1st Annual Knife Dogs Awards

[Steven Janik]

And here they are............................
The awards showed up today and this is the first that I yanked out of the box.
Bruce, you better shore up that shelf cuz these are about 7 lbs. each.

They are hefty and good looking. (remind you of anyone?)

The replacement awards are out and some have been delivered. I rec'd a note from Josh about his.
Here's my response:

"Thanks Josh,
What seemed like a great idea and looked good online turned into a disaster when they were damaged.
The company who made them stated "durable resin castings". I guess that's secret code for fragile plaster.

I really wanted them to be the same from year to year kinda like the "Wally" in Drag racing. I'm working on it for next year.

Steve"

Tracy deserves a big thanks for funding the replacements !!!

 

[Denny Eller]

Congratulations to all the winners and a big thanks to Steve who spearheaded the whole process. And thanks to Boss Dog who sired this pack of good-hearted pups.

 

[Bruce Bump]

Mine are perfect but now I'm afraid they will get dropped or something. Thanks Boss for footing the bill for the replacements for the damaged ones. So whats happening next year? Different company? A plaque would be fine with me.

My Doggie

I can't tell ya'll how suprised and proud I was/am to have won a Doggie the very first year ! It is the ultimate compliment when others appreciate your work.

As Steve mentioned I was one of the recipients who recieved a wounded pup which I would've gladly displayed in this "as is" condition.

A little rough around the edges after a scrap or too but surely still willing and able to keep watch over the knifeshop :biggrin:

That being said I want to send a BIG GIANT thank you out to BossDog for funding a replacement and more importantly creating this pound for us all to hang our collars in. Your a class act all the way Boss :35:

Having recieved my new Doggie in perfect condition he now proudly watches over the house standing watch alongside my collection of Fathers Day coffee mugs.

I'm so stoked I just thought I'd take a minute to say Thanks and share my Doggie with everyone.

Take care all
-Josh
