March 2015 Donation Draw Prize

Syph007 · **on:** March 05, 2015, 10:41:42 PM

Hello all! A few days late but I hope you'll still be interested in what I've got to give away.

Grant is super busy, so this month I offered to provide the prize and run the draw. I will choose the winner via my favorite method of knife throwing at a board with numbers on it to select the winner.

Lets get the official stuff out of the way first ...

In order to have a chance to win, you need to donate at least $10 to the Forum Operational Fund, which you can do by using the Donations link at the top of the page, the big orange Make a Donation button on the right or by following the following link:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=treasury

Each $10 donation earns another chance to win. If we hit the goal of $275 for the month we'll give away the prize to some lucky winner.

Ok! So now here's what is on offer. I didnt want to pre-build the prize so I will let the winner select what tools they'd like on a custom 93mm alox SAK.

I would normally offer up any color choice but Ive only got black scales on hand, so I will make up for the lack of color choice by also including polished brass liners which in my opinion provide the ultimate combination for a classy beautiful SAK.

The winner can select up to 4 of the following layers.

A. Awl / Main Blade
B. Combo tool / Main Blade
C. Wood Saw
D. Metal Saw
E. Pliers
F. Scissors
G. Bottle Opener / Can opener
H. Phillips driver / Bottle Opener / Can opener
I. Phillips driver / Mag glass

And we need to see some pics I know! So here are some shots of other black/brass custom alox builds I have done to give you an idea of what yours would look like!

This one is compact 3 layer.

This is a popular configuration I call the Urban Pioneer PhD

Here's a larger example that has pliers.

So hopefully that gives you an idea of what a custom black/brass themed alox SAK can look like!

Good luck to all who'd like to enter by supporting this fine forum!

Cheers!

Goal will be fulfilled in 3..2..1...

Seriously tho, any guesses how many times we'll fill the goal this time? I'll wager 3, considering the ABSOLUTE

-factor of Syph's custom goodness

Oh and I agree with the others above:

6 days into March, barely 12 hours since the prize was officially known and we've already hit 57%.

This'll cover the shortfalls from before

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #7 on:** March 06, 2015, 10:05:38 PM

Wow that is a sweet prize! Huge thanks for doing this Bob!

If I was to win (which I know I can't! ) I think I'd opt for the main blade and combo took layer, scissors layer and maybe pliers.

At least I think that would be my combo. What would everyone else choose?

That's easy Boss.

Main blade/awl
Scissors
Metal file
Openers + phillips

Not that I've spent any time thinking about this

Holy crap, what a prize!!!
OK everyone. Move along. Nothing to see here. I just donated a crisp 20, I pretty much can't lose!!! You guys don't stand a chance!!!

Seriously though, an incredibly generous prize. Good luck to all.

Freaver · **Reply #15 on:** March 07, 2015, 06:16:18 PM

This is literally the fastet I've ever seen the donations roll in at. 7 days in, not even 72 hours since the prize was announced and we're already at 84%.

Ya it feels pretty safe to think we'll make up the rest of the 40ish dollars before month's end.

Well we passed the goal with 20 days to go still... so it's safe to say I'll be building a custom SAK at month's end.

Are we double there yet?

Do you have a cool early bird prize too?

And a double prize?

As for my preferred SAK...
I think I'd go simple... Standard pioneer, just the phillips added, and a pocketclip if that's a possibility?

Yes to Early Bird Draw, and yes to double (and even triple!) Draws, although they won't be custom SAKs.

I think I would go bladeless since I always carry a folder, that way it would stay slim... D+F+H
