesn't matter which number I get. Long as im in the runnings, its all good to me!

 

This seems to be getting a little confusing. I am going to try and clear things up for everyone. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but here are the posts in order.

#13 - 1066vik
#8 - YoungCurmudgeon
#7 - SpyderPhreak
#11 - Abbydaddy
#17 - Fishiker
#9 - Greatscoot
#5 - Gusnuts
#10 - HeefageLA
#12 - Kaliber906
#18 - Tlovesknives

It looks like Glennbad and Cbach8tw picked doubles.

 

Every time I see a pic of a GBH I think how "Randallish" it looks......I mean that as a huge compliment to John. Thanks for posting a pic to remind me I need one

 

If someone wants to order one of those what do they call it?

 

I'm calling it a Recurve Camp Knife

 

What a cool theme for a GAW Daniel.
I've decided I'm in after all and if I should win you can send the knife to Grunt Soldier!!
I'm diggin' seeing all the JKs posted, any one of which I would be happy with in the scenario you describe. :thumbupthey are JKs after all)

Out of all my JKs and for the scenario you describe with the limited items allowed I'd have to go with the Tool.
I designed it as my go to all rounder survival/bushwacker after all.
It has a 5 inch saber ground blade vs the usual 4" that bushwhackers like, giving me a little more tip to pound on in splitting or cross batoning.
I wanted the 5 inches for that little bit of extra penetration in defense against the unlikely event of a cougar attack also.
A durable G10 and Micarta handle to withstand the harshest of elements.
A rounded spine for limiting damage to a baton and for hand comfort if using as a draw knife.
And an exposed tang for pounding on if needed.
I originally had John put a half round notch in the exposed tang but I found it too awkward to use so I ground it down flat.




I kinda like Peters idea of a hawk too.
They'll chop and do finer work.
Wish I still had mine.





I'll take poor ol' #20 since no one else wants it.

Good Luck everybody!

 

Ok, I modified mine and will ask for #4. Thanks for the opportunity.

 

this has always been one of my favorites T. :thumbup:

 

Dang it, my bad. Please change my number to #14
