Black Friday Mystery Knife Drawing 2025

Black Friday Sales always brings a lot of energy to our community. People are hunting for deals, adding to their collections, gifting knives to friends, or treating themselves to something new. This year, we decided to add a little extra excitement by hosting a Black Friday Mystery Knife Drawing. The response surprised even us. Thousands of knife fans entered, shared, tagged their friends, and waited to see what the mystery blade would turn out to be.

Today, we finally get to reveal the winner and the knife that stirred up all the buzz.

Congratulations to James C.

After going through the full drawing process and verifying everything to keep it fair, we are happy to announce that James C. is the winner of the Black Friday Mystery Knife Giveaway. We reached out to let him know, and let’s just say his reaction made all the behind-the-scenes work worth it.

James, this is a serious piece to add to your collection. We hope it becomes something you enjoy for a long time.

A Look at the Prize: A Damascus Blade With Real Character

We called it a mystery knife, but the prize turned out to be something truly special. The winning knife is a handcrafted fixed blade made with pattern-forged Damascus steel. If you know Damascus, you already know why this blade got so much attention. The steel patterns are natural, unique, slightly unpredictable and always beautiful. Every line in the pattern is a result of the craft and the metalworking process, and that gives the knife a personality you can’t copy.

The blade shape is also worth talking about. Instead of a straight utility profile, this knife has a sweeping edge that feels balanced and powerful in the hand. That curve gives you smooth cuts and a striking silhouette that stands out on a shelf or in the field.

Then there is the handle. The maker used polished bone, which gives the knife a grounded, traditional feel. Bone handles aren’t just for looks. They are durable, naturally grippy, warm in the hand and full of natural variation. No two look the same, which adds to the uniqueness of the prize.

To complete it all, the knife comes with a custom hand-tooled leather sheath. It is stitched, fitted and detailed specifically for this blade. The sheath protects the knife and adds that old-school, handcrafted charm that so many collectors appreciate. It is the kind of pairing you want to show off.

Why We Do These Giveaways

Knife Depot isn’t just a place to buy gear. We have always felt that our community is the heart of what makes this space special. Giveaways are a way for us to say thank you and to keep the excitement alive for the collectors, the everyday carriers, the outdoors people and the fans of beautiful steelwork.

We also love seeing reactions when someone receives a knife like this. A handmade blade holds a story. Someone shaped it, hammered it, sharpened it, polished it and sent it out into the world. Handing that story over to a community member is something we truly enjoy.

If You Didn’t Win, Stay Close

Giveaways like this are not a one-time thing for us. The turnout for the Black Friday Drawing showed us how much the community loves these moments. We already have ideas for the next giveaway. It might involve a larger build, a different style of steel or something custom that will get collectors talking again.

If you want to be part of the next one, make sure you are following our social channels and subscribed to our email list. That is where we announce everything first.

Thank You to Everyone Who Entered

We appreciate every single person who participated, shared the post, tagged a friend or simply showed love for the mystery blade. You help keep this community alive and growing.

Congratulations again to James. Enjoy the knife and carry it proudly.
