Giveaway Update

I promised to give away three knives on December 15th. Well, it's the night of December 15th as I'm writing this right now, and only three non-abstaining users have posted, obviously excluding myself. Well, that's all neat and tidy, isn't it? Everyone wins, nobody loses.

I'll be picking among the three of you at random, one at a time until all three knives are claimed. Watch out for a private message.

Original Post Follows:

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you've all seen this.

Do you want one for yourself? I assume you do, because you clicked on this. Well, here's the deal: In order to spread some Ninja Cheer (and to do what I think the cool kiddos are calling "drive engagement") I'm going to give away one each of these three colorways of my Harrier Utili-Song:

Here's all you have to do: Post yer durn knives to this community, and talk about them. That's it.

High effort, low effort, what you post and how much you post does not matter. Any user who makes an actual on-topic contribution to this community between right now at this very minute and December 15th will be put on the list, and I will pick three winners from that list at complete random.

I'll pick one at a time and whoever wins first can pick their choice of design, the second winner can choose from the two that are left, and the last poor bastard gets what's left over. If nobody posts, I'll keep all three of them for myself. See if I care.

Or who knows, maybe someone this will decide this is against the rules and we'll all get banned. But I read the entire ToS and I don't see anything prohibiting this, so let's roll them dice!

The Fine Print

I'm opening this to US residents only because I'm not made out of friggin' money and shipping stuff all overseas and everywhere will probably bankrupt me. Plus, it's likely that anywhere outside of here in Freedom Land, you'll find it's illegal to import a balisong or balisong-like-object anyway. Winners must attest that they are at least 18 years of age, and it is your responsibility to determine whether or not a balisong is a legal object to possess where you live; that's not my problem. Also, I will ship these without blades included. You'll have to provide your own.

Winners must agree that I take responsibility for nothing. Offer has no cash value and you can't sue me for anything. What you get is what you get, and if your Harrier lasts you a thousand years or breaks instantly makes no difference to me because I'm not going to do anything about it either way. Winners further agree to hold me harmless for any event or condition which may transpire in any manner subsequent to receiving the aforementioned item. If you don't agree, you can sod off and I'll pick someone else in your place.

What a great thing to do for the community here! Is this for lemmy.world only or can this be cross-posted?

I am going to be posting but I don't need to be in the drawing as my friend is already printing parts from those awesome STL files. ๐Ÿ˜€

Well, if you cross-post a post into this community I think that should count. What instance a post came from doesn't matter as long as it fits the community.

The only other really active community I've found in the Lemmyverse (for just knives and not overall EDC) is here: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

I cross-posted it there and hopefully members of that group will also post here on lemmy.world.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
