Congrats NS. I always choose 383 since it's part of my user name. Somehow I hit the enter button on number "1". I started to contact the mods and see if I could get it changed back to 383. Figured it wasn't worth the hassle.
Re: April 2019 AAPK Knife Giveaway
Rarefish, that is tough luck. But think how happy you made NS.

Congratts to the winner!!!!
Re: April 2019 AAPK Knife Giveaway
Well it's happened again NapalmSloth failed to respond to my PM with his/her shipping information within 10-days and the new winner of the April 2019 giveaway is MT-Vessel who now has 10-days to respond to my PM in his inbox.
Just so everyone is aware, the rules of the monthly giveaway were established by the site owner who is passionate about inclusion in the giveaway rather than exclusion. Many sites have giveaways that require a minimum number of posts over a certain period of time to participate, but AAPK has elected to open the giveaway to all registered members no matter how many posts you've made or how "active" you've been.
Sadly, in the year that I've been helping with the monthly giveaway, many months (like April 2019), I'm looking to the second or even third place winner because of the lack of response from the first winning member. To me, if I'm going to take a chance on a beautiful knife that somebody reached into their collection to giveaway, I'm going to find the time somewhere within 10-days after the number is chosen to check-back to see who won. A perplexing situation to which I don't have a good answer.

Sorry for the extra work bestgear.
MT Vessel, your vessel isn't quiet as empty now! Get that response in and the knife claimed. Congrats.

Re: April 2019 AAPK Knife Giveaway
Thanks for the sentiments Doglegg but it's not a biggie for me......I just feel bad for the first winners that have lost-out on some very special knives and a chance to forge a new friendship with the donor.

Re: April 2019 AAPK Knife Giveaway
We may never know the reasons a winner doesn't respond. I hope all is well.
And congrats to you, MT-Vessel!

Re: April 2019 AAPK Knife Giveaway
Fortunately, I noticed the pm waiting for me I sent a message in response to bestgear’s 10 day warning, but it appears not to be received yet. Fingers crossed it is read before the expiry date....
Regardless, a big thank you to the generous donor.

Re: April 2019 AAPK Knife Giveaway
I must say that I feel a bit like the Kentucky Derby horse that came in second but ended up winning! The giveaway lottery on AAPK puts this site over the top in my opinion. Thanks to Leeramundo (Stanley) for his generosity and to bestgear (Tom) for his organizational skills. Thanks too to my agent, the producer, director, the people in makeup and of course my wife and fans!!

Re: April 2019 AAPK Knife Giveaway
MT V. The 2nd place horse that came in first and that by the skin of your teeth. Well congrats anyway. That is a great little knife you won. Beautiful wood scales. And very gracious on the giver. We want more pic's when you get it.
Re: April 2019 AAPK Knife Giveaway
Well, I am home after an extensive absence and in the pile of mail waiting for me was my April Giveaway Queen Steel Barlow! Wow! It’s is now the Queen of my small barlow collection. Thanks Stanley! I assume your generosity is only exceeded by your good looks!
An appreciative,
