Alright, I think I've made everyone wait long enough, and I've had enough time to contemplate my choices.  So, without further ado, I present to you (drum roll) our selections!!!

First up is for my brother-in-law.  He was considering getting a multi-tool to carry in his truck.  I figured this nice little Gerber would fit the bill after a little cleaning, oiling, and sharpening.



Next up are my son's selections.  He thinks this GAW box is an awesome idea.  I'm trying to instill in him the idea of giving and paying it forward.



Last, and definitely least, are my selections.

* The SAK-A-Like on the left, with the wood scales, looks like a cool little project where I can practice tearing it apart, cleaning it, shining it up, etc, before I try on a larger SAK.
* The pocket knife in the middle will make a good donor to fix my wife's grandfather's knife.
* The Nextool had caught my eye since the last time I had the GAW box.  Don't know why but it just keeps grabbing my attention.
* I've been considering a small fixed blade and the SOG fits the bill.  I carried it all day today at my back on my belt.  Didn't bother me sitting down as I was afraid it would.
* Gotta have an awesome SAK keychain to go with that awesome Minichamp.
* I've been contemplating picking up a small pry bar and this Keysmart will help me decide if a pry bar is for me.
* Lastly, I figured I needed that cool green lanyard for a SAK project I've had in mind for a while



I thought that maybe I was pulling too much out of the GAW box, however, I still had to play Tetris to get it to all fit in there.  The box is still pretty darn heavy too.

I can't guarantee that I'll get the box out to Poncho this week, as we're getting read for my sister-in-law's wedding this weekend, but I can definitely get it out by early next week.

 :cheers:

I like all of these selections.  The early Gerber MP (Mr. Pinchy) is still one of my all-time favorite multitools as I carried one for about 10 years.  Mr. Pinchy has earned the nickname, though, so please warn your brother-in-law that he will get bit at some point.

 :like:  My favorite was the Mini....no, the Opinel....but the Mini is sooo.....Opis are so cool....the Mini makes me salivate....Opinel.....?  What make is the pocket knife that you are going to use for parts?  I picked up a little knife for my brother in law last time I had the box.  Fortunately, unfortunately he hasn't bothered to visit, so I am keeping it for my own greedy self.  Best wishes.  G

 :iagree: Mr. Pinchy was one of the items I thought about keeping. Hope your BIL enjoys it, and best wishes for the soon-to-be-married couple! :cheers:

What make is the pocket knife that you are going to use for parts? 

The makers marks are unfortunately long gone.  Looks like they may have been filed/sanded off when they were trying to sharpen it.





It's probably best I don't know so that I don't feel bad about taking this one apart.  It'll be my first time taking this type of knife apart.  I'll take plenty of pics so we can all see how bad I do.   :rofl:

Nice picks there!  I almost snagged that SOG when I had the box last, cool knife, but decided against it  :cry:

   I was in the post office this morning and it was pretty busy.  Personally, I would be antsy about shipping anything until after Christmas.  Too many chances for things to go missing or get smashed.  According to the clerk, 12-19 is the final date for guaranteed before Christmas delivery of Priority Boxes.  Best wishes.  G

Oh, sorry about that.  Forgot to update y'all.

I was able to get the post office on Friday by 4pm.  The package is still in transit.  The jackalope got held up by traffic and crazy weather patterns.  Looks like it "should" get to Poncho by Thursday afternoon.  Provided it doesn't run into a herd of carrots crossing the interstate.  All hope is lost if that happens.

Yup. All bets are off if carrots are involved. :dunno:

I'm ready to take it again after Poncho unless anyone else who hasn't had it before wants it.

As of now the package is in Nashville, TN, so hopefully I get by tomorrow or Saturday at the latest :ahhh Things usually get here quick from there but the last week or so it has been a bit slower. That is due to the Christmas rush I am sure :salute: will let everyone know when it does get here though :tu:

I will send it off to Alan next, unless of course someone jumps in that hasn't had it as Alan has suggested :salute:

Can't wait to see everything you select Poncho.  Take all the time you need.  The Jackalope surely needs the rest.
