All About Pocket Knives

Last year to commemorate National Handmade Day On April 7, I gave away one of my hand made decoys. This year National Handmade Day falls on April 4, but upon looking at the calendar and seeing that April 7 this year is NATIONAL BEER DAY, I have decided to stay with April 7. This is my modern made replica of an old pattern called a "wire and canvas" decoy. Instead of a decoy made from one solid piece of wood, or two pieces hollowed out, these were made from wood, wire, and canvas in areas of the country that did not have large trees for decoy blocks. They were also lighter in weight than all wood decoys, so more could be carried for the same weight. All the winner needs to do is clear out some space in their man cave or she shed for this fine bird to have a place to roost. For photos on how these are constructed, click this link.

Thanks Bryan for your help in setting this up.

This Bluebill is the actual bird the winner will receive.

Very generous prize OC. I certainly treasure the little wooden one you sent me. Thanks for the opportunity.

This duck is an excellent specimen.

Very nice! My wife collected duck for years, it all started with an old wooden decoy that I had when I was a young boy. We’ll submit an entry.

Very nice OC! Someone is going to be very happy!

Only about a half hour to get your number for a chance to win the decoy. In the next couple of days the fine bird shown above will be migrating to someones location to take up a roosting place in your man-cave or she-shed.

Looks like there are 21 contestants. Good luck on the number drawing later tonight!

Sorry, Bigbux you missed the 6 PM Eastern deadline and will not be eligible.

The winning number drawn is 930. It appears that the "Big Weiner" with number 844 is Knife Nut. Congrats to our winner!
