This is a GAW / Tribute for our good friend Bob Bendell, aka BigBiscuit. Duncan - Campbellclanman, Paul paulhilborn, and I, Ron Half/Stop, have been talking about this for several weeks. We decided that this was a great time to start this.
Bob, as most of the regulars in the Traditional Folders and Fixed Blade section of BladeForums already know, is fighting a battle with cancer. He has been a great friend to all of the members in this community. He has been a personal friend to Duncan, Paul and I, with many texts, PMs and phone conversations being exchanged over the last couple of years. This is why we decided to sponsor this GAW.
The rules are simple for this GAW:
1. You must have at least 50 posts in Traditional Folders and Fixed Blades before this OP.
2. You must state I am in in one of your posts. Please no Not an Entry type posts. This is a tribute to Bob, as well as a GAW.
3. Each member can have one I am in entry. However feel free to post your pictures and comments as often as you like.
4. You can post a picture of a knife that you got from Bob.
5. You can post a story of some experience or interaction you have had with Bob.
6. You can simply post Well Wishes or anything you want to tell Bob.
7. This GAW will run until 12:00 PM on Saturday 9/17/16. At this time 3 winners from all the posts containing an entry will be picked using a Random Number generator. Duncan, Paul and I have donated 3 beautiful knives for the prizes in this GAW. Of course we have excluded ourselves from this GAW, but you will see plenty of posts and comments from us three for sure.
8. The winners will have their choice in order of draw, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd from one of the three prizes shown below.
9. The best prize of all is BigBiscuit and his friendship to all of us here on The Porch!!!
Just as a note, some of you have probably noticed that the three of us along with others have been selling some knives on the exchange and donating the proceeds to Bob.
These are the prizes, listed in no particular order, because the winners will chose the order.
Good Luck to everyone! God Bless you Bob!
From Paul we have a beautiful 735109 BCL. Nice Stag on this one, just a beautiful knife.
From Duncan we have a classic. This is a 2015 2 blade TC Barlow. The pictures speak for themselves.
From me is another of Charlies classics, this one is a 2015 Washington Jack, in Smooth Ivory Bone.
