Been thinking about doing this for a long time now, what it is you may ask?
It is AAPK's first annual "Secret Santa" knife exchange. We usually have the "POS" exchange in spring/summer, this is a lot like that.
Except, instead of junk/user/parts knives, you gift nice knife. Basically the saintly version of the "POS' .
Here's how it works, and the rules for taking part;
1. Submit your name forward by replying to this topic (must be a member in good standing, with at least 25 posts to their name).

2. Each entry will be added to a hat, and randomly drawn on December 1st (I will not enter myself, to keep things fair).

3. At no time will any one person know, who is sending them a gift, only too whom they will be sending.

4. Signing up for the exchange will run from November 15th, to the 30th. Gift must be in the mail by December 31st, exception made for circumstances.

5. No limit on how many knife/knives you may send, and no value cap. Would like to keep it around $100 value a knife, but not hard/fast rule.

6. Open to any member, from anywhere in the World (Are Canadian/Aussie/Bulgarian friends are more then welcome ).

7. And finally, have fun!

But..., small packages within Europe only cost me €9 to send. So, if there are any other European members who wish to take part in this & would like to or wouldn't mind to exchange with another member in Europe instead of with someone stateside, I'd be in.

If there aren't any other European members who want to take part & exchange with someone in Europe then I'm out.

Hope someone else in Europe is willing to take part. Sounds like fun!

I like this too however I have a question. If the knife is mailed to the person you would need to put a return address on the package so how would they not know who sent it?
