Random.org picked
mhlee as our winner here. Congrats Michael, looks like you'll be playing with a new stone soon.
Whoa!!!!! :eek2:
First of all, thanks to Dave for this!!!
Second of all, I'm not a very experienced sharpener so I don't know how my knives or my pics will turn out. But, I am certainly looking forward to giving this stone a try.
However, I certainly don't have quite the collection of knives as many of you knuts do, and certainly won't be using this stone very often. :notworthy:
So, keeping in the spirit of this giveaway, I'd like to share this stone with other members.
I'll be the "stone keeper" - I'll be happy to care for it, flatten it, etc. I'll even try and craft a safe keeping box or container for it so it can be safely transported/mailed to the members.
I happen to live in Southern California. So I can either send it out individuals, or to a store, e.g. JKI (assuming Jon is willing), for periods of time.
All I ask is that each member be willing to pay for shipping to and from here and take good care of the stone. Or if you happen to be passing through the LA area, I can just hand it off to you and you can get it back to me however is convenient. Then, you can show us your pictures!!
I'll discuss with Dave what's the best way to do this and go from there.
Thanks again Dave. I really appreciate it.
