Charity Knife raffle

[Dougster]

I know, I know, it's taken me ages. I hope this has been worth the wait.

The story so far - Cancer Research. (See the Charity sheath raffle thread for any other details)

£5 per ticket. (If using paypal it's £5.40 for one, 10.60 for two etc - basically 5.20 per ticket + 20p).

I think this is one Taid (welsh for Grandad) would have liked. It's Yew Burr with brass bolsters on a stainless lapplander 90. It will come with a snug sheath - I'll make it when I know if the winner is left or right handed.

It's very slim, because I thought most of you would have a main knife and this is a discreet back-up. The sheath will be small to reflect this.

When you paypal me could you PLEASE put Knife Raffle in the subject and your user name in the comments box. Mark it 'goods' so your address will come through. I don't have the time to chase cock ups so will just donate any money where the user can't be bothered make things clear.

Right ladies and gents, who'll start? I'll do the draw on Tuesday 31st July.

Cheque for two sent today - excellent cause and thanks for the time and effort.

 

[Dougster]

Crikey, only 18 tickets. It does come with a sheath.

Plenty of time yet Rich - I almost hope no-one else bids as I love that wee knife - its a cracker!

However its a good cause so I hope someone else that Cancer Research is worth the price of a pack of cigarettes! Trust me - a quick trip in an MRI scanner convinces you that it is.

We have a friend going through chemo at the moment - a few years ago she would have died and her new baby would have been motherless. Great cause and a great effort - well done

I know I'm usually impatient, I was just comparing the number of tickets to the number of views to the thread.

Oh and thanks for the kind words, it was a little hard to part with this one. I don't have any more wood with this figuring. It's a one off for sure.

The knife looks fantastic. I know for a fact that the leatherwork will be great and there is no doubt that the cause is one that will benefit everyone at some point in their lives.

So come on guys/girls get your wallets out, its a win win situation.
