WINNER SELECTED --- First GAW in leghog's Quest to Downsize

[leghog]

First the rules. Then the story. Then the pics.

RULES.
1. Must be a Traditionals forum member who actually contributes to the forum. More than 50 posts in the forum.
2. Entery must be accompanied by an animal pic. Any animal pic.
3. If you decide you don't want the knife, you won't sell it. You'll give it away to someone who does want the knife. SERIOUSLY, FOLKS!
4. If SadSappySucker enters this give away, he automatically wins since he's the one who gave me the knife.
5. Don't care where on the face of the planet you are, if you win we'll figure out a way to get the knife to you.
6. If you win, you will owe SadSappySucker a thank you.


STORY.
I've wanted a Harness Jack and I've want a Campagna SFO, so when SadSappySucker offered a Washington Harness Jack Give-Away here a year ago Thanksgiving, I was happy to enter. Was even happier to win. The knife is beautiful, functional, and high quality. Very generous of SadSappySucker to offer it here in the Traditionals Forum. But a sad truth remains. I just don't carry it and use it. I fondle it because it's such a good knife, but it really needs to be in the hands of one who will actually use it as it is a user. Since I received it in a Trads Forum GAW I'm letting it go in the same manner.

So............let the entries commence.


PICS.

I'd love a chance to win that beauty. Of course with all the entries I probably will have a beast of a chance. Sell it! I never sell. Here are two photos of beauty and the beast. Your decision which is which. Happy New Year.

 

[Aias]

I'd be happy to put that beauty to work! Thanks for the chance...

Here is my entry--a tarantula that was hanging out by my front door, Joshua Tree, CA.

 

[BigBiscuit]

I'm in please. I had one, let it go and regretted it since.
Here's one critter that won't be having his way with the garden any longer.

Looking right out my window from my computer desk. Tempting.

 

[gusnuts]

Well I love GEC, I love cocobolo, and I love the 77 pattern... so count me in!

 

[netguy1999]

This is an awesome GAW. Thank you for the opportunity! I'm in. Here is a picture of our little pup resting on her Christmas bed

The plowed road ends and my faithful showing me which way to go back home, rather than trudge thru some deep snow.
Very good GAW and thanks. I'm in

What a cool knife and a great GAW, thanks for the chance. Here's a picture from last summer when I heard a ruckus outside, looked out the window and saw a nice black bear destroying my bird feeder. A few days later he went on to destroy the neighbors bird feeder, and garbage can, and garden.

 

[5K Qs]

Not an entry. (I'd be as reluctant to carry the knife as you are, I think.)
But thanks for the generous GAW, and best wishes on your 2017 knife divestiture campaign. :thumbup:
Good luck to all the entrants!
I'l post an animal pic even though I'm not entering the GAW.

Very nice GAW and all for making sure that if won and the luster wanes that I would setup yet another GAW for this as well

Here's a photo I took a while back when our family visited the DC Zoo, this is one of those frogs you do not want to be petting !!! had to angle the camera as he was behind thick protective glass, luckily there was enough light to be able to get this photo as in the room we were in it was pretty dark.

Thanks for opportunity Leghog I'm in.This is extremely generous of you.

[flatblackcapo]

I always wanted one of those HJ's! The pic is of my girl Bella. Thanks for the chance, Leghog!

 

[Neko2]

This is a really generous giveaway.
Thank you to both Leghog and SadSappySucker for the two generations of generosity.

I was thinking of entering but I'm going to sit this out. I love the knife (big fan of the UN-X-LD branding) but I think I've got enough GAW entries in my history for a bit.

Thank you and good luck to all on this beautiful knife.

 

[SadSappySucker]

Not an entry, although I did think about it. For some reason I was thinking I gave away a Washington jack not a harness jack. In the end I know it will just suffer the same neglect that prompted the first giveaway. Now if it was a Washington Jack that would be another story...
Thank you for passing it along in such a generous way!
This guy is sitting next to me as I type all this.

 

[BenHarris]

I am in! Thank you so much for the GAW. Here is a stray cat that I befriended over the past summer.

Sounds like yet another extremely generous GAW that I've seen this season! Count me in!

To qualify, here's my dog Archie.

 

[Henry Beige]

That is a lovely knife. Please include me.

You did give me a Washington Jack. The knife is a a Washington Jack 772215. The blade is etched "Washington Punch Knife".

 

[Emspop]

Not an entry ( I would never carry/use it) but just wanted to say thanks for your generosity and spirt of community.

As for the animal her papers say Labrador but we call her pig for all the reasons you can imagine.
