Stolen Knife at Wilderness Gathering
- Thread starter Dave Budd
- Start date
Thank you ladies and gentleman, overnight there has been donations to come to a total of £73.00 towards the cost of this knife. We all know it is not about the money but about the low life scum that just help themselves to your own hard earned stuff but well done for all those that wanted to ease the burden. I'll keep this open for the next 9 days or unless we reach the full value of the knife first and then will send the money over to Dave on your behalf. I am so pleased that you all rose to the request, it shows that people do care and are willing to put themselves out, and if you cannot afford a couple of quid then don't worry about it at all it is a gesture of kindness that is all. well done again guys and if anyone has any concerns about what we are doing then simply do not send anything or call me direct if you wish to discuss 07843064114

Jason thanks for organising this. Dave you are a great craftsman and bloke who gives great in-depth demonstrations into your art.
i've been thinking about joining for a while.
after seeing this thread and the "community" reaction to it, good enough for me.
small donation made.

I ve had stuff stollen at both Bushcraft shows but the wilderness gathering was great for me, nothing went , think it will be one bad egg to spoil it foreveryone else, hope the knife turns up too.
Hi Jason,

Dave has done much in the way of making bits for me and providing the blades that I enjoy so much.

Great idea, Jason. Token donation made for the following reasons:
1) I hate thieves.
2) I love the knife.
3) Hopefully Dave's belief in the human kind will somehow get balanced with this thread.
and most of all....
4) I'd like to think the donation is a small amount of pounds per square inch added to the kick in the newts that the thieveing beggar obviously is in need of!
If I knew #4 is coming up, I'd have donated the full cost...

Same happened to Larch from lakeland bushcraft at his stall last years middlewood meeting. Saddens me.
It also makes everyone who visited the stall feel uneasy as they might think people think they stole it.

I was gutted to see that this had happened - beautiful work Dave, hopefully any funds raised will restore your faith in the Buschcraft community.
Jason as a suggestion might it be worth starting a new thread for the donations so that others that may have already read this thread before you made this generous offer will see it too.
Funds sent.

I would like to think it was not a member of the following of Bushcraft but rather a 'Muggle' to quote a certain Wizzarding Propper Noun.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits.

Dave what goes around comes around so no doubt the rotten little so and so will find drinking coffee at A&E waiting to be sewn back together a perfect opportunity to reflect on past misdeeds.
Its a very distinctive knife so hopefully may its way back to you at some point.
I had a couple of my carvings walk the other day. Its not nice.

Apologies if this has been mentioned already - my email address was taken on the gate - was this the case for everybody? If so, a quick round robin email explaining the situation might tug at someone's conscience?
