Recently R.c.s hosted a generous GAW http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...-A-piece-of-Sheffield-GAW-we-have-two-winners. I was fortunate enough to be one of the winners, and I want to express my appreciation to R.c.s and share my good fortune with others on The Porch.

R.c.s PMed me last week Thursday that he had put the knife I won into the mail that day, and it should arrive in about 8 working days. So I was pleasantly surprised on the very next Monday to find a package from Manchester UK in my mailbox! The trip across the Atlantic was faster than most of the package shipments within the US. :confused: Here are some photos of the contents of the package.

My "prize" was a stag senator pattern from A Wright & Son in Sheffield! :cool::cool:
I'm not an experienced stag owner, so it was a special treat to acquire my 3rd stag-handled knife. It's also my first knife with the fabled lambsfoot blade (which superbly reflects my fingers when photographed), and I think my first knife from Sheffield.

I really like the thickness of the stag covers, and the filework on the backspring is very appealing to me.

R.c.s also included a cool Sheffield key fob that's now on my fistful of keys and a nice "souvenir" box with a foam cutout that contained the knife.

Thanks very much for your generosity, Rick!! I'd enjoy seeing other A Wright & Son knives, if anyone is willing to post photos of theirs.

Very nice Gary. I received my British Army Knife as well. I've got to get some pics to add later today. :thumbup:
 
Nice pictures GT, a very worthwhlie and unusual knife, you're putting together a fine international collection too.

Generous GAW R.c.s. we're all envying GT quite a bit!:D

Thanks, Will
 
Thanks for the well-wishes, Ron, Gev, Mike, Bob, and Will. :)
Thanks for some pics of more Wrights, Rick; I appreciate seeing those beauties! :thumbup:
Bob, I look forward to seeing some photos of the British Army knife sometime; to me that was a very unusual, unique, and unfamiliar knife about which I'd like to learn more.
Will, when I first started picking up some knives, I didn't have much focus, but one "area of emphasis/interest" that seems to have somehow developed is what you noted: I really enjoy getting knives from different countries, probably due primarily to visiting my daughter in Spain. So I was thrilled to win this classic British knife! (I should "pick your brain" sometime about Scandinavian folders, if there is such a thing. I like the looks of puukkos, but I vowed not to involve myself in fixed blades.)
