Give away details: I used RedditRaffler.com to select 11 winners from my previous post allowing entries. Reddit Raffler works by entering the post you want to draw winners from. You select criteria to draw winners from. I leave the criteria open, so no one is excluded. Press submit, and it pulls from all the comments.

I will include screenshots of the process as I did it. As well as a direct link to the results of the give away, so you can look at it yourself if you so choose to do so.

Prizes: Since we have such a large prize pool, I just wrote down all the items. Created bundles of prizes. And wrote down 1-11 before winners were drawn. Then I used the order given to me from the Raffler and assigned the winners in that order.

For the sake of ease LBB will stand for Leather Bundle and Bracelet. This is a handmade leather bundle which includes catch all tray, pen stand, pen sleeve, and wallet. As well as a handcrafted brass or copper metal bracelet.

I've been thrilled to see Big Idea really lean hard into developing their US capabilities! They have expanded the US shop quite a bit over the years since they introduced their first US made pen. The Ultem Fountain Edc.

Since that time, they've added more mills, more lathes, laser engraver, 3D printer, cerakote booth and oven, as well as more crew!

They've added the Bronze Pocket Pro and Stonewashed Ti Pocket Pro. Most recently they added the US Stonewashed Ti Bolt Action pen. As well as limited run colabs with CRK and McNees.

They didn't stop at pens! They introduced the US Lookout, first in Clip Point. But have already added a Tanto, Drop Point, and Reverse Tanto! With more blade shapes on the way! Wharnie coming soon?! Both in Magnacut and a smaller run of NitroV.

They created the Lookouts big brother, The Signal. Which is larger and a more robust knife, perfect for camping and outdoors adventures. These originally dropped in NitroV, but are now available in Magnacut!

My pens: Ultem Fountain Edc, Bronze Pocket Pro, Stonewashed Ti Pocket Pro, Ti Pocket Pro Cerakoted Tiffany Blue with DLC clip and black rings, Ti Pocket Pro Cerakoted UV reactive splatter, 1st Stonewashed US Bolt sold with Damascus bolt, Stonewashed CRK Zaan grip with blue anodized bolt.

My knives: 1st Tanto Lookout sold in Magnacut with Jigbone Ti scales and Ti bead, Clip Point Lookout in Magnacut with Ti scales and Ti bead, Reverse Tanto Lookout in Magnacut with green micarta scales and US mini pry green anno, Clip Point Lookout in Magnacut with natural micarta scales and Brass Damascus bead, Drop Point Lookout in Magnacut with blue G10 scales and blue bronze camo anno bead, Clip Point Lookout in Magnacut with orange G10 scales and Brass Damascus bead, Signal in Magnacut with natural micarta dyed sapphire blue with Ti bead.

Felt like a great day to rock all the blues!

Drop point Lookout with blue G10, blue bronze camo anno bead. Tempesti Cobalto lanyard and sheath wrap.

Blue bronze camo Overlook.

Blue Titanium cerakote bolt action with black clip, bolt, and top screw.

Wickett and Craig Double Stuffed Cobalt everyday notebook cover.

Lost Dutchman Finnigan wallet. It's molded really nice to all my stuff. I tucked the flap in with the card since I don't carry many. Use the front flap for cash. And added a beard comb slot. The high wear areas are darkening. It looks so good to me! Really been enjoying the wallet.

I've got more blue on a well. Double Stuffed Cobalt boots, belt, key clip, tool sheath. I love this leather!

Good evening my fine pen friends! I wanted to share something exciting! I am the creator and one of the mods of r/BigIdeaDesign. I really can't believe how fast this community has grown!

Couldn't resist this US Bolt! The Umnumzaan is the CRK knife that has intrigued me the most! To get that milled pattern on a Big Idea US Bolt was an instantaneous buy!

CRK logo engraved on the clip. Zaan textured milling on the grip. Blue anodized bolt! It's beautiful!

I just whooped up this little pen stand. Horween Brown Waxed Flesh. I've been wanting to make one for a long time. To be able to display a special pen between carries. And to take good pictures with. Turned out very well for a quick 5 minute make.

Saw this beautiful green pop up on the auction last week. Been wanting one of the US mini pry since they started showing them. I figured it would go well with my Best Damn Edc Lookout.

Great batch of stickers came along as well! Love it!

What dad wouldn't love high quality fine leather goods?

Over the years, I've managed to gather a nice set of leather goods from Nicks. Carry cases for my leather care. Key clips, key tags, drink sleeves, catch alls, coasters, work mats, and of course belts.

All the while my son, who's 6, has noticed all these things. Along with the leather gear I've made for myself that's Nicks doesn't make. He asked the other day if we could make him a belt. I said of course! I showed him the leather selections I have. What did he choose? Wickett and Craig English Bridle Cobalt! My boy! I told him we could definitely make a belt out of that! But I told him we should probably make another one that's brown or black, to go with more things. So we ended up making two belts. The WC EB Cobalt, and he chose 1964 Tan. I cut the lengths of the belts. But together we trimmed the ends round. He punched the holes. He screwed down the Chicago screws. He was so freaking excited! So happy! So proud of himself! Now that's the best father's day gift anyone could receive! The smile on his face melted my heart!

My Nicks journey has taken me many places. And the journey is far from over. Truly great items I am greatly excited to pass down my love for to my children. The benefits have already outweighed the cost... in one single afternoon of father son belt making.

US Bolts are officially live on the Big Idea site! First ever US made Bolt! With new tapered tip, and repositioned bolt for better lefty access. Big Ideas amazing stonewashed finish!

Plus two colabs! From great knife makers! Chris Reeve Knives and McNees knives. The Zaan textured grip from CRK, emulating the textured handle on the Umnumzaan knife! As well as the coveted frag grip from the McNees Dixon knife!

These all look sick!

I have the US Bolt already, and the slight changes they implemented are awesome! Everyone should have one of these! MITUSA baby!

Update from Kickstarter!

"Making great progress! Our factory partner is working hard to produce the knives. We currently have about 300 units of all parts finished and ready for assembly, and the rest are coming in very soon.

We’re still on track to ship in August. We’ll keep you updated as we get closer — please stay tuned!

Here are a couple of photos from our partner to share."

Guest appearance with the brand new MITUSA Bolt Action with the Damascus bolt.

Been a long time fan of Big Idea. My first purchase was in 2016. It's been a wild journey. Been very excited to see their US made line expand!

This is the first sold US Bolt! I won this from their Whatnot auction on Monday. Brantley was kind enough to sign the clip. He also marked it with "1st" very nice touch! I love it!

I have always loved the Big Idea Stonewashed. But the MITUSA stonewashed feels even better! Both the Pocket Pro and this Bolt feel incredible! Look incredible! Love the 13 stripes!

Included all of my Big Idea MITUSA pens. US Bolt Stonewashed. US Pocket Pro stonewashed, bronze, Tiffany Blue and black, UV Splatter. And of course the first ever MITUSA pen, the Fountain Edc in Ultem.
