The winner was Andy Roy. Andy works at.... oh wait.... That can't be right. I guess this is what we get for leaving the Giveaway sign-up box on the Fiddleback Forge table....
Seriously, the winner will be chosen this afternoon. We're exporting the list of registrants from MailChimp into a spreadsheet and using a random number generator to pick the winner. We'll then make sure it isn't an entry from Andy, Allen, or any of the other guys at the shop that had nothing better to do than fill out entry cards. We'll then shoot a notice to this GPDO thread, our Facebook page, the Fiddleback Forge subform on Blade Forums, and an email blast to all entrants, pretty much simultaneously, announcing the winner to make sure no one misses it. We'll also have a separate email out to the winner to arrange shipping.
I believe our final entry count for the drawing was 455, so overall I'd say it was pretty successful.
For anyone that missed the newsletter signup, it is still worth doing as we are going to try to continue to offer discount codes, advanced knife/sheath product notices (we have a new sheath maker coming on board - Diomedes Industries), more giveaways in the future, etc. We've also done some crazy things, like register the domain "knife.porn" (no, it isn't live yet), so newsletter members will get a first hand account of our embarrassing failures as well!
