 My Case mini stockman arrived from Sherry and it is a beauty.  I can't wait to carry it and you will all be seeing it prominently in next year's trad challenge.  Sherry this was very nice of you I can't thank you enough. I had to use the MP600 to open the package as that is my chosen tool for the Daredevil challenge, but it sure feels nice to have a proper knife in hand again.

SWEET!!!! :cheers:

Nice stuff!  It's always my hope for a GAW that the recipient will get something that he/she wouldn't normally buy or have the opportunity to have--to enjoy a new experience.  I think that all worked out well for these GAWs.

I'll admit that I was ready to get back to my normal routine after the challenge, but now I'm missing all the banter and participation.

What a great challenge it was!  :drink:  The best I've participated in yet.

I'm curious if anyone else found some pleasant surprises during the challenge.  Like maybe a neglected knife in your collection that you learned to appreciate?

Here is mine.  I'd had a couple of traditional Opinels already, including a No.7 that I carry from time to time.  But, I bought this one off Ebay in a small lot during the challenge, and it's found its way into my pocket on several occasions since the challenge ended.  The blade shape, the slim handle that carries better than a normal No.8, everything about it just works for me.

I realized how much I absolutely love the GEC 92, especially the coping blade.  This challenge was my first opportunity of really carrying and using it.

My experience was similar,,, but different. Through the 30 days I was able to narrow my preferences down quite a bit. While I have always appreciated quality, it was in this challenge that I realized I get a lot more pleasure from smaller traditional jack knives with only one or two blades. During the challenge I noticed a few "neglected" knives in my stuff that I chose not to pocket simply because of their large length/weight. Over the course of the challenge I was also inspired to sit down and fabricate and try using a leather pocket sleeve. More on that to come,,,,

Definitely my favorite Opie  :salute: :like: :like:

I did set a few aside that I may carry later on after the Mad Max Challenge  :whistle: ;) :D

I hadn't used or carried the #23 Trapper much, before the challenge. It turned out to be one of my favorite knives.
