All About Pocket Knives

This month we have our perennial anonymous donor who (by my records) is making his tenth (10th) February knife donation, thank you, Mr. Anonymous February!

This year the donation is a Sears Craftsman 9470, a 3-blade stockman (clip, sheepfoot & spey) measuring 4" closed. This knife is New-Old-Stock (NOS) and comes with the original tube. A special offering for a USA-manufactured knife by Camillus by a special donor.

Instructions for entering the giveaway...

Simply click here and select a number between 0 and 999.

You will have until February 28th (6:00 P.M. Eastern) to pick a number, after which entries will not be considered. The Illinois State Lottery evening pick-three drawing will determine the winner on February 28th. The individual closest to the selected number without going over will win. The Illinois lottery results can be found on the following website:

Ditto what Dan said.

Thanks for your continued donations Mr. Anonymous! Your too kind!

That is a very cool knife I'd love to win!

Thanks Tom.

Thank you for your continuing generosity "Mr. Anonymous"!

Thanks for the chance! Very generous of you!
I'm in, thank you!

Mr. A.- thanks for the donation. Those Sears knives are really
a nice relic. I don't have this one but have 6 other Craftsman knives.

Mike! to AAPK! If I'm not mistaken, you need to have at least 100 posts to be eligible to enter these contests, that or you've been a previous donator to the contest, so I don't think your entry will be honored. Not a big deal though, just start posting and before you know it the March GAW will roll around for you to enter. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news bud!

actually Mark it’s at least 100 posts to be eligible to win these contests …. we have no way at this point of blocking who enters, just who is eligible to win.

Ah ha, I stand corrected Tom. Thanks for the clarification, I'd hate to be spreading false info. Darn it, I still don't have this "reading" thing mastered!

No worries! I never win anyway! I discovered AAPK a few weeks ago and lurked to see what it's all about before signing up. Good stuff here, and as I mentioned on my "new member" into post, I'll be posting some specific questions/info soon and joining ya'll around the campfire for good knife discussion/info. THANK YOU -- NO WORRIES about the entry! --mike

Welcome Mike - your positive attitude will serve you well in our forums and like Mark said earlier, I’ll bet you’ll be eligible for and WINNING one of our forums very soon.

Right now we have 2 giveaways each month. The Forum Member donated giveaway starts on the 1st of the month and ends on the last day of each month. This giveaway has been running since 2004!

We recently started an AAPK Store Owner giveaway that starts on the 15th of each month and ends on the 14th of the following month.

Both can be found here: viewforum.php?f=23

Once again Mike

We're glad you're with us Mike. As Tom mentioned, your positive up-beat attitude is most refreshing and welcome, you're gonna fit right in. There are very few rules on this forum since the mods let us pretty much run wild, short of foul language and verbal attacks on other members or store owners, so feel free to post your knives for all to see along with any text you wish to post about the knives or questions you want answers to. It's real easy participating here, you'll see!

A few hours remain to win that beautiful Sears Craftsman 9470 3-blade stockman -- if you are eligible to win and haven't entered yet, please do so now or risk missing the deadline. Once again, thank you to Mr. Anonymous February for another very fine donation.

Congratulations to TPK whose pick of 969 was 22 less than the winning lottery number drawn last night of 991. A PM has been sent to Tom awaiting his reply to claim the knife. For those of you keeping track of such things, Tom was the donor of last month's monthly forum member knife giveaway (January 2023) and here he is now redeeming his good karma as a winner.

Thank you to the other 50 participants who gave it a shot, I encourage you to keep participating in the giveaways and consider being a donor in the future to get yourself some of that good karma. Peace

Congrats, Tom! You got yourself a really nice stockman. A donor the previous month and the winner the following month...how cool is that. I don't believe we've ever had a donor/winner back to back.

Congratulations Tom. I have a knife similar to the one you won.
It is a very nice knife.

Bob

Congratulations Tom!

Well look who's the lucky one!!! Congrats Tom, bet it goes directly into your pocket.
