What a sweet knife. Love those melon testers. Thanks for the opportunity.

Beautiful knife! Thanks for the chance.

Thanks for a great donation. I love those chestnut handles.

Thank you for the donation, Steve. Entry made.

Thank you for a great GAW.

Congratulations to Buttnit whose pick of 71 was 1 away from the winning lottery number drawn last night of 72. A PM has been sent and an official winner will be declared once a reply has been received within the allotted timeframe. Thank you to the donor and participants! Tom

it's happened again Buttnit failed to claim the May giveaway knife in the allotted time and this morning I declared Bloodhound as the new winner. A PM has been sent and the wait for a reply has begun.

This is the fourth time in the last 12-months that the first-place winner failed to claim his/her prize, y'all are making my job harder than it needs to be and holding the donor up from shipping a free knife. I'm sure there's a psychology case study somewhere here that will never be written

I am sorry for Buttnit, but happy for me. Thank you Steve for the donation

I will be thrilled to win this knife...PM sent with the requested info.
