Are you implying that Kristi will reveal the model prior to some time next year?

Do you have insider info?

Thanks for the contest! I like the change of pace.

For those of you who are not mathematically inclined, an easy way to make the GCD of two numbers =1 is to just make the larger number a prime number, or have two prime numbers.

(It's a conspiracy, man, he's trying to trick her into telling us what the unknown item is. But don't tell anyone, I think it might work :D )

I wish :rolleyes:

Part of the thrill of this contest for me is that I have no idea how much I'll be shelling out for this knife. ****, it could be a Byrd, it could be a diamond-studded ZDP/CF Forrester, or anything in between. Only Kristi knows, but I've decided to make it the prize regardless.
