June 2023 Store Owners Knife Giveaway

[bestgear]

This month’s store-owner-donated monthly knife giveaway features a very kind donation from the AAPK Store Kennedy Knives and storeowner Gary Kennedy who has decided to promote his largely USA-made store inventory with a vintage Schatt & Morgan 1992 Crimson Red Bone Large Coke Bottle Pattern #041983!

This knife has no box, was never carried, and still maintains its factory edge. This beauty has nice Crimson Red Bone Handles with no chips or cracks. This knife has nickel-silver bolsters & shield with brass pins & liners. This knife exhibits no wobble and has nice half-stops with plenty of snap.

Good luck!

If you haven't already visited Gary Kennedy’s AAPK Store, I encourage you to set aside some time and browse https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... seller=851 and you will see a plethora of high-quality knives that would satisfy even the most demanding knife enthusiast.

A few more hours remain to win this beautiful Schatt & Morgan with Crimson Red Bone - if you meet the eligibility requirements and haven't entered yet and are reading this.....ENTER NOW.......you can't win if you don't play!

Oh my - I knew the day would come when this would happen. This is the 71st giveaway that I've coordinated and I always "test" the contest mechanisms by entering "221" which is a very special day to me. Anyways, I looked yesterday when I made the last call posting and saw that Case V42 had picked "223" and I said to myself FAT CHANCE. You can imagine my surprise this morning when I looked up the winning number and saw that I was the lowest without going over. I sure hope I haven't used all my good karma for the day because we have a 2nd showing on our home and are praying for a contract.

Thank you to all 46 eligible participants that played this past month and thank you to Gary from Kennedy Knives for such a fine donation. Please consider this month's knife claimed but don't rule out the fact that this very same knife may in fact resurface in the forum member's giveaway in the very near future (or not)

Tom, don't forget to PM Tom to claim your prize.

Tom claimed this giveaway in world record time Phil - even faster than the speed of electrons

[Madmarco]

A hearty congratulations, Tom, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!
After all the work you do to ensure these GAW's go off without a hitch you definitely deserve something in return, even though we all know you do it out of the kindness of your heart and never expect compensation!
I ALWAYS play 111 unless it's been taken, so imagine my shock when I saw the numbers this time!
I am curious about one thing though, will you package up the knife and mail it and then sit patiently as it travels awhile with USPS before you get to run to the mailbox and claim your prize? lol!

[doglegg]

Wow Tom, happy for you and we'll deserved. Congratulations!

[KLJ77]

CONGRATS!, Tom...well played on the double deuce + one.

Thanks guys - the laws of statistics were at play and this time around the knife Gods looked my way.

Additionally, we have a sales contract in-hand for our Delaware home. We made a minor counteroffer and hope to have it fully ratified by the end of the weekend. The best part is we only have to move once, no temporary housing

It’s been a memorable week on many fronts including #29 tomorrow with my supportive and loving better half. Peace

LOL - they don’t trust me enough Mark to hold the inventory for the monthly giveaway knives (they ship from the donor to the winner).

[Dan In MI]

Congratulations, Tom, and thanks to Gary for offering such a superb prize!

[woodwalker]

Well, if you ask me, and that's only if you ask me mind you, "they" are unwarranted with "their" lack of trust in you!
After all, you could have made off with an awful lot of knives by now since you've been supervising these GAW's a long time, but nary a knife has gone missing, and that speaks volumes regarding your character and honesty!
It puzzles me that "they" can't see this about you the way you and I can!
But then again, it could have something to do with all the extra work involved if it was done how I thought it was done!
I'll stop now, sorry! !
