Auction time!

My knife box is full, got to make some room anyway. All proceeds go to help Hanna, and are sent to John. When I get confirmation I'll send the knife(s) on to you, shipping is free in the USA. Bidding will end this Friday at noon EST. You know the drill people, bid up!

Forgot to post this thread about Hanna, the grandaughter of one of bladeforums own knife makers, JK Knives, and her continued bravery, just for anyone who doesn't know: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1013897-Hanna-Update

1. LRK plus

It's got warts, but a very fine burled Walnut handle. I tried to use screws for this handle and it didn't work out, there are gaps around the pins and I have sanded them to the point i doubt they could be used as screws anymore (even if it they weren't glued in. The forge finish got some scratches during the process and was removed from the tang.

Now for the good news. It's sharp, the handle have been "fixed" some in that while the tapered holes are slightly larger then the screws I have smoothed them round so you can't feel them in use. The world is some of the pretest I've ever seen and I've taken it to 800 grit making it very comfortable to handle even in use.

Knife will come with a sheath made by Rick Garcia with a belt clip, which I like to think if neither good nor bad, which marks how far I've come :)

Bidding on this starts as $45

2. A Silver Alox Victorian electricians

brand new, never used, I believe I may even still have the box

bidding starts at $20

Also a like to the other auction going on: Auction for Evan

I may find more, I'm actually trying to brace myself for a necessary/maybe I only need users sale but there are some old friends you just don't want to sell for money alone, so I want them to do some good as well. I'm gratefully to all of you who help me out by bidding, and help these kids and their family's.

Bids are started low so everyone may have a chance, I know I rarely have enough money to do much but always like to run up a bid if nothing else (sorry those who bought them :))

that was quick, while the handle may have flaws on the LRK I can vouch for the quality of RG leathers sheaths, worth the money by itself, thanks both of you

WA Martin, I know that feeling, the little bald eon the electrician does come in handy though :)

everything's packed up, 1066vik, I sent you a message, I'm good with passing the bk16 straight onto you if you're game. (a side note, is your screen name anything to do with the battle of hastings? always wondered)
