Summer is here! And what better way to celebrate than to participate in Ronin Katana's Summer Contest series? Every two weeks for the rest of summer we will be giving away a silk sword bag to one lucky winner. This weeks contest runs from Monday, July 25 to Saturday, July 30. This week's contest is brought to you by the Ronin Katana Daisho sale - get $100 off the purchase of a Daisho from now until August 8. roninkatana.com/swords-and-katana-on-sale/To enter the contest, please answer the contest question for the week: What sword-wielding character from fiction (television, movies, or books) would be the most interesting candidate in the 2016 United States presidential election? What would their platform be based on? What sorts of campaign promises would they give? Who would their running mate be? (e.g. Conan the Barbarian, party based on seeing your enemies driven before you and hearing the lamentations of their women, promises to reform education and health care. Joe Biden as running mate, obviously) Winner to be determined by random number generator, but the more interesting your answer is the more "draws" you'll get when the RNG chooses a winner! Unfortunately, we are only able to ship to US addresses for the summer contest - we apologize to our international fans. |

Arya Stark - Keeper of the List, Blood of the Wolf, Faceless Woman, the Needle (all titles im sure she will obtain by the end of the song of ice and fire)
Her platform is to purge all those facilitating betrayal and dishonesty through the realm via ninja skills
Arya promises to bring Kings Landing back to its former glory by silently and facelessly dispatching all those who ruined her family and to reinforce her family, the Starks back to their rightful place as King in the North (and preferably to have everyone stand up and shout it loudly with their swords waving in the air, which admittedly is pretty dangerous) and to stop the evil undead zombie hordes trying to eat all your brains
Running Mate is none other then the famouse Hot Pie, baker of the greatest kidney pies in the lands and a guy who never gives up on the gravy
"You cannot give up on the gravy. No gravy, no pie - Simple as that"

Daniel Dacombe, intrepid daisho wielder and representative of the RK Party for President!! He is obviously the shoo-in candidate for 2016 and is most capable of slicing and dicing the opposition party into Julienne Fries. Daniel promises a "sword for every home and a sword in every hand"! He being a stalwart upholder of equal rights demands at least a rapier for every woman!
Chris Scoggin, Daniel's sharp running mate, has promised to make a Ronin Katana available to one and all, even if he has to hand deliver them himself! Chris does advise though: 'Unfortunately, we are only able to walk to US addresses for the summer contest - we apologize to our international fans.' But, he promises to give ONE HUNDRED dollars off the cost of a daisho thus giving you a sword in each hand!
Together they will make America safer as home burglaries will plummet to all time lows. Together they will make America more interesting because of the 30+ different flavors of katanas sweeping across our fair land! They, TOGETHER, with YOU, will make positive improvements that will affect us all. Vote a straight RK Party ticket next November!
Please send your campaign contributions to Bookie.

And the winner is... Bookie! Believe it or not the RNG found in your favour, though the entry was also quite funny (almost bribery? Maybe?)
Please send me your details and your prize will be on its way!

Thanks, Demonskull. Personally, I thought Solomon Kane was a tough one to beat. Glad you mentioned him.

The sword bag arrived in this morning's mail. Hoo-baby! Is it a looker! It's basically black with silverish-gold designs and golden tassels. It is quite handsome and so a most profound THANK YOU goes to Ronin Katana for their patent generosity. And thank you, Daniel, for hosting the contest. T'wer fun.
