**WINNER CHOSEN**1000 post JK Giveaway

[HWF]

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well.

I am approaching 1000 posts and have decided I want to give back to all you wonderful folks here. So here is how this giveaway will work:

-This will be open to anyone who has a 'Proud supporter of JK knives' number. I've chosen to do it this way because the JK forum is where I really 'got my start' on BF. I hardly ever posted until I found you guys here and I felt pretty welcomed.
-All you bhave to do is post in this thread. Anything you want to post is fine but I'd like to see pics of whatever makes you just plain happy. I'm a pretty happy person so let's make this thread have a happy vibe.
-Your post number will be your entry number and I'll use one of those random number pickers to pick the winner. (If anyone knows a good one please point me in the right direction as I have never done this before.)
-This will run until I hit 1000 posts and my 1000th will be when I announce the winner. So I'm not quite sure how long it will run!
-I'll cover shipping as long as it's stateside. If the winner happens to be in another country we will figure something out, but I don't want to exclude anyone who qualifies.

Now for the loot:

A lightly used JK Kephart with the sheath that came with it. I figured since this is one of John's most popular models (pretty sure I saw him post that somewhere, but please correct me if I'm wrong) it would be appropriate. It has a little patina but is in great shape. Never sharpened. The sheath has been beat up a bit. It has lots of...character, let's say.

Let's have some fun with this! I'm pretty excited!

I'll start us off with some things that make my life wonderful, please excuse the randomness!

I just went through my photo stream and picked photos that I liked. It's a good mix of things that make me happy. Family, aviation, nature, etc.

Here we go!

This always makes me laugh:

This was my dad's fini flight before he took over homestead.

Yes. It says Funk. Our last name.

Me and my dad and my cousins.

Change of command ceremony.

My parents back yard.

Recent concert.

Me and the 'Commander', my much better half. :thumbup:

My sisters wedding a few years back.

Thank you all again!


Go!!!!!

Congrats on the 1k Hugh.Great timing,I just had to sell my Kephart & would love to have another.
Those are some great family pics so it's understandable & fitting that they would be your favorites,you're a lucky man for having them.

I love the bug in the board BTW.

No family for me,but I do love nature & knives.
I'll start with my happy place & throw some random pics up.

Good luck everyone & thanks for the chance Hugh.

hey Hugh. what a great giveaway. LOVE the handle on that kephart!

i don't really have any pics of my family online, but my boys are the ones who keep me goin'.

other than that, if i can spend some time in the great outdoors, i'm a pretty happy camper.

thanks for the chance Hugh. what a great giveaway! :thumbup:

i also have found quite a bit of satisfaction from the various blade-related projects i get into. sometimes they turn out ok, sometimes not so much. but, i always enjoy the process. i think i've posted enough pics though, so i will refrain from posting more.
