OK folks. I'm doing a traditional slipjoint give away here. This is going to be open to anyone that doesn't own or never has owned a traditional slipjoint knife. Of course this GAW is going to be based on the honor system and please only enter if you're truly interested in trying out a good quality slipjoint. This is open to all US and international members. Just post, "I would like to try one out" once in this thread. I will pick a winner this Friday by 6:00 PM EST via random number generator. Good luck.
As a little credit, member ATwistedStaple deserves a pat on the back for urging me to do this. :D :thumbup:

And now for the knife details;
Up for grabs is a Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute #383215 Farmer's Jack in Dusk (dark blue almost black) Jig Bone. OAL closed is 3 7/8" blade and spring are 1095 steel. The hawkbill main blade and spey secondary are very utilitarian and useful in and around the yard/garden, etc. Very nice fit and finish with nice heft to the knife in a relatively small package. GEC is known for setting the standards in traditional quality and styling.



 
Very cool gaw, BB. I'm already spiraling down the black hole of traditional knives, myself.
Good luck everyone!

Fantastic GAW!
That is a Great looking piece from one of my favorite companies.
I am willing to bet that the winner will be surprised how functional the blade combo is if they give it a fair shake. I have been temtped by this pattern since they started running it, but I have multiple traditionals and a Beer Scout Jack on the way!

Good luck to allof the entrants!
 
Fantastic on you Bob, not and entry and good luck to everyone entering, know you'll be getting a knife from one of the best guys on the forums.

Not an entry. Nice GAW but I doubt many members of this forum don't have or have never owned a traditional knife.
 
Oh, yes! I've actually been surfing eBay for about the past week for a nice traditional. I've wanted one ever since I started looking a the traditional part of the forums. Thanks for the opportunity!
 
Unfortunately, I own a number or trads. That's a beautiful knife you are giving away. Thanks for your generosity!
 
I have owned a Case Peanut (yellow derlin, Stainless), but recently gifted it to my grandfather who was bemoaning the fact that all pocket knives had clips (he had sharpened his case into a toothpick over about 60 years, and needed a replacement).

I also own an Ontario Cub Scout knife.

So, if the scout knife doesn't disqualify me, I'd love to try one out. I've never seen/handled/owned anything like the knife being given away (unless SAK's or the scout knife counts).

And if I'm disqualified, I still must say that its an excellent GAW :).
 
I'm not sure a pat on the back is really appropriate. Giving such a nice slippie to someone that's never owned one seems sort of like giving away free drugs. You'll become addicted, spend all your money on them and your girlfriend will leave you for a guy with a puppy and an oversized watch.
 
Not an entry......dang honor system! :D

Good luck fellas, someone's going to be real happy with that.
