Hey folks,
holiday season is here, and I think it's high time to say thank you (again!) to this forum and the people who make it a safe haven for our knife enthusiasm
One of the (many) aspects of this forum that never ceases to amaze me is the generosity of all of you. In the last year or so, I've received many gifts here, so it's time to thank you and give something back.
Thanks to Glenn for his skills and kindness; the modified GEC 66 jack is even more special for the way he handled the whole process.
Thanks to Duncan for being Duncan (I think that's enough to say)
Thanks to Gevonovich for his kindness and talents:
Thanks to David for sharing his knowledge and sharpening skills (and for gifting me the clamp as well):
Thanks to Kevin, Sarah, Christian, Andi, Will, Elliott, Thom, Alex, Vic, Duane and many more: you all have a special place in my "knife novel" and for each of you it's not just a matter of knives anymore, but of friendship and kindness. Also thanks to Evan for his giveaway (hey I won!), to Frank and Gary, our hosts ("mods" is too cold), and thanks to Paul for providing the name for this thread
Now, back to the gifawae thing
After more than a year without buying any knife, I recently got these two, which I like alot:
...so I feel it's time for the "one in, one out" routine and send a couple knives out for a flight and a change of address.
This is open to the regulars here (we know who we are: no matter your post count, if I recognize your screen name then you are eligible).
Here's how it works.
Post your entry and bet on a knife (no matter if it's yours or not). Let's say that your budget and resources are infinite and you want to gift me the knife of my dreams...just because you think I'm worth it
It can be a custom or production model, present or past, FB or folder, of any pattern (as long as it's traditional of course). I will pick my favourite one on Sunday night (no obligation to actually gift it to me, but hey, it's up to you ), and then pick a second winner randomly among all entries for an added gift...and possibly a third one
What you might be getting is a lightly used (but in great condition - just needs some sharpening) pocket worn Bermuda green bone SBJ (that also came into my possession due to the generosity of another member here):
or a lightly used Schrade USA 93OT (internet picture - can't find my own pic
)
Post your entries, make me drool, and happy holidays to all of you and your dear ones
