I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Hall during last year’s photo shoot and again at the 2013 calendar launch party. She is a very personable young lady and quite keen on her work in support of Help for Heroes. Although you wouldn’t know it unless you met her, her personality is her greatest feature. I hate to play favorites, but of all of the Hot Shots models I have met, Kelly Hall is my favorite.

Below you can see the engraving on the blade. It’s one hell of a knife dedicated to a guy who’s EDC was Emerson. In fact, Chris and Ernie were in the early stages of a signature knife when he was tragically killed.

There are several other custom models up for auction but this one in particular caught my eye.

20130531-215547.jpg

The handle on the Patriot was crafted from a piece of oak wood collected from George Washington’s farm. The hunk of stump is dated 240 years old and was alive during the period that Washington was not only alive, but also fought for this great nation and served as its first President. Talk about owning a piece of history! The winner of this knife will have something to talk about and spur research for years to come.

In order to participate in the Virtual Knife Show and Auction you must be a member of the Emerson Collectors Association. Look for details at emersonknives.com.
