Schrade Century Giveaway for testing

[dks]

Schrade Century knives are very similar to Victorinox Swiss Army Knives and are not being made anymore.
I have been thinking about doing this for some time, but kept forgetting..
So:

I will give a member here either a new Schrade Century CN41 Pulsar or a new CN31 Steward (their choice) on the understanding that they will use it well (hardish) and compare its general performance with a similar Victorinox.
I know I will never really use them, so I will give someone else the chance. The winner does not have to destroy the knife (which will definitely fail the “spine whack” test), just use it and tell us how it fared.

Here is a picture of both
The CN41 Pulsar (=Victorinox Spartan without the Reamer) is at the top and the CN31 Steward (=Victorinox Waiter) at the bottom

Usual system, choose a number from 1 to 100, keeping the list at each post; whoever gets it or gets closer wins. If there are two numbers equally apart from the winning number then the  larger one will win.

I will let it run until Wednesday evening , 19:00 (here) so that I can post the knife on Thursday.
Worldwide cheap shipping so if you do not want to tell me where you live do not take part. 

I have PM'd Grant the winning number, so that he can verify that the winner is chosen fairly. (naturally, Grant can not take part... but everybody else, irrespective of rank here is welcome.)

As  scouter of some 15 years and a truck driver I would be able to give a hard time to either knife so it would get very well used for sure. I am in with number.

I'm in.  I work in a body shop and use my knives and tools hard every day. 

Great idea for a giveaway!

I can't really give it a good workout, so I'm going to sit this one out.
Thanks though

Not a hard user here either, but I'm interested in the results

Hard use occasions come and go, not likely soon though. Good luck to the contestants, we'll await your report!

do not be afraid to join in.

By hard use I mean Hard use for this type of tool, not prying open or stabbing doors,  and battoning wood (usually)

Absolutely.  When I say I use my tools hard, I mean I USE them, I don't ABUSE them.  Using a SAK style knife to pry or stab is just asking for a large chunk to go missing out of your hand.

 I just did not want to put people off by making them think this would be a destruction test.
We all use Swiss Army knives and should be able to test this Schrade's abilities
