Jan, I think that's just great!<br />
Very, very nice.<br />

I hope you can take a picture to share when you present the book to Chris.<br />
I know I'd sure like to be there.

Here it is. The voting has been tabulated, counted and totaled. I still have to go through the certification process to make it officially official (my wife's gonia double check me). But I am absolutely 100% confident that I can announce that CHRISTINE has been overwhelmingly chosen as the name recognized and used by Great Eastern Cutlery collectors and users (literally) around the world as official name of the GEC Beaver…

<br />
I think the fact that Steve submitted the name with the intent of hoping to give recognition to a dedicated GEC employee is commendable. For all of you that have had the pleasure of chatting with Christine (aka Chris), know what a great person she is. Chris is the 'voice' that most often represents Great Eastern Cutlery and she does a great job of it. Steve, thanks.<br />
<br />
As promised, there's a reward in this for Steve and I guess it's time to let him know what he's won. Steve, you're getting an autographed copy of David Anthony's new book that will be released at the Great Eastern Cutlery Rendezous coming up in a few short weeks. I'm also going to try to have Christine sign the book for you as well. It'll be after the Rendezvous that I get the books and it'll probably be the end of July before I can get it off to you but have patience.<br />
<br />
So here's how it all broke down........<br />
<br />
Up till July 2nd there was a heated race between Betty Beaver and Christine. Max had a great effort going forward to promote Betty but I don't think he had the heart to strong arm the vote when he saw Christine as a more then viable contender. In fact, I believe we saw Max hand over an endorsement to Steve's Christine. Most honorable of him. As a result, I think Max deserves and will receive a TSA Knives cap. (We'll see if he has enough courage to wear that on his next night out on the town!!)<br />
<br />
On Saturday the 3rd a clear trend broke toward Christine and by mid afternoon, there was no looking back. Christine gnawed her way into a solid lead and finished with 39% of the vote over Betty Beaver's 28% with over 100 votes cast. I'd say she buried Betty under a pile of chips but it was a tight race to the end. In fact, just a few days ago Betty still carried the lead.<br />
<br />
To sum it all up, this has been a blast. When I dreamed this up I hoped there might be a handful of you willing to indulge my attempt at a little fun. I figured there might be 30 or 40 votes cast and that was fine becuase it was just meant to be fun. But to end up with the good hearted exchanges we've had and the voter turnout we saw.... I'm really gratified. The generous comments that have been made about the contest confirm what I set out to achieve, we all had a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
Now, .....Tuesday morning I intend to:<br />
Send an official letter to Christine announcing our endorsement of the name<br />
Let it be known to the powers that be within Great Eastern Cutlery that going forward, there's a HUGE contigency of GEC fans that will refer to the Beaver Tail Beaver as Christine<br />
and finally, start thinking about what we might do next!!!<br />
Thanks all!!! You're the best.<br />
<br />

I really appreciate your idea of printing up all the fun we've had both here and at TSA Knives and sharing it all with Chris. I think she'll enjoy it all as much as we have. Chris has been awfully nice to me these past four years which I sincerely appreciate. She is a very Special part of GEC!<br />
<br />
I'd like to thank You, my good buddy Greg, my friend Max, and everyone who has taken part in this"race", either by posting on the sites or by reading our good natured "campaigning". It's been…
