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.

I enjoyed the opportunity to try out the Maverick. The rounded bolsters made it easy on the pocket. I used the knife to strip some romex & peel bark from a few cedar boards used for building a couple of chairs. Overall, it is a little small for me as an edc, so I would more likely carry this one when going out to dinner or church. It would make a good gentleman's knife.

Looks like some fairly heavy duty work for that GEC!

Too small? It's too big for an EDC for me! LOL! That's why there's so many different size knives!

Well lets see,

So far it has made some paracord items, helped remodel a kitchen and helped build some awesome chairs. Cant wait to see what the next few stops bring.
