Here is an email I just received:
Dear Ernie,
My name is David Bolton. I am a part time teacher and freelance writer, living in Spain.
I do part time writing and translation for MercoPalapbra Editors. They are a Spanish publishing group; they own an airsoft, paintball, security and now a knife magazine. I write mostly about U.S. knife companies, both custom and production; I also cover most tactical knives. The magazine is also being distributed in South America as well.
Please see link: http://www.mercopalabra.com/
On the right side of the web-page you will see the words "Prensa periódica," and five covers of the different magazine they publish. click on the bottom cover for "Arma Blanca." This is the new magazine that the group is putting out; the cover shown is the first issue.
As a newly published magazine, the editors wish for some great articles and reviews this first year. Enrie Swanson Knives more then fits this bill. So, I would love to do an article and review of any of your knives.
I also write an occasional review for "Soldiers raids, magazine," Spain's version of Guns and Ammo meet S.O.F. the magazine itself, does not have a web-site.
Here is the link for the store that owns the magazine, I write for. http://www.soldiers.es/
As for the particulars, we would need a sample in a month or so, if that fits your production schedule. As for returning the knife and sheath, this depends on the knife maker, the magazine editor and myself.
1. If your policy is to have the sample returned, we will return the sample.
2. If you charge for the sample, as Cold Steel does, depending the price, the magazine or myself will pay.
3. If the sample is FREE and the editor likes it, he will either ask for the knife directly from me, which I normally give. He has a 10 x 20 office wall full of his favourite knives. If I like the knife then it, goes into my collection.
All FREE samples whether kept by myself or the magazine, are NEVER resold. A copy or two of the magazine will be sent to you, depending your request, free of charge.
I hope this helps clarify and questions you might have.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best Regards,
David Bolton.
