*** The Dean 51 Traditional Challenge 2023 ***
on: June 20, 2023, 02:08:23 AM
It's getting close to July so I figured it's about time to start this years challenge thread   :woohoo:


In honor of our friend and brother Dean51 we are doing a 30 day Traditional challenge in July.   :salute:







• Carry a Traditional pocket knife every day from 01 July through 30 July
• Post a photo of your daily carry every day.
  -- Please label your official daily post with either the date or challenge day, e.g. "Day 01".
• Please post a comment or two about how you used your knife, or why your traditional needed to be augmented by some fancy new multitool thingy.
• Traditionals can be switched up during the challenge, but for the GEC badge you must carry a GEC every day.



Hope you will take a moment to remember Dean and join in!  :cheers:



If we have enough interest we could perhaps do a Case Badge if enough people want to do a Case challenge

I thought about joining in for the Case badge, but I've decided against it. Challenges work best for me when I have a decent assortment of the challenge gear (ability to do 30 in 30 is ideal), especially when that gear is a knife. I don't think I'm quite there with Case, and it's been a long while since I've added a new trad. So while I won't be joining in this time around, I'll most assuredly check in.

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

Sorry to learn your decision Dan🥲

Last year GA1dad did the MEMORIAL with the GEC Bull nose(?), a sod buster style. Found a use for it every day.  I thought that was so cool.

Remember it is not about the tool, it is LUV of the knife, sharing your respect to your SHARP finger extension and remembering a member that shared his knowledge and his respect by sharing everyday…

We awl have a story, 1 or 100, we still have are favorites, some pretty, some not, BUT awl are sharp🤪
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I totally get it, and that's why I've not done the GEC one, as I only have about 5 to choose from.  They are 5 really good ones though! 
It is nice to keep it fresh and interesting.  I have about 10 Cases, so I'm gonna give 'er a go.

Looks like we have nine going for the Case badge. Ten participants are needed for a badge. :think: I'll count up the Cases and see if I might maybe have enough to make a run at it.

 :like: My original plan for the Tween Challenge was to use four tools,,,, one for each week of the challenge.  It didn't work out that way though. Other than a couple of cameo appearances,  I have stayed with the same Cadet.

There is no rule saying you can't carry more than one traditional during the challenge. A few of us carry two or more daily  :D
You can carry a Case and a GEC, for instance. Or any other brand, but you only get one badge  :tu:
