Hello all,

Once again it is time to give back to the board that has given so much to me. I have been a member of BladeForums for one full year and I’m proud of that. :)

I had been planning this GAW for a little while now and some recent fortune has positively changed what the prizes will be. :thumbsup:

Before we get to the prizes, let’s go over the rules. This GAW is open to all (since we’re all just Beckerheads or future Beckerheads) that meet this initial qualification:

To be eligible, you must have posted 30 times on the Becker Board from 3/11/18 to 3/10/19. That’s one full year and I feel that is very fair. I will check this criteria before announcing a winner. Heck yeah, I want to reward those who are active here. :thumbsup:

To enter, please post a pic of your BK&T collection or a pic of a significant portion of your BK&T collection. :D

One entry per person. You are allowed a second entry if you have run a GAW in the past year.

No proxies (meaning: no “if I’m selected, please give this to XXXX”). Enter for yourself!

This is open to all regardless of location. Heck yes, you international fellas should enter! :)

This contest will run from 3/10/19 to 3/20/19. I will randomly draw winners shortly thereafter. GAWs will be mailed out promptly.

Any entries that deviate from the rules will be ignored without a response. Please follow the rules!

Now on to the GAWs...

Top prize:
Some of you saw that I won a BK4 Machax from BladeForum’s 20th anniversary GAW last week. It’s a great blade, but I already have two, so this one is getting passed forward. It’s new in box. All credit for this awesome prize should be directed at the creator of our virtual hangout, @Spark. He has blessed my decision to forward this. Thank you, Spark! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Not shown in the pic; the winner will also get a zip lock bag that has three sets of stainless hardware (just in case you want to upgrade).

Second prize:
From that recently available supply of Camillus Neckers comes a fully upgraded and murdered out BK11. It’s wearing factory micarta that I dyed and added stainless hardware to. I box stitched a black lanyard for easier pull. It also comes in premium azwelke azwelke kydex that I made leather straps for so you can wear it horizontally. New but not in box.

Third prize:
Another upgraded murdered out Camillus Necker. Wearing dyed micarta (with stainless hardware) and azwelke azwelke kydex. New but not in box.

Fourth prize:
An upgraded BK14 wearing black plastic factory scales (you’ll get the orange too), has stainless hardware, and I have added a Ka-Bar TDI belt clip to its factory sheath. New but not in box.

Fifth prize:
A naked Camillus BK11. No sheath. Consider this your blank canvas, make it yours. New but not in box.

Consider this GAW immediately open. Good luck all! :D

I like to get In this, but how do I check how many posts I have in the Becker forum.
 
Geof, what a fantastic giveaway! I don't enter many giveaways these days but I really like the looks of those Cam Neckers so if you do not object, I'd like to submit an entry.

It has been quite some time since I've had a family shoot and I think I've added more than few more blades to the collection. However, below you will find the last group photo I took as well as some of the additions that I have made since then.

I found myself a 15.

I then got my hands on a sweet 20! It is a LOT dirtier now...

Of course, how can I forget the 62?

I've also added a second 16, 7, and 9 since as well. A new family photo is most definitely warranted.
 
Wow, your generosity is beyond awesomeness GeofS GeofS ! :)
Especially cool that overseas members are allowed in as well.
I'm a bit ashamed to enter with my minimalist Becker collection... :eek:
But the BK4 ... man... That's Becker grail material.... :D

Anyway, my collection has 2 items, the badass Beckerhead patch, and my well loved BK7, dressed in the red handles.
(so technically I also have the standard black handles in my collection, ha, that makes 3 BK items, I feel better already :p)

Pictures below capture more of the feeling that the Becker knives (and these forums!) represent to me....
being outdoors, enjoying nature, building fire and enjoy simple food/drinks while out in the 'wild' :
