CONGRATS BLADECHICK777!!! Hey Guys! It's Giveaway time! I have been here quite awhile now and have hosted three or four giveaways on various forums. I was looking threw some of my knives and realized that at one time or another I carried the crap out of these two at two different points in my life. I didnt have much money and did'nt know what a quality blade was so I just used and abused alot. I am giving away two of my used and abused that do not get carried anymore. I want to give them to someone who will use them. The Rat1 still has alot of life left in it. The lockup is a little on the late side but never had a problem with it. Also very smooth opening. The Gerber has literally been put through hell and badly sharpened but is still sound after 10 or so years at least. Without rambling on anymore if you think you can find a place in your EDC for either of these well loved knives please feel free to enter. I will choose one winner of both blades whenever I feel like the thread is dying. Pics are very much welcome but not necessary, doesnt even have to be knife pics. Nature or just life in general is fine but once again not necessary to enter. Thanks guys for all the great info over the years! I have learned a ton about knives, people, and even a little about myself....

I could definitely use the RAT-1 for a good all around House-EDC. May even give it to my friend, she needs a good knife. =]

Could even carry it with this for harder use:

The bottom knife I feel like is the most loved one, because a knife that is liked should never look clean and pretty but worn and used as a symbol of it being a proper knife that was was used. Well at least that's how I see if a blade is well liked or not.
my S2 Juice is covered scraps and marks, i'm sure some hidden rust spot, and a few bits have been to so hard they are missing a little metal, along with a poorly reground blade. It's been used a lot and I love it for being able to still work like nothing has happened to it. But I will hold onto my blade even if fully rusted only to drop it once it can not longer work.
 
This here is a cold steel Kobun I got at their booth when the nra gun show came to my area. ol' Lynn cee himself working the counters. I used it for everything for a few years. I threw it, skinned with it, chopped with it, batoned with it, and all kinds of other stuff. It just gave right out one day. It really surprised me. I might have sent an email out if not for all the abuse I put it through.

The small thing in the middle is what I made out of the big piece of broken blade. it actually cut, but I lost it before I could make a little sheath.

The native in that picture is my all around/work/favorite folder, so it had been abused too.

I Actually got that rat 1 partly because your pictures of (what I presume is the rat 1 being given away) your own rat 1. I used it fir a couple weeks and got serious troubles (blade play, centering, lockup, clip). I'm convinced though that I got a dud and would love to have another!

I'm in!

My brother carries around a cheap gas station knife, I'd like to get him something with better quality, like the RAT.

I am in, and would like to thank you for the chance to win some knives. I don't have any pics online to post but I am watching Night Gallery. Admittedly not one of Rod Serlings best works, and it is not really coming in.

(Just trying to stretch it out from the normal "I am in, thanks" I normally do I guess...)

:thumbup:I'd like in. I'd be more than happy with either, both are quality knives and would make a great new edc. what a generous gesture.
 
I love used blades and could definitely go for those. I'm actually making a trip to West Virginia in a couple weeks to do quite a bit of hiking and small game hunting. These would come in very handy. Hell, thanks for the opportunity OP.
 
I'm in... I lost my old Rat-1 and could really use a new one! Love that knife.
combatjiujitsu, how did you etch that pattern on the blade??
 
I would love to have the Rat as my EDC. I would put it to good use!

Thanks for the offer!

I'm in! I'm still rather new to knives and would love to edc a blade that already seen a lot of action. Plus, I hear great things about the Rat 1
 
Not an entry, as I was lucky enough to win your Svord Peasant give away a few months ago. Super generous man, it's good to see well loved, much-carried knives getting passed on so's they can stay useful.
