So, even though we can't vote for ourselves, can we stump for ourselves?
If so, would you please vote for me?
Why?
...because I asked you politely.

And now the politics start, lol! Get the PM campaigns going and work for your votes! If I win I promise a great sword review, some "excellent" cutting videos and since I only want the 2nd prize anyway, need the Type X to fill my sub $300 Oakeshott typology. Oh and I forgot the most important part, if you vote for me all your dreams will come true!

I can very, VERY credibly promise to be your best friend if you vote for me. Thanks, again, for the contest, and best of luck to everyone. And a sincere thanks to those who actually have or do vote for me. I'm afraid that's all I'm prepared to actually give to my anonymous but much appreciated benefactors.

I was hoping someone would get the Napoleon reference. And now we have our dance off!

I am just a newb and I have just started learning about swords.. and my only interest in swords are katanas. I don't have much to say to impress anyone.. heck I don't even have a collection. but If you vote for me you can be sure that the sword I will win is going to a good home where it will be well appreciated and cared for. I will treat it as if it were a national treasure! It won't matter to me whether it's the first prize or second.. so long as it's a real functional katana. Please help a newb out and vote for me. Thank you in advance!

Vote for me and I'll bless your entire collection. If it were a Papal blessing, I might just vote for you! Seriously, best wishes to everyone who entered the contest. I've read most but not all of the posts. So, I'll probably save my vote for later in the holiday weekend after I've read and thought about it.

Many good entries. All deserve to win.
I shared a very personal sword related story for one main reason. To inspire those experiencing hardship. If a 12 year old can battle and beat the bullies (persons and situations) in life, so can you.
Thanks for your consideration of my entry.

There are many inspiring tales here that pale mine in comparison, and that I stand envious of. Everyone taking part here is worthy of a win but alas, such is not the nature of competition.
The only reason I can give is that I possess no swords at all, even though I frequent this forum and shall keep doing so, even if only for the love of swords and ESPECIALLY knives. So, it might be that not only will a sword from here give me a start, but also head towards to the dream of having a high quality katana of mine own (not necessarily a Shinken). Plus, it will also allow me to test my country's system, so I can know if I can even get a sword in here.
But hey, this is a good-hearted beat 'em all!
May the best be the master of a new sword!!!

Honoring Chris' request, I'm not voting for myself. There are several members whose experiences mirror my own in one way or another and several that have traveled a different path. I have been fortunate enough not to have had to travel some of those paths. I voted for Blade Runner not just because of the path he traveled but also that he chose to expose that part of himself here.
Good Luck to everyone who entered and an extra ounce of good luck for those who had a tougher path to get where they are now.
