Wow, what a nice surprise, thank you very much! Honestly I never win anything, I lost count of all the entries to different contests and gaws that I have been into, and to have won this is an awesome thing to start the year with. Thank you Chance for giving us all the opportunity to win something; the gesture is what really matters to me (of course the swag is very welcome) but this is just an example of the great people who come to this forum and participate, and give to others in a selfless way, whether is help with knives or other, this is for sure a great community of people, and I appreciate everyone of you guys.
This is the kind of thing that makes Emerson owners proud of what the company and the blades stand for, looking for the interest of others and not our own first. I love Emerson knives and all the users; thanks also to Ernie Emerson for being a great example to other people and for standing up for our American values, hard work, integrity, honesty, etc.
May God richly bless you all, and have a great year guys!
Alex.
I forgot to mention, I replied to your email Chance, thanks again.
