George, what a super kind and cool thing to do. I really respect you wanting to share your many blessings with others, and even for those who didn't win the knife, we all got a great feeling from this giveaway. I wanted to post earlier and join in, but I thought it might have been a waste of a good knife if I had won because the Customs Agency here usually seizes knife shipments. Regardless, it was fun watching the "I'm in!" posts accumulate and congratulations to Druid on winning. :) :) :)
thank you for your kind words & yes I agree it was fun to be a part of I hope everyone enjoyed playing along or watching it :D
[CENTER]Wed Aug 6th GAW knife update:
I am not revealing any personal info ~ the GAW knife was in Anaheim @ 3 am & from the google map I looked at this appears to be about 50 + or - miles from the new owner so he will have it very soon :)

I picked it up from our front gate, about an hour ago and have been playing with that sense. It came extremely well wrapped, obviously well tended and in brand-new condition. I switched it to take down carry. but don't plan on carrying it much at many other users, but at the same time don't plan to ever let go of this one so I will use a little. And couldn't keep it under my monitor in the computer room. A place and in retrospect I often need the knife to open letters is random little things. I currently don't have one. I like the knife and if I needed to grab it and go I'm sure would serve me well. it is a reminder of happy times in this forum. and a place I can always go for a little comfort in the future.
