I asked MITunnelRat if it was okay to post this and he gave me an affirmative. This guy makes pretty cool custom knives and is currently having a contest to give away a custom knife with Kydex sheath, no strings attached. The winner will be picked by a random number generator on May 7, 2012. I've already entered so I'm in. Only one entry per person. This guy makes some pretty good looking knives besides the one he is giving away. So go ahead and enter. Who knows? One of us ants might win!

Im in for a new knife! My go-to, zombie decapitating-can opening-wire cutting-fingernail pick-spear knife just landed in Afghanistan with a buddy of mine who wanted a good knife..., so I find myself bladeless.

Eagle I'll take very good care of your knife. Of course you do want me to give it a good testing for you, right?

Do your best at torture testing Backpacker. If it can't take a Bad Attitude Test by a man from Tennessee then neither of us need it. If you need a few extra days that's good. :cool:

I'll do an in depth review when I get it, but............. I've never really had a custom knife like this so I may be a little easy on it. But, yes I about flipped when I got the e-mail and saw I had won. Incidentally, Dan (the maker) has gotten a lot of grief over this at some of his other forums. Sour grapes? Maybe, but he will be running another contest, so keep checking his website. I talked to him today and he is a very nice guy. His prices are pretty reasonable too.

Way to go grumps!

If it doesn't fit your hand nicely or something... It would do well in cementing the US/Canada relations...

Yeah, I was so excited I left something out, so I hit the back button and added what I wanted to say and then hit the post button. I saw posted twice and did the Homer Simpson Doh and a good face palm. And what's wrong with sucking gravy? Gravy, like bacon and garlic, improves everything! LOL

Grumpy, don't go easy on it! I want to know if its as bomb-proof as my Morris knives! This isn't to say abuse it though. I don't baton with mine, for instance.

Congrats!

For a vood test send it over here to East Tennessee and I'll be happy to give it a work out in the heat and humidity. Then send it back to you of course. :)
