June 2023 Store Owners Knife Giveaway

[bestgear]

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

oh Mark - they do trust me - it was tongue in cheek humor - the giveaways knives always stay with the donors until a winner is declared and then they ship from the donor to the winner. I wish I could have coon-fingered all of them but that’s not how it was setup when I took over as giveaway coordinator.

I appreciate the fact that you have my back however

My goodness, Tom, I know you were kidding, so was I.
Somehow written humor doesn't come off the way it does in real life.
I keep attempting to be funny and I seem to be really bombing instead.
I'll be sure to not give-up my day job anytime soon.
That being said, the part about me having your back is true and accurate, no kidding!

Thank you, Gary Kennedy! I arrived home after a short road trip to NC and look what was waiting in my mailbox At 5.25" closed, this is the biggest folding knife that I own, and a whole bunch of knife in your hand when either opened or closed. The pictures don't do this one any justice, it's pristine and as factory fresh as a 31-year-old knife can get. I did my best to capture the essence of this beauty but the sun and clouds were not my friend this morning. This one will be cherished as I rarely win anything including last night's Powerball for $1,000,000,000 Once again, thank you Gary!

I forgot add that Gary also included this kool Wrangler Knife Opener which once I had the S&M in hand I knew why

Winner winner!!!

You are absolutely blessed to have won that stunning knife, Tom, great pictures or not it's gorgeous!
Actually, your pictures show quite nicely on my screen, but there's no substitute for how knives look in your hand, IMO.
Big, heavy, strong opening I knew there was a reason I wanted to win that one!
Congratulations once again, I'm sure you will treasure that knife always!
The billion dollar Power Ball was won, by the usual little old lady from Pasadena who will likely squirrel it away and never really enjoy it!

[Reverand]

Congratulations on a great win!
That is a stunning knife.
