Because the contest is labeled Festivus, I will post on the 23rd (still the 23rd in my time zone, and I had to look up what Festivus was since I'm more of a traditional guy). I haven't received the contest item yet. Sad, but understandable given the great span of space it has to travel and the mail rush. I know there was a post saying that the winner should carry it on Festivus and didn't want to give the impression I was holding out.
It should be in transit and I will certainly post when it arrives. I actually don't know what it is. bad_juju gave me a list of things to choose from and I couldn't decide between a few items. So, he'll be surprising me as much as all of you. The suspense builds... Best wishes to all!

I knew that today was the last chance for the mailman but I had no doubts. Somehow, I walked out just as the mailman came to the door (mailman senses tingling). Sure enough, there was a box with my name on it!
The unopened box
So, I got to work on it. Black tanto Zing was used to open the tape up.
Zing goes to work
I was greeted with packing peanuts, an invoice, a notepad, and a red box. The note on the gift receipt was one of cheer and well wishes, which I gratefully accept.
The opened box...
The notepad turns out to be made out of rainproof paper! Now I just need to take up some hardcore activities to use this to his full extent.
Waterproof notepad
Now, to the knife. I told bad_juju that I couldn't decide between the Asset and the Chill (it took a lot out of me to narrow it down even that far. He had a very generous list to pick from). I didn't look at the name - I just wanted to open it and find out the old fashioned way.
Unknown knife box
I opened the box and it was...
An Asset! It's a sharp looking piece (in the usual double-meaning the word "sharp" takes on in the knife world). The handle is absolutely the most comfortable shape I've got so far (admittedly, I don't have many, the Blur in particular which I hear to be very ergonomic). I probably wouldn't buy a serrated edge by myself so I relish this opportunity to see a combo edge in action. The Speedsafe is smooth and the sweeping blade begs to slice. Santa_juju chose well and I'm very grateful.
Right out of the box
Rising from the packing peanuts
Zing greeting his new friend
Thanks to bad_juju for making this all happen! Thanks to you all for building this community! May you all be blessed in this Christmas season (regardless of your religious conviction). May all your houses be filled with love, joy, and peace.
