I have a couple knives at home I never carry and don't really use. They are both in great shape, I just have others I enjoy a lot more, so here's another giveaway. The prizes are a Buck NXT and an Applegate Fairbairn boot knife. (One word of warning I used Naval Jelly to clean the Fairbairn once, so the etching has worn off. Otherwise it's still sharp, just a good carry/user knife and not a collectible.)

I know some of you here are pretty well read characters, so let's have some fun. Try to guess my favorite literary character. List the character, and book they hail from. If no one gets guesses correctly I'll pick my favorite among those listed. Time begins now (10:00p.m est... 1/30/04) and ends in 24 hrs. Winner should email me with their shipping particulars.

Good luck

Kokkor Hekkus, who designed and built incredibly imaginative murder devices for various tyrants (including a metal ogre that screamed horribly as it split bodies)?

From Jack Vance's "The Killing Machine"?

I'm pretty sure I'm right. :)

lagarto means lizard en espanol, doesn't really help me.

I'll go with Cyrano De Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, both character and title.

Harry Potter from the Harry Potter series

Frodo from LOTR series

Somebody beat you to Nemo, but no Jekyll and Hyde? Hyde was my favorite character from LOEG.
 
Don Quixote? Hamlet? King Lear? Macbeth? Othello? Roland (Song of Roland)? Hrothgar (Grendel)? Arthur or Lancelot (Once and future King)?
 
Edmond Dantes, Count of Monte Cristo and Athos, Aramis, and Porthos in The Three Musketeers. Both works by Alexander Dumas.
