Quick Update – 01.24.2012 – Contest is OVER! Congrats to all the winners! Please see below for the results.
That’s right folks, it’s contest time over here at BladeReviews.com!
I released a video earlier for my YouTube channel. If you do the whole YouTube thing and aren’t following my YouTube channel then I would casually suggest subscribing. In addition to all the video reviews I shoot for the website, I do other videos as well (knife comparisons, contest entries, shoutouts, unboxings, and yes, even the occasional contest video). It’s a fun way to interact with people and I feel like the videos have really added something to my reviews.
Anyhow, here is the official contest video:
So as the video states (with official rules on the video page in the description box, or watch it in 720P so you can read the text) you can enter by recording a video response or leaving a comment on the page of the video.
But wait, there’s more!
Of course I couldn’t leave all my awesome regular readers out of the mix. After all, the site came way before the YouTube Channel. So if you leave a comment in the comments section below (any comment will do), I’ll enter you to win a Cold Steel Hold Out II. This is the very same knife I used in my review a while back. It’s been gently carried for purposes of the review, but I think you will be very happy with it. Entrants are subject to the same general rules of the main contest (international entries are welcome, under 18 entries are welcome but you need to provide parental consent if you win).
And feel free to enter all 3 ways if you like, just include a valid email if you are going to enter through the comments section (I will never use your email address for any commercial purposes at all – I’ll only contact you if you win). Get your entries in by January 22, 2012 by 12AM EST.
Finally…
Thanks so much for making this website a success. Without readers like yourself this would all be pointless. I’ve got a lot of great stuff planned for 2012 and I hope everyone enjoys following the website as much as I enjoy putting everything together. Here’s to you!

Update – The Winners!
As promised I did a random drawing on 01/25/2012 and both selected and announced the winners. I recorded the drawing and uploaded it to YouTube.
Thanks so much to everyone who entered. I really appreciated all the support. This project has been a lot of fun for me and I’m so happy to hear people have been enjoying the reviews. There will definitely be many more contests down the road so don’t feel bad if you didn’t win anything this time around! Thanks again.

Well, I could always use another knife to review. Can’t say I’m not interested in Cold Steel’s lock system.

Dan:
I have really enjoyed watching and reading your knife reviews. I’m new to collecting but have using knives everyday for most of my life (58). I always check out your review before buying any knife. Your reviews make knife buying easier.
Please enter me in the contest.
Thanks,
Mark
