All About Pocket Knives

It is time again for the now 7th annual Decoy Give Away. The decoy this year will be awarded on April 17th, which is also Nation Blah, Blah, Blah Day (???????). This year the prize will be one of my hand made wire and canvas decoys, a Common Goldeneye. 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. The decoy itself measures 13 and 1/2 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 7 inches high. For information on the process in how I make these click here:

This year again, this give away is a further perk to the AAPK users who have Premium Memberships, Gold, Silver, or Bronze. ALL ENTRANTS MUST BE AAPK PREMIUM MEMBERS. If your membership has lapsed, or you have been sitting on the fence over buying one, you will have until the drawing entry deadline to reup your membership and for Bryan to have received your payment. You will have until April 17, (6:00 P.M. Eastern) to pick a number. After this time, any entries submitted will be disregarded, as will entrants who are not current paid up AAPK Premium Members. The winner will be determined by the Illinois State Lottery evening pick three drawing on April 17th. The Individual closest to the selected number without going over will win. The Illinois lottery results can be found on the following website:

This will be run like the monthly knife giveaway. Click here to get your number:

You must be 18 years of age or older to play. Previous winners are not eligible, (yes that means you rea1eye, Knife Nut, Snapper, ken 98k, Coinfolio, and Colonel26). The winner will be sent a PM after the drawing and will have 5 days to respond with your name and shipping address, if you do not respond within the allotted time the decoy will be given to the next closest winner on the list without going over.

Thanks Bryan for your help in setting this up.

Your work is amazing Jim, I'd be honored to display that Common Goldeneye in my home for friends and family to enjoy. Thank you for your generosity and continuity of this giveaway!

What a prize! Great decoy of a wonderful bird. Very generous.
