GAW = GLBM's 2000th Post MT/Knife/Loupe GAW
on: May 20, 2018, 07:51:46 AM
This is my official 2000th post and official first GAW.
This is an awesome group of people on  :MTO: And I want to pay it forward.  :cheers:

The guidelines are as follows:
I will use a random number generator to find the winner. The range will be 1-10,000.
The only stipulation I am imposing is this:
Your number cannot be within 10 points of another member's guessed number.
Example. If another member's guess is 4,327, then the closest numbers to that you can post will be 4,317 or 4,337.
This is to prevent someone losing the GAW by a single number. No decimal points please.
I will pay international shipping up to about $20US. Over that, I may need you to chip in a few bucks. Hopefully not, but I cannot imagine it being too much higher than that.

The prize is this:
1x Ganzo Firebird Chromium F301 MultiTool w/ Chromium Bit Kit and Nylon Sheath.
AND
1x Morakniv Robust with Plastic Sheath.
AND
1x 10x Jeweler's Loupe to examine your MT/SAK collection with. :D

The GAW will last TEN days. GAW closing will be May 30th 11:59pm Central US time.
Good luck, y'awl! :multi:

I have the exact same loupe and the same Ganzo (only in beadblasted finish), and I'm really not an outdoors person, have no need for the Mora (and it's not even legal size here), so I'll won't take part in this GAW, but congrats on the post count GLBM!  :cheers:

I think the winner will be extremely surprised at the quality of the Chromium Firebird. A good bit better fit and finish compared to the basic black coated F301 Ganzo. :tu:

Congrats on the milestone, gerleatherberman! Thanks for your generosity!

 :cheers: :tu:

Having said that, you could have stipulated the range between 0 and 1.000, then multiplied the entries by 10 and this way you'd be sure there was at least a 10 number gap (or multiple of 10) between every entry. The way it is now, the gap can be up to 19. You end up having lots of numbers unavailable.

Like this:
100, 119, 138, 157, 176, 195, 214, 233, 252, 271, 290

With range between 0 and 1.000, then multiplied the entries by 10:
100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200

 :think: :think:

Nevermind, must be some OCD thing...

That system is great in theory, but the practical application in this thread would be confusing to say the least. Or should I say, it would be difficult for ME to convey the system to others. I already had a hard time rewording what I did to make sense. It's difficult having mild dyslexia.  :ahhh
Thanks for trying to help though. You definitely get an OCD-crown of decimal valued material. :tu:


Thanks to everyone who has joined so far! This is going to be a fun prize to whoever wins! The F301 is a favorite of mine in the "non-big-brand" arena of MTs. :)
