Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I am going to give away a knife.  It is a Colt CT405 Skinner.  It is the knife I won in Tobias Gibson's contest.  I mean no offense to you Tobias but I am just not satisfied with it.  This discussion is a contest to give away the knife but I guess it is also a review of the knife.

The sheath goes with the knife but not the knife stand.  That was made for me by Jeremy Buchanan.

I took the knife to the woods with me to check out and download my game cameras.  Some brush was growing into the field of view of one of them.  I used it to trim the brush.  It just was not as effective as my Rough Rider Sidewinder doing the same type job

Here is a test I put the Rough Rider through.  If I could have done it at all with the Colt, it would have taken far longer.

It is not as sharp as the Rough Rider.  I sharpened both on my Smith's 2-Step sharpener.  I can slice a sheet of printer paper with the RR but not the Colt.  I must admit that I have never been able to sharpen a knife properly with a stone.  That's why I use the Smiths.

Someone who is able to sharpen a knife might be able to sharpen the Colt much better than me.

So I am not satisfied with it as a user but I also don't want to put it in my collection.  Even though I have several fixed blades, I am not really into fixed blades as collectibles.  If it weren't for the pommel, I might have put it in my collection anyway.   I mean, really, a hex nut for the pommel?!  Surely they could have done better!

All you have to do to win this knife is comment in this discussion and tell me why you want it.  Whoever, in my judgement, gives me the best reason gets the knife.  You will also be stuck with the lucky recipient of the pass-along knife!  Put your initials on it and pass it along!

So give me your reason and win a knife!  Even if only one person enters, you get the knife.  I will give it one week or as long as it takes to get one entrant.
