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.

Cool stuff. I have a knife PASS going on AAPK.

I signed up for this one as well. Can anyone tell me my position? Is it headed back to F-L-A soon?

Scott you are on the list. I wish I had known it before we shipped it out, I would have just crossed the bridge and handed it to you LOL. I will check the rest of the US stops and get back with you. Our thought process is that it will make its final US stop with Hog and then head to Canada, then the European tour begins. It may be a year before Josh actually has his winning knife in hand but it will sure have a history to share with him

Hey, I think he is having some wander-lust. He is getting lazy, hanging around that Gambler cousin of his. He wants to work though. 'Bout time he put his boots out on the street.

Hog! Are you ready for him?

You bet! We have farm chores just stacking up for him right now! There is hay to put out, wire to cut, equipment to clean and put away for winter....
