I'll be the second to admit I don't need another knife, (my wife bein' the first) but I've always wanted to buy an Emerson CQC series knife but when they were available in the beginning I never had the money.
Now I still don't have the money but my chances to buy one are even slimmer now that my wife and I both are semi-retired/disabled right now meanin' fixed income, add to that a 19 year old daughter in college for at least the next three years.
Vacations are very limited as we have to keep a close eye on finances so a new knife is like a vacation for the family, (if Daddy's happy everybody's happy) seein' as how my future is better geared toward a new knife vs a vaction I figure you have the power to grant me the opportunity to get a new knife there by makin' life a lot nicer at home all around.
I like heavy use knives and Emerson is one of the best IIRC, I never sell or trade away a gifted/giveaway knife, I use all my knives, so no safe queens here, alright I have one or two, a vintage Colonial Scout knife with Compass and Magnifying Glass on a chain, this knife is just too historical for me, I'll probably donate it to the local BSA Chapter for display with the other Scout knives.
Well congrats to whoever wins and thanks for the neat giveaway.
