December 2022 AAPK Store Owner Monthly Knife Giveaway

[bestgear]

This month’s store-owner-donated monthly knife giveaway features a very kind donation from the AAPK Store 3FingerMac which has decided to donate an Adam Vigil Shadow Spear Barlow. Adam Vigil is out of California and the Shadow modern Spear Barlow is 3.5" closed with a 2.5” hollow ground hand-rubbed finish blade. Additional features include red G10 liners as accents and a federal shield. This knife is very pocket friendly at 2.2 ounces with the action dead on! Good luck!

If you haven't already visited 3FingerMac's AAPK Store, I encourage you to set aside some time and browse https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... eller=1840 and you will see one fine custom knife store with enough inventory to satisfy even the most demanding knife enthusiast.

Instructions for entering the giveaway - Simply click here and select a number between 0 and 999.

You will have until January 14th (6:00 P.M. Eastern) to pick a number, after which entries will not be considered. The Illinois State Lottery evening pick-three drawing will determine the winner on January 14th. The individual closest to the selected number without going over will win. The Illinois lottery results can be found on the following website: https://www.illinoislottery.com/dbg/results/pick3

Please ensure that your Board Preferences Miscellaneous Notifications are set to notify you via email when someone sends you a Private Message (PM) to ensure the best opportunity for the time requirements below to be met.

The first-place winner will be sent an AAPK PM after the drawing and will have three days to respond with contact and shipping information. If the first-place winner does not respond within three days, the knife will be offered to the next player on the list without going over.

The next-place winner will be sent an AAPK PM, and they will have one day to respond with contact and shipping information. If the next-place winner does not respond within one day, the knife will be offered in the same manner to the next player on the list without going over.

Good Luck!

Viewed 88 times in 30 hours with 18 entrants after starting this monthly giveaway and not a single comment about the 3rd monthly knife in a row that Mac so benevolently donated for this new giveaway - so I’ll get it started….

Thank you Mac, another beauty from your fantastic store inventory - we greatly appreciate the support!

[313 Mike]

Beautiful knife, very generous of you to put it up. Thank you sir.

[philco]

That is a fantastic knife. Thank you for your amazing generosity in this giveaway.

[doglegg]

We may have to change the name of this give away. 3FingerMac, you are carrying the load and always quality. Thank you.

[Colonel26]

Wow! Mac strikes again. Thank you sir for generosity. That’s a real looker right there.

[Reverand]

Wow, this is another over-the-top beautiful knife!
Very generous of you, 3fingerMac!

[TPK]

Thanks again Mac, for yet a third chance at an outstanding piece of cutlery. You go above & beyond.

Thanks to you as well Tom.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Nice, thank you Mac.

Mac this is very generous of you and we all thank you, I love the knife I won, but my question is where are all the
other store owners? Are they going to participate?

[jerryd6818]

You beat me to the punch David. I was just getting ready to ask why Mac is doing all the heavy lifting. Are all the other store owners tightwads and reluctant to let loose of something that will make them a dollar? Unless I don't have all the facts (which does occasionally happen),

other store owners? Are they going to participate?

yup - David & Jerry, we have AAPK Store Owners lined-up through June of next year - they have been very supportive of this new giveaway.

Mac got us kicked off in a big way with his unsolicited donation (x3) which led to my idea of a new AAPK store owner giveaway rather than slot him in the forum member giveaway. I suspect when I run my next campaign for donations, the store owners will continue to be supportive.

As an aside, Mac and I have been communicating and planning these giveaways all the while he’s been in the hospital and later recovering from major surgery. He’s a stand-up guy and a man of few words but has a huge heart.

Please accept my most humble apology for my ignorance of the situation, jumping to conclusions and misunderstanding the situation. I doubt I'll never go off half-cocked again but I will try. It may help if I stop running off at the mouth.
