~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Hello Fellow :spyder: ForumItes,

I have so many blessings in my life today, my life is very full & this knife forum & it's owners Sal, Eric etc, it's members, administrators, everyone from the top to the bottom, from the member with the most posts to the newest one or with the least posts I feel are all just one of them.


I want to give alittle something back or really I want to pay it forward :)

So here is the deal I am going to give away a new C10PBK Endura 4, Black FRN handles, with a slight twist this knife has had all it's metal parts like the VG-10 blade, the screws & hardware & even the lock beadblasted, it has never been used or carried just dissassembled, bead blasted, reassmebled & then the knife edge re-touched up on the sharpener for a nice clean edge.

There are no rules everyone can play I will ship this to the winner no matter where he/she lives so all you overseas members feel free to get in as well.

It will run for 7 days until next Sunday April 6th & I will use Random.Org (http://random.org/integers/) to pick the winner, your post # is your entry number so just say your in, or count me in, or I want to play, but please only one post entry per forum member. I dont care if you have 1,000 Spydies or none everyone is eligibal to play so please enter & play let's see how many get involved.

Here are some pics of the actual knife I am giving away & as I said shipping to the winner is on me, so if you have always wanted an Endura or if you love beadblasted finishes or if you just like to try to win stuff then lets have some fun. Oh yea so there are no suprises when you open it there is no pocket clip included I didnt get it with a clip so I dont have one to give :(


Thanks to all who played, it was fun : )


And The Winner IS > mrappraisit


Sincerely,
George Maggos

[dialex]

Hi George, thank you for the fun and congratulations on your very kind gesture.
It is a very beautiful knife you have there, but I'm afraid I'll have to pass this one. Even in the most unprobable event that I'd win, shipping it overseas would probably cost about half of the price of the knife, so all I can say is good luck to the participants and may the winner enjoy his new fine toy!

[Mickky76]

Count me in! Wow what a generous offer, thanks a lot, u r a legend

[jaislandboy]

congrats Shawn and thanks for the contest George :cool:
will pray for your speedy recovery too ;) :)

[mrappraisit]

Let me start by thanking George again, what a generous thing to do. I hope that all went well with the appointment.
I was away on vacation when the package came, and didn't get it opened until yesterday. The knife came safe and sound, and just as described. I transferred the clip from my D4, and am now carrying my new knife.
George even included a couple of goodies, one is a bottle opener that will come in handy with the impending summer heat, and one of those diamond shaped Spyderco knife display thingies (I don't know the correct name, and couldn't find it in the catalog:o ). Below is a photo I took this morning, enjoy:)

[GeorgeMaggos]

Hey Shawn,

I am glad you got the Bead Blasted Endura safe & sound it is a sweet knife I hope you enjoy it :) use it in good health.

The bead blasted VG-10 plain edged blade & hardware give that Endura a whole new look.

I also hope you had a nice vacation we all need those ;)

I sent you the bottle opener because I saw you live in Arizona & summer is on the way you may need to open a cold one now & then so thats what that was for ( I got a couple of those openers from the Miller people at a trade show so I thought I would share the wealth ) & the Spyderco diamond knife stand was for you to proudly display one of your Spydies on your dresser or nightstand or wherever you choose to just put one out to admire :)


Those CT02 & CT03 knife stands can be found in the Spyderco online catalog they are pretty sweet :D http://spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=98

Ok buddy I am glad everything made it to you it was my pleasure to host the giveaway I enjoyed doing it & I hope to be able to do another one like it soon.

I have found that giving is way better than recieving, it gives you a deep down good feeling nothing else I have done has been able to touch.


Take care & God Bless <><
