I am a HUGE fan of sharp pointy things, particularly those with an edge. Every year when my wife asks me what I’d like to get for Christmas, I always answer the same thing, magazine subscriptions (Backwoods Home, Fur-Fish-Game, Grit, Mother Earth News, BackHome, etc) and a knife. Or three. Her reply is always “You ALWAYS want that!”

It’s true. I must have over 50 different folding knives, and probably another twenty fixed-bladed knives. And that’s not counting the 15 or so multi-tools, particularly those from the Leatherman series.

I recently ran into a great deal on Columbia River Knife & Tool neck knives, and thought I would do the unthinkable – give some away.

I have two Side Hawg 2‘s 

And an original Side Hawg

I will be giving away one Side Hawg 2 to my Facebook followers once my “like” count reaches 100, and a Side Hawg and a Side Hawg 2 to my website subscribers once I get 100 subscribers. I write the content, now you go out and fine me more readers and get a chance at a sweet neck knife.

Rules:

  1. Two contests, run separately.
  2. A names list will be compiled on the Saturday following the day each list reaches 100. Each name will be given a sequential number.
  3. I will use this link to randomly generate numbers with the number of entries from Rule # 2, the first number in the generated list is the winner. For the web site subscribers contest, the second winner will be the second number.
  4. If I or any of my immediate family win, I will redraw.  I am a subscriber, of course! And I make the family read this stuff too!
  5. Delivery will be made either by myself locally, or via the USPS. I will require an address if you live out of the area. I pay shipping.
  6. Anyone under 18 can enter. In the event that someone under 18 wins, I will need to speak to a parent in the family and will verify that the prize is acceptable. Alternatively, I can hold it for you until you turn 18, should they decide you are not allowed to have it. I cannot fight a parent over their method of raising their own kid. And FWIW, the government should keep their noses out too.
  7. Anything I missed, I’ll make up as I go along. I WILL be fair. There are enough crooked things in the world, and I don’t need to add to the list. This is supposed to be a fun thing.
  8. If for some reason I do NOT get to 100 likes or 100 subscribers, I will do the drawing October 1, 2012.

To review:

I will be giving away one Side Hawg 2 to my Facebook followers once my “like” count reaches 100.

I will also be giving away a Side Hawg and a Side Hawg 2 to my two of my website subscribers once I get 100 subscribers (count is currently 66).

Peace (and good luck!),

  1. Very nice!! Just to think, when you are a famous blogging celebrity we will be able to say we remember your first giveaway – and it was a good one too.

    1. I would be a better one if you were to win, wouldn’t it?

      And I don’t think I want to be famous…I want to be off the radar….though supplementing my money needs with writing would be a dream come true…I’d take a little bit of fame – from like-minded people….so you are in 🙂

  2. Those are both slick little knives. Thanks for the chance. Like what I’ve read of your blog so far.

    1. It used to scare me when people would say they liked what I wrote…then I realized the other folks that thought I was crazy were wrong 🙂

      Thanks for stopping by… I hope I keep you entertained….and hopefully a little informed.
