Dear Members,
Saint Patrick's Day is just around the corner. You may know that it is a big holiday here at Emerson Knives.
Ireland, the land of poets, musicians, writers, and leprechauns. Its the land of emerald green, shamrocks and shillelaghs. Its the land of Warriors.
The contrast of the Irish has always entranced me in a way I find hard to describe. On one hand they are as a whole, the friendliest most fun loving and warmest people I have ever known. On the other hand they are the toughest, most hard boned fighters the world has ever known. It is a fact that those of Irish descent have been the mainstay of the U.S. military since the Revolutionary War, suffering more causalities than any other ethnic group. It is a fact that most of our greatest military commanders and generals are of Irish descent. Naval Special Warfare once did a study to see why so many Navy SEALs were of Irish descent. And then there are the Irish Boxers. The list goes on and on.
Join me in celebrating Saint Patricks Day this year and honoring the land of the poet warrior. We have created two special knives, the Irish Commander and the Irish Shepherd (the Sheepdog). Both of these knives are adorned with the color of the Emerald Isle and Shamrocks in honor of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
So lets do something different this year. Join me in celebrating the day when everyone is Irish. At 7:00 PM Pacific time on St. Patricks Day I will drink a toast with my favorite Irish Whiskey and I ask you to join me by doing the same with your favorite. Just take a photo and hashtag it #EmersonIrishToast and well all celebrate together. Be careful though, your mug will be seen by thousands. Have fun, Enjoy, be safe.
Proud to be Irish Every day of the year.
