This month tongueriver (Mr. Calvin Pruett) has donated a Northfield Moose #542208 dressed in Red Wine Jigged Bone. This beauty measures 4 1/8" Long and was born on 6-11-08. She carries serial number 49 of 50, blades are 1095 steel with half stops, two springs, with both blades centered with excellent snap (not too hard, not too soft). This new knife will travel in her original tube to a new home and……the price is right! Good luck!
Instructions for entering the giveaway...
Simply click here and select a number between 0 and 999.
You will have until March 31st (6:00 P.M. Eastern) to pick a number after which entries will not be considered. The winner will be determined by the Illinois State Lottery evening pick three drawing on March 31st.
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
You must be 18 years of age or older to play. The first-place winner will be sent an AAPK PM after the drawing and will have 5 days to respond with their complete contact and shipping information. If the first-place winner does not properly respond within the 5 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 3 days to respond with their complete contact and shipping information. If the next-place winner does not respond within the 3 days, the knife will be offered in the same manner to the next-place winner on the list without going over.
Good Luck!

PM has been sent, thank you to the 92 participants that entered before the deadline. I hope the 3 participants that entered the giveaway late will visit AAPK again earlier in the month so their entries are timestamped before the deadline

I need a shipping address to send the March knife out to someone; The paths to negotiate these pertinent threads is largely escaping me.
