[jerryd6818]

The Christmas season is upon us and once again this year, in keeping with the spirit of the season, I'm giving away a knife. This year, it’s a brand new, in the box, Case 2013 Seahorse Whittler 6355WH SS W/Jigged White Delrin handles, a Christmas Shield and a fancy Christmas etch on the main blade.

Wishing each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas.

This give away does not take the place of nor compete with the monthly AAPK give away or the annual December give away of Miller Bro's (Dimitri) (if he does it again this year)

Jerry thanks for doing this again this year. That's a very generous thing for you to do and that's one fine looking knife you're giving away.

Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas!

[jerryd6818]

Phil, nothing is too good for my compadres on AAPK.

[TripleF]

You're awesome pal!! Many thanks!!

[Tsar Bomba]

Thanks for your excellent generosity and participation in the forums, Jerry! It always makes this place a pleasure to visit. Since I happen to have the jigged red bone version of that same whittler (Christmas etch and all), I'll give my chance to someone more deserving, but I wanted to make note of just how generous and kind this forum always is, and wish luck to everyone who enters! Good luck, folks!

Thanks Jerry, a gracious gift.

[jerryd6818]

That's awfully gracious of you Tony but wouldn't you like to have something for the "Matching Pair" thread?

[Tsar Bomba]

They'd surely make quite the pair, Jerry, but I feel like someone else who might not have some of the Case seasonal knives would be better suited with one less participant diluting the odds. After all, what we want and what we need are often two different things.

Jerryd a very nice and generous Christmas offering. Your devotion to this forum is so greatly appreciated and is without a doubt one of the big draws that keeps this forum peddling along at break neck speed. Thanks for being you Jerryd!

I'm not too sure who else I could be Greg. I've been Jerry D. my whole life (except for the first 16 years when I went by my given name which I hate). Do you suppose I could be Bill Gates for a while? I wouldn't mind trying out that 'richer than J. Gould' for a while.

It would still be me. I would just be someone else with a butt load of money.

Well that might work out ok. Then you could subsidize everyone's knife purchases.

Thanks! Jerry, Very Nice!

[jerryd6818]

Well, I thought it was Marc. I saw it this summer when I first started looking around for something for the giveaway and when I first saw it, I thought "well that looks Christmassy".

[bighomer]

great knife from a great feller, thank you bud for the very generous donation and chance to win it.

[Quick Steel]

That is a lovely knife Jerry. Thanks for the opportunity to acquire it. Very generous of you. You are much appreciated around here.Have a great Christmas.

[Mumbleypeg]

Thanks jerryd for your generosity and for getting us in the Christmas spirit! Unlike "Greg the Grinch", I'll give you a week off to be Bill Gates. But no more than that - wouldn't want you to hurt yourself with all that money!
