Stories of "Winning" the Big Lottery (Hinderer at the Show)

Great story Vdub, glad you scored! I wasn't as lucky but had a great time anyway and that's what it's all about.

Yes sir, thats what it comes down to. I dont think it was possible to have a bad time at blade. Unless you just dont like knives, or if you are flat broke because then its just a gigantic tease.
 
I agree with you wholeheartedly! I tried not to camp out at the booth also but the experiences I enjoyed and kindness displayed by like minded gentlemen far, far out weight any knife! Kinda feel like a 5yr old the day after Christmas!

Seriously, every time Chemdawg stopped by the booth, N2K was gone and had just been there recently and vice versa, it happened a few instances.

I had my Q-Ball anod Spanto with me on Fri to share with a friend but not a paintbrush or Bowie.... darn....wish I'd been there to see that one. :thumbup::D

Wait, you mean my Q-Ball anodized XM?

;)

That knife rocks.
 
I was often in the wrong place by just moments on multiple occasions this Blade. I missed many an opportunity. But I'm not going to complain at all. I'll remedy what I can and the rest is out of my hands.

Chem, stay in some sort of contact and the next event we both attend I'll do better to identify myself.
 
I actually scored on Friday. This would be my 3rd drawing I have been to. I was present last year at blade both Friday and Saturday. I was standing by a family that had good luck in these drawings, in fact the dad won a custom early on in the drawing. I was standing in front and about 20 to 25 in got my name called. I wanted a 3" slicer flipper, and stated that to Rob when I went to choose my knife. We both actually thought there wasn't one left, but in fact there was one. It was the DLC FDE that would have only been my second choice to the customs. Since the customs were long gone, this was the perfect one for me. As I was paying I was shaking at the pure joy of winning. Thanks the RHK family for another awesome lottery. These pics are already posted elsewhere, but here they are again. Quicky hotel room pics.


Congrats. That's one of the nicest looking hinderers I've ever seen.

Will do! Look forward to it. :thumbup:
 
I imagine it is quite a challenge meeting up especially at a show as busy as Blade.

I started a "Who are you" sort of thread but understand that is not something everybody may want to participate in as well as, still hard to look at a Pic and recognize the person in a crowd.
