Well.....since SOME of you couldn't follow directions ;)

There were a few posts where guys said they didn't want to be included, so Sal actually isn't the 83rd post. After subtracting the "not in" posts and not counting my own and assuming Sal didn't want to be entered, the 83rd post is JRinFL.


I'll tell ya this much, next time I'll just do a random number thing because this turned out to be more convoluted than I wanted it to be.

Should your initial post count as well? :p

To think you've really won the past 2 giveaways! (thanks again for passing on Larry's mule) ;) That's led to me spending another $400+ on fixed blades since getting that mule and a taste of the fixed blade world :cool:

Hahaha, funny thing is Larry had mentioned prior to you turning it down and me becoming the winner, that he had tried to persuade me into a small fixed blade in the past. Guess he must have known I'd have a thing for them haha!

Congrats on this one though! Glad to see it went to someone that's here everyday and we can get some of your own feedback on this beast!

You know it's funny, even though the knife is awesome, I'm really looking forward to using the edge he put on it. I have not screwed up the courage to really reprofile my own serrated edges, yet.

Congrats JR. If this really does become a travelling knife, it would be cool to keep and pass on with it a running history of it. JR use it in good health!

It’s here!

Considering all it went through, it looks practically new. Outside of the color and Evil D’s edge, that is.

I have to thank David again for his very generous give away. It must have been a sacrifice to give up such a good knife!
