Neil Blackwood Fiend, S30V, asymetrical grind, stonewashed finish over coarse mill finish, .200+thick. 7" OAL, tip to guard is 3.5".

Without exaggeration, one of the sharpest knives I've held.

I have this knife for sale to benefit the Jimmy Fund/Dana Faber Cancer Institute. I'm raising money for The Jimmy Fund through the Pan-Mass Challenge (more here: http://www unix.oit.umass.edu/~srobbins/pmc.html). The PMC is the oldest cycling fundraiser in the country and raises more money than any other athletic fundraising event in the U.S. It is also the most cost efficient, with 99 cents of each dollar raised going directly to the Jimmy Fund. The PMC has contributed more than $145 million to lifesaving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute since 1980.

I will be riding with Team LEGS (Legs Eliminating Great Suffering). Team LEGS was founded by my friend Mike whose son Sam was treated in 2002 for cancer at age 3 at Children's Hospital in Boston. Sam is now doing well.

Team LEGS was assigned a pedal partner last year and was partnered with an unbelievably brave, tough and fun kid with a great family -- Jake Boudreau. Jake's fighting neuroblastoma. Recently it was found that the tumor is coming back and Jake has some more challenges ahead of him. He's in the best of care at Children's working with the research fellow who was sponsored directly by the Friends for Life Neuroblastoma fund.

Payment: You make the donation to the the Jimmy Fund (they take plastic) and I'll ship you the item. I can also take checks made out to the Jimmy Fund. More knives and gadgets to come later. If you're broke (I am) and would like to participate in raising money for PMC please PM me...there are lots of other ways to help!

Thanks for the interest. PM if you have questions. Steve

Free bump, a cool knife for a good cause. :thumbup:

A friend of mine at work just lost a young nephew to cancer so when I saw this thread I felt compelled offer a bit of encouragement.

I got another of this same model Fiend in the mail today from Neil and it is incredibly sharp, very comfy to hold as well. A custom Blackwood with a unique grind, this is a good deal folks.
 
A great gesture and a great cause. :thumbup:
My nephew was diagnosed with testicular cancer...he was 5 years old. Let me tell you, until you see how tough these kids are going through chemo, sitting around in the hospital with them watching their hair fall out and worse when they should be running around outside playing and being kids...it sucks!
My nephew beat it, he's 15 now and going strong. Other kids are not so lucky.
Thumbs up for you guys who are helping out. :thumbup:
