Josh's Traveling Maverick

A knife goes around the world

A few Weeks ago iKnifeCollectors own Josh Wills won a knife. Too cool HuH? We all love a give away and being the winner is awesome. Josh had a generous and wonderful idea that we are going to follow and feature right here. As a matter of fact we would like your help.

Josh suggested turning this knife into a 'traveler'. He had the idea of passing the knife around to people that were interested in using it for a week or so and then sending it on to someone else that wanted to try it out. Along the way, you'd add your name and what part of the world you live in to a slip of paper that stays with the knife so there would be a bit of a diary / travelogue accompanying it.

Here's some basic rules to participate:

1) If you agree to take the knife as an 'adoptee', you agree to post a short note on the forum about where the knife is, how it's used and performed. We'd also REALLY like to see a photo(s).

2) You will also be responsible for paying the postage to send the knife to the next participant.
3) Understand, you'll have to share your contact info with the person shipping the knife to you so if that's a problem, don't sign up.

4) Forward the knife after about a week. We don't want it to end up sitting on someone's desk for a month.

LOL, actually I did. Rubbed that oil all over the blades. Shined up the bolsters and shield too. Anymore rubbing would have qualified as a "Happy ending".

Well not today but hopefully tomorrow or Friday! The suburb of Hazlewood is in St. Loius. takes another day or two, they may send to Cape Girardeau, then onto me. These Rural Routes are seldom traveled!

Does your mailman ride a bicycle and blow a whistle when he delivers? That would be really old school.

Not quite, but he does drive a jeep, in 4WD, to deliver to my mailbox which is perched on the side of the road, currently with a red bow on it for the Maverick. Most days, I walk the half mile to see what the postman brings. In a town of less than 200 we all know each other!
