I’m off of work next week. I’m not going anywhere, just staying around the house and catching up on a lot of chores. I’d like to have a little bit of knife fun while I’m at it. The porch has been such a fun and generous place for me, and I’ve never done a giveaway before, so I wanted to chance to give back a bit.

The game will be played like this.

1. Choose one knife to pocket and use for five days straight starting Monday morning. You can carry other knives during the five day stretch, but this knife has to be on you for the five days.
2. Post a picture in this thread of you doing something with your user knife of choice in this thread as you move through the week. Have fun with it; food, dogs, scenery, family, all the good stuff!!!
3. To be “in”, just say “I’m in“ and post a picture of the knife you will use starting Monday.
4. I will pick five winners on Saturday from the pool of folks who Jump in and have fun participating. I have seen a lot of giveaways come and go, so neither will I be anal retentive, being a stickler that you make it all five days, but I also will not be selecting folks who just participate one day. In the end, I will select a pool of people, and then pull five names at random.
5. I really just wanna have a lot of fun and see some fun “knives in use” pics.
6. It is 100% cool to play in behalf of someone else on the porch!

NOW FOR THE KNIVES!!!
5 winners, 5 of my USER knives.
1. GEC TC 14 in Cocobolo
2. GEC 86 2019 run in Autumn Harvest
3. GEC 71 OD Green Linen
4. Craftsman 4” stockman by Utica
5 Old Timer 61OT

All have been used, but are in awesome condition. The 86 doesn’t have a tube. First winner gets to choose what they want and so forth.

Let’s have some fun! If my logic has holes, let me know and I’ll clarify.

I’m in, please! Great idea for a giveaway. It will be great to what everyone chooses for their user next week!

Will be carrying this guy…View attachment 2416900
That is such a beautiful beast of a knife. Perhaps you can let us in on how you edc this bad boy. Front pocket, back pocket, belt sheath, carabiner, dedicated backpack???

It is a heavy knife, but it isn't that bad to carry. It just sits in my front left pocket. Jeans or Carhartt pants with a heavy leather belt are standard, so no issue carrying the weight around.
 
I'm in!

I've chosen this "indulgent" waynorth waynorth 'The Rider' 86 Harness Jack with Gabon Ebony covers. It's already a user 😀, but it's been treated like a collection piece for the past few weeks 😭 - let's change that!! 😍

To get this party started right, here's a picture of her most adept punch being used to scrape the goobers out of a recently acquired Schrade-Walden Rope Knife's nail nick! There was a surprising amount of soap and water resistant mung packed in there, and 'The Rider' removed it just as easy as pie!

Perhaps not as glorious a job as punching a new hole in the harness of a prize-winning Arabian stallion, but she don't mind! This HJ is a user - and a team player who isn't afraid to help pick up the slack!

(Bonus points for knife-on-knife action, right? right?) 🤣
 
I'm in. Starting Monday, I will pocket this 65 Ben Hogan from 2011.

We all need more of this shielded stag in our lives. Solid choice!
CV workhorse! Wouldn’t it have been glorious if there were even more CV copperheads out there for all of us to choose from? Thanks for joining in!

In honor of my great friend Duncan, I will carry this beautiful Craftsman stockman which he gifted me for the duration of the giveaway, starting Monday.

I’m a huge Craftsman fan. The checkering on this one is so cool. It really elevates an already solid knife. Such a great gift!
I’m in! Great giveaway idea.View attachment 2416915
Arguably one of the best GEC’s of last year 👍🏼.

I'm in with my brand new Lambsfoot! It needs some use!

You’ll have to give us an update on the fit and finish and how it’s breaking in for you Joe. It looks great! Love the covers.

Nice Passel of Prizes, Jon!! Very generous!! I love them all!!
I'm trying to thin the herd, so I will pass, but I congratulate you on this monumental GA!!!
Thanks so much Charlie! It will be great to pass along one of your great Waynorth designs to another porchian.

Sounds good. Definitely a “does all” knife, and looks fantastic doing it!

This is a very nice GA, thank you! It will be fun.

I'm in and will use it as an opportunity to finally break in this lambsfoot. I bought it to use it and there is hardly a scratch on it yet! We can change that over the next week.
I love a good smooth stag. It will be great to see yours put to good use Rick 👍🏼.

Goodness gracious, what a knife. Too good not to use!

Hi Jon, what a marvelous and generous GAW. I am in but not for myself. I’d like to enter on behalf of Jeremy sbh06 sbh06

Picture reveal party on Monday.

Safe weekend all!
Awesome Pete! Way to toss Jeremy in the mix. Have a restful weekend my friend!

Wow what an awesome idea for a giveaway!

Please count me in!

If I had to pick one to carry for a whole week, it's gotta be the one knife I've had the longest in my rotation that has gone around the world with me!
