Here are the guidelines, folks. Please review them before you register for a lottery.

- There will be one stock knife per week
- Up to 25 entries in the lottery
- There will be an announcement and a link in my subforum to Google docs registration.
I will post a link with registration on Mondays, at 7pm, and the drawing will be held on Fridays, at 7pm or sightly after
- Entries will have to be submitted weekly (knives will vary from week to week, no same knife two weeks in a row)
- I will decide what knives to make each week and make an announcement in the beginning of that week.
- To be eligible, you have to be a KKF forum member with a minimum of 10 forum posts (you will be asked to list your forum post count) regardless if you have a knife on order with me or not
- If one wins, one won't be eligible to participate in another lottery for 6 months
- If one wins and decides to cancel a custom order knife, no problem (one can cancel at any time before I get to work on the knife)
- Should one win and decide one doesn't want a knife, another random selection will run, if the next person decides he/she doesn't want it either (just in case) the knife will be offered on first-come-first-served basis
- I will ask my wife to run the drawing to assure impartiality on my part
- Knives will have same 7 day return warranty as my custom knives
- These guidelines are a subject to change

After 25 participants sign in, I am going to lock the list.

Thank you,

Marko

PS: I hope the Googledocs is working properly. I have never done this before, so please let me know if there are any issues.
 
How on earth do I enter my details..

Any chance that in future we'd be able to get pics at the time of posting? And how does international postage work?

E: Done it, seems to be working fine. Good luck guys
 
EDIT: Waited for a bit and it unlocked and let me edit...

Was able to get into list but it is crashing and telling me I need permission to access...

You need permission

Want in? Ask the owner for access, or switch to an account with permission. Learn more
 
I think I got on the list, but now it's asking permission before I can go in
 
marko, I am trying to add name to list but cant edit cells.
 
cool beans, I had to fire up laptop, been using iPad, which the spreadsheet didnt like, :lol2:
 
yes, it worked. I am number ten. thanks
 
Thanks for the opportunity! I suggest Lignum Vitae for the main handle body!
 
Thanks for the suggestion.

Just a quick note, the sign-up will end either when there are 25 people on the list, or by 9:00 am EST on January 21, whichever happens first.
 
There was a partial entry just for the location (Canada). I cleared it. Please reenter.
 
Silly question but to avoid any confusion, is our number the cell reference number (A5) or our order on the list (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.)?
 
Thanks everybody who participated.

I will post the WIP pics on the knife through the week and the completed knife on Friday. The drawing will be held on Friday at 7pm EST and I will post the winner shortly after that.

Marko

PS: Going forward I will include an extra row for numbers, but this time it was not necessary, as there were 20 participants.
 
If someone wins, then decides they don't want the knife, does that still mean they can't enter for 6 months?
 
The knife comes with 7 days return.

I put this condition, as I trying to limit lotteries to people who want that particular knife and create decent odds for the participants. I will see how things go after 2-3 knives I produce for lotteries, conditions are subject to change (all are), so I don't exclude shortening or even removing the six month condition for the winners.

Thanks,

Marko
 
The winner of this week's drawing is bear1889. Congratulations.

The knife is still in works, and I am likely to finish it on Sunday or Monday latest. WIP pictures are coming.

Thank you,

Marko
