This is Round 3 of a creative GAW/Passaround/TravelingSwapMeet started by mrknife back in July. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...have-the-Conn!-(GAW-continues)?highlight=Conn


rye_a was the lucky winner of Round 1. He selected a Hen and Rooster coffin jack as his prize, replaced it with a Case Sodbuster Jr, and started Round 2 in August.


I was the lucky winner of Round 2 (even though I was unaware that I had entered :o). That was over a month ago :(, but I'm finally starting Round 3 today! The eligibility and rules are basically what mrknife laid out in his original post, quoted (with some minor editing) below. The idea is pretty simple: if you win, you get the traveling box-o-knives, pick out any knives you'd like to keep and replace them with some of your knives, and "host" the next round with the modified knife set.


...
Doing another GAW but this one is a little different. I'd sort of like this to be more of a pass around/pay it forward. Included are 5 knives in this give away
...
Im going to put all of these in a box and ship to one winner. They may not like all the knives in there or they may. If they do, the giveaway ends there I suppose. But if they don't, I hope they swap the knife they want for a knife or knives they have in their collection that they'd like to pass on to some one else who may find it more enjoyable via a similar giveaway. It'll be on an honor system and I have faith in all of you It's a variety pack of knives in different costs, so I'm sure everyone will get something they enjoy and want to give a new home.


In order to be considered, please fulfill any of these conditions:
1. be a known member of the Porch (at least a decent amount of meaningful contribution via content or conversation)
2. have donated to the St.Jude's Charities/or Bob(Bigbiscuit).





To enter:
A simple I'm in will do, or you can post a picture of some knives we all like that.


... Name will be selected from a hat as usual. :thumbup: USA only please, 48 continental to save on shipping for me :D, no purchase necessary, void where prohibited. Ages 18 and older.
...




Well, the knives arrived today and they are fantastic! I have decided to keep the great looking Hen & Rooster Coffin Jack, and will be adding a Case Sodbuster that I won in another GAW.


I'm starting the GAW/Pay it Forward again... The original rules apply, and I will include prior entries in the drawing (so no need to re-post):


1. Case Sodbuster (GT adds: I removed the pic of this one, 'cause I'm keeping it!)
2. Rough Rider Coke bottle(new)
3. Falcon lockback (new)
4. Schatt and morgan EDC barlow (gently modified)
5. Modified Bear MGC

The knives I received from rye_a are pictured in his post quoted above. I decided to keep the sweet stainless amber jigged bone Sodbuster Jr, and replaced it with a Rough Rider stag canoe and a Vic Spartan with hardwood covers (so the 6 knives pictured here are up for grabs):

Anyone who entered Round 1 or Round 2 (and didn't win) is automatically entered in this round without having to re-post. They are listed below with their numbers for the random drawing. New entries will be assigned (their post number) + 17 as their numbers for the drawing; I'll try to find time to periodically update the current list of entrants.


If you want to speculate on which knives appeal to you and post photos of possible replacements, that would be fantastic (but not required).
I'll let this run for 2 weeks, until 6pm ET on October 23, so I can ship the knives to the winner by the end of the month. Happy Halloween! :D

Great additions, GT! I would love to get my hands on that sweet little blue Barlow! I've just purchased a lot of 8 Peanuts, so I've got a couple NOS Peanuts that I would add to the pot, maybe along with something special!

Thanks for keeping this running, GT, and good luck to all entrants!
 
Glad I'm in, 5KQs. Hope this continues for awhile.It would be fun if eventually everyone, won. :D
Thanks, Neal

Shawn, I saw that "Tower of Power" made of Peanut boxes somewhere, but didn't realize they were all new-to-you; that's quite a haul!! :thumbup::thumbup:
Have you posted pics, or at least a list, of all 8 somewhere? I'd love to see what you got! :cool:

There must be an error. I don't meet the requirements to enter.
Just for clarification, Steve, people only need to meet at least one of the eligibility criteria, not both of them. And you certainly meet the first one, "known on the Porch". Even though you're usually on the road in "real life", you've been hanging out on The Porch regularly for, hey, almost exactly 2 years!! Congrats! :thumbup::thumbup: When's your BF anniversary??

im in.how could i not be this is what looking around gets ya,thanks
Thanks for your interest, Neko2 and kysteve, but there's no need to "re-enter" since you both said you were in during one of the first two rounds, so you're automatically in for Round 3. :)

This is the seller's photo. Two Brown Delrin, a Black G10, two Smooth Moss Green Bones, and a few Old Red Bones. One of the Red Bones and the G10 have already had pocket time, and I've already mailed off one of the Brown Delrins. I'd likely add one of the Smooth Green Bones and one of the Old Red Bones into the rotation, if I were to win. Might substitute/add one of those Cap Lifter Mini Trappers.

Bumping this to the front page to remind folks of the opportunity.
So far, odds of winning in this little contest are relatively good!! :thumbup::cool::thumbup:

Weekend bump.
Currently 22 entrants (see list in first post of this thread). I'd like to see more people enter, but the odds are pretty good for those already entered, especially compared to the current "Not so Perfect GAW" of a "sticky" 2016 Forum knife that has over 100 entrants so far. ;)
