Okay, I believe that I have as goog a reason as anyone for winning the great knives. First of all, I am a junior mechanical engineering major with a keen interest in materials science and mechanics of materials. I have been interested in talonite for some time now and have been waiting for its use to broaden. That however is not the real reason I feel the knives would be best given to me.
I, along with many others, spend my weekends on a bus route which brings kids from the city to church. Beyond church however, these kids spend a lot of time at our houses, or other activiteis elsewhere. These few hours a month is all the time we have to try to reverse the liberal brainwashing they get from TV, school, friends, and the MA government (yikes!). We have a succesful archery club and have plans to start a responsible firearm handling course to the top level kids with help from a state leutenant from the MA police.
In showing these top quality knives (along with others) and instructing on their proper uses, we would be able to greatly help a few kids. I would rather a 15-year-old save his money for a few months to invest in one of those expensive EDI knives he used once (and actually know how to oil, sharpen and care for it) than to blow that money on a few rap CD's or a third pair of basketball shoes which he doesn't need.
Hmmm... just a few thoughts. And the other guy was right: This does say a lot about your company. Thanks.
