Striderco,
Yes, we could arrange a contest with a 'Give-away' prize, if you are interested in donating
a SOG product to the SOG's DOGs as a prize. Such a generous act would be greatly appreciated I'm sure, but I cannot ask you to do that, but if you want to do so, it will be appreciated & noted. SOG's DOGs contests, however, MAY NOT involve any acts which would otherwise void the warranty of any SOG knives or products used in said contest, due to the fact that if something SHOULD go wrong & someone break an item, it would be sad if the act voided that person's warranty thusly leaving them with a broken knife or tool & nothing to show for it.
But, yes, if you are interested in donating an item, it will be put up as a contest prize, into
which ALL SOG's DOG's members with the exception of myself, may enter at their own choice. As the head of SOG's DOG's I cannot enter contests, it would not be fair to the other members & if I won it could be viewed as favoritism & thus I cannot be allowed to compete. Official judges for SOG's DOG's contests have already been hand-picked, these members know whom they are--there is a total of three judges, one, of course, being myself. Also, Striderco, as the donator of the prize, you will too be exempt from the competition. However, as you seem to want to provide a prize, you may set-up the contest & devise & design it all yourself--just don't make it complicated plz, LOL!
However, as a SOG's DOG, you must follow the rules--i.e. the contest may not involve any actions which would void the competitor's warranties (no one would want to participate then

LOL!)
Again, neither myself nor the other two judges may compete--there MUST be three judges--a third to act as tie-breaker. Judges, including myself, MAY however submit entries for fun
but not for competition (just for bragging rights & boasting!). Striderco, if you wish to donate a prize, please understand that it will be appreciated, but no one will pressure you to do so, if you do not wish to do so, it is fine--we will understand & no one will think any less of you for it. Participants of SOG's DOG's contests must provide either photographs or video-footage of their performance in the contest. Striderco, if you need assistance in developing a contest please feel free to message me, my email can be found in my profile.
Again, if you do infact decide to provide a prize, it will be both greatly appreciated & noted.
I'm pleased you like your tag number & the SOG's DOGs! Welcome to our group, Striderco!
Also, please let me know ahead of time what the item you have chosen, provided you do,
I would prefer it be kept secret until the contest has been completed & won, to make it interesting.
Also, SOG's DOG's contests, by rule, must last a minimum of two weeks, to allow any members whom wish to do
so, time to properly complete whatever tasks you set before them Striderco, & remember tasks cannot void knife
or tool warranties (for competitor's own good

) Again, welcome to the SOG's DOG's!!
