Firstly, Id like to thanks Tony, who has kindly agreed to allow this raffle to take place on Bushcraftuk.
Sorry. YOU MUST BE 18 AND OVER TO BUY A TICKET FOR THIS KNIFE. It is a good cause but I would still be considered a criminal if this rule was not followed.
In my daughter Naomis word:
Hi all. I have signed up for the London to Paris Bike Ride 2011 and Im looking for your support!
The ride is taking place from the 21st to 24th July and Ill be riding 230 miles in 3 days all in support of The Big Issue Foundation.
The Big Issue Foundation is dedicated to the well being of Big Issue Vendors, working with over 2900 individuals across the UK. Their skilled staff work one to one with vendors, tackling issues ranging from health and accommodation through to money management and aspirations.
The Big Issue Foundation is about taking control, moving forward, gaining independence and rebuilding lives. They exist to enable vendors to continue on their journey away from homelessness.
Did you know that life expectancy on the streets is only 46 years old?
Your kind support will help make the 230 miles that little bit easier, especially when I cycle 90 miles in one day! With your support I can help to make a big change in someone elses life.
Please dig deep and help me to help others help themselves!
All my love and many thanks,
Naomi x
In order to help her raise the money she needs, I am offering one of my knives and sheath as a raffle prize. All the money raised will go to The Big Issue Foundation. It will show up on my daughters Big Issue fund raising page, as a donation from the Bushcraftuk community.
Naomi's fund raising page is here: http://my.artezglobal.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=328562&LangPref=en-CA
The raffle will start today and end on December 31st. I will draw the winning ticket on 1st of January 2011 and announce it on this thread, as well as by PM to the winner. Ill be filming the draw on my camcorder and will post it on this thread, so that everyone can see its all above board.
Ticket price £5 each. If you want to purchase more than one, thats fine of course, but no obligation. If you want to donate more than the price of a ticket, it will be welcome, but please don't feel under any obligation to do so.
1st come, first served on the ticket numbers!
You choose the number you want. To purchase a ticket, please PM me, Ill let you have my Paypal address, or my home address if you prefer to pay by cheque, and Ill alter the list.
Please make the Paypal payments as a Gift. Also Please make sure to indicate your forum name, as well as your actual name on a message on Paypal. It can sometimes prove difficult to find out whos who!
If only a few people participate in the raffle and the money raised is less than what I can reasonably expect the knife to sell for, I reserve the right to cancel the raffle and will then repay the money to the people concerned.
The more tickets are sold, the more money will go the The Big Issue. The shocking thing is that there are so many people on the streets at any given time. Did you know that, according to an article by The Big Issue, 20% to 25% of these people are ex-servicemen who have fallen through all the safety nets?
Good luck to all.
The knife is 220 mm long, with a cutting edge of 95mm. The blade is etched 3mm thick 01 tool steel. The handle has Yew scales with a pewter bolster. The scale are epoxied and pinned to the full tang. The sheath is hand made veg tan leather, with a viking flavour to it, ie riveted, hammered brass plates decoration. It's not entirely finished on the pics as I have just ran out of brass rivets...

So If you want to try and win yourself a very nice, handmade knife, go on and buy a ticket!
