May 2025 AAPK Monthly Knife Giveaway

This month Fishnguy56 (Guy), a repeat donor to the monthly knife giveaway, has decided to part ways with his Kershaw Kai, Macho Libre 2120 Lockback which has been lightly used and shows some wear.

This is a scarce Kershaw 2120 smooth bone handle folding knife made circa 1980s in Seki, Japan by Kai. It measures 4" long closed and features a mirror polished 2.75" long AUS-6 steel blade. Kershaw was founded in 1974 to design and manufacture tools that knife users would be proud to own, carry, and use. Along with extremely tight tolerance and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, this ensures that knives like the Kai, Macho Libre 2120 Lockback provide a lifetime of high performance.

Good Luck!

are you sure you want to mess with the cosmic nature of your selection? I'll ask Bryan but I think in the past it has proven to be difficult.

If it's difficult for anyone then I'll deal with it. Maybe you're right and it's divine influence ::smirk::

I appreciate it Bryan and friends. If its 001 it looks like some one else walks away with it now though. Have no fear however. It seems I am indeed entwined with the lower digits this month as I just fat fingered the drop down menu and selected 2. Im going to just roll with it now and pretend like i woke up this morning intending to select 2 :D

Only 35 eligible participants so far with 1 week to go before someone wins this beautiful Kershaw Kai, Macho Libre 2120 Lockback. I encourage everyone who is eligible to enter now if you haven’t already done so. Failure to enter will increase the odds of winning for those that did; go ahead, be a spoiler!

Sasquach's (Charlie) pick of 131 was 6 less than the winning lottery number drawn last night of 137 making his pick the closest to the winning lottery number without going over, congratulations! A PM has been sent to claim the prize! ::ds::

Congrats to our winner, that is a nice one to win.
One thing I always wondered about, what would happen if there was no winner? For example, the number drawn was 006 and no one picked a number below 006?

I would probably make a command decision and award the prize to the individual closest to the lottery number. I’ll have to check but we’ve had a pretty consistent run of low number picks that would negate that opportunity. Good question.
