Ray Mears/Allan Wood Antler handled Instructors Knife Auction

[Woody]

Hi all,

Just a short heads up to all you knife collectors out there!

In conjunction with Jonny Crockett of Survival School and Roger Harrington of Wilderness Gathering/Bison Bushcraft we would like to announce the auction of the following item at Jonny's up and coming event in aid of survival international.org.

To be auctioned on EBay will be one Ray Mears antler handled instructor knife. This knife needs no introduction and is one of only seven ever made by world renowned knife smith Alan Wood. The knife was presented to Woody of Bushcraft Expeditions when working as an instructor and expedition co-ordinator for Ray. The knife is to be auctioned on EBay to raise as much as possible for Survival International to whom half the proceeds will be going and the remainder going to independent charitable causes nominated by Woody.

The date of the auction will be announced just prior to the main auction and the lucky winner will also get a free ticket donated by Roger Harrington to the Wilderness Gathering where the knife will be presented.

Regards

Woody

I couldn't enter the first link either. Decided to have a look at the second (lower) link and found that I could enter the first link from there.

Cheers Leon!

Apologies for the duplicate post but we are trying to get as much exposure for jonnys's event to raise as much as possible for a very worthy cause.....I will try and get something up on British Blades as soon as possible (overseas at the mo and having difficulty getting on there) but if any one fancies putting something up on our behalf it would be greatly appreciated.

many thanks all,

Woody

ps..and feel free to post any where else you may think it will get read...max exposure-max return for survival International

Hi all,

Just a short note regarding the Knife auction. We are pleased to say that the interest has been huge and therefore are hoping to raise a healthy amount for Survival International. One thing that has been asked is whether it is possible to bid on the knife if you are not subscribed to/happy with using EBay, the answer in short is “yes” private bids can be made directly to us at Bushcraft Expeditions and once the funds have been secured we will raise the bidding with EBay on your behalf.

If any one has any other questions regarding the Auction please contact either Johnny Crockett for general questions or Bushcraft Expedition for questions about the knife.

The date for the EBay auction will be announced shortly

Regards

Woody

Back on the bay starting at 1500 quid!

 

[Jodie]

Good gracious!
I'd be all for chipping something towards buying it back and giving it to its original owner!

I like this knife clip from the West Wing (1m 35s)

More than a bit out of order when you consider the original auction was for charity and now they are trying to make a profit on it.

Yes, I agree. She says she bought it for a friend, but it's a long story.


Wait up then love, I'll get the kettle on and you can tell me the sordid details!

 

[In Wood]

Might be out of order but I just asked the seller via evil bay if she was selling it for a charity or her own gain?
