Charity Sheath Raffle.

[Dougster]

As we approach the anniversary of the premature death of my grandfather from cancer, it has occured to me that I/we can do a little something extra.

In the Red charity theme, I'll do two of my sheaths, however anyone wants them. Raffle tickets will be £5 each (I believe cheque would be best) which I will list in thread for transparency. I will get my daughter (3 so totally unbiased) to draw the lots for the two winners. I will then pay the money into my account and forward one single cheque to Cancer Research, publishing the receipt here. I haven't approached them yet, but I'm sure a cheque out of the blue won't go amiss.

I think this will please everyone, those who don't have a lot of spare cash will get a chance, and those with a couple of quid can buy more than one ticket.

Here is what the sheaths are like with feedback - sorry if you've recently bought one, S O RRY I only just thought of this again after forgetting it for 6 months.

I'll do the sheath for whatever 'knife' you have (no parangs or other larger items) but I may have to borrow an F1 as I've never seen one in the flesh.

Is this a runner? If so, I'll get it up and running with a draw in say three weeks or so?

Any ideas to improve this gratefully accepted.

I'll gladly take part if you run this. Though if I win I'll donate to a worthy cause - perhaps unused if his parents give him permission to have a knife.

 

[bushwacker bob]

Go for it Rich.I'll have a ticket.

 

[JonnyP]

I will have one please...Can you take paypal..? I don't mind paying the fee....

If people are prepared to pay the fee, I can do it that way. Thanks all so far.

 

[Nightwalker]

I think thats a great idea, I'll see how I am for money at the end of the month.

 

[richardnhunt]

I hope this is a runner, and we make a decent sum.

 

[Dougster]

Would this be of more interest to people if I took away a sheath and put a knife in the other?

Instead of two sheaths, a small(ish) handmade knife with a sheath?

I am in on this one myself! Willing to buy a nice knife in the near future and a nice sheath would came handy then! And my grandfather also died from cancer, so did the grandfather of one of my best friends, and, and, and to many people I know died from it or suffered from it
If I could say to "some one" maybe "god": Remove all the cancer from the world and I will keep your fires in the hell burning, I would do it! (I have to bring my firesteel with me

@mace242
Very kind of you!:You_Rock_

Dougster - I'm sure a knife and sheath (a nice small useful one) would be interesting. I'm up for a couple of tickets if you go that route - paypla would be a big help too - happy to cover the fee!

[Aliwren]

Great idea! I will buy a ticket which ever option you decide

 

[unused[nl]]

We need some more people for this one! Come on guys! it's also just 5£!

 

[Green Arrow]

Good idea Dougster, let me know payment details and I'll take ticket!

 

[moab]

Dougster,
Great idea,count me in for a couple of tickets. Let me know what payment method you need.

 

[Dougster]

Right, I'll start on a blade. I'll use a lapplander 90 as it's a useful little thing - great 'backup'. I'll put some nice scales on, with a sheath and firesteel loop?

 

[unused[nl]]

Great it is going to happen!
Maybe you can the winner let choose if he wants a loop in the sheath.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I'd be up for a couple of tickets :You_Rock_
