Well that's our 7 mini-show knives for 2012. The special pricing for each knife is listed on the CKCA Forum.
A big thanks to all our knifemakers who participated.
CKCA members, if you have not made your reservation to our Banquet/Mini-Show time is
running out.
Here are our purpose and rules/process for our show:
Our paramount goals for our CKCA mini-show are:
To give our CKCA membership the opportunity to purchase very special knives at attractive prices from some of the finest knifemakers in the world who they normally may not have access to.
To give CKCA member knifemakers a chance to meet and present your knives to some of the top custom knife collectors in the world and perhaps to gain new longtime customers.
To give the CKCA another opportunity to offer benefit to both our collector and knifemaker members and to positively promote the CKCA in the custom knife community.
The Process/Rules:
•
All CKCA members (those present at our show and not) will be eligible to purchase knifemaker's knives.
• All details of sales/transactions will take place between the knifemaker and the buyer with the CKCA providing promotion and the venue for knife sales.
• Knifemakers, of course, retain 100% of proceeds from all sales.
• CKCA members who will not be present at our show will have until
Wednesday June 6th @ 12 noon EST to direct myself (Kevin Jones) in writing via e-mail customknifecollectorsassociation@yahoo.com (copying the particular knifemaker) to deposit a ticket into a particular maker's "draw box". By directing me to place a ticket into a maker's "draw box" the buyer is committing themselves to purchase such knife/knives.
• Since our knifemakers very graciously offer attractive pricing to our members for this annual event, any/all additional services/expenses such as shipping, insurance, custom duties, taxes for non-attending members are in addition to the sales price of the knives.
•
ONLY CKCA members are eligible to participate (purchase knives) at our mini-show.
•
Any CKCA member found to be purchasing mini-show knives for non-members can have their privileges to participate in future CKCA shows revoked. This rule will be strictly enforced. Any non-CKCA member can easily participate in our show by simply joining the CKCA.
•
CKCA members are allowed to deposit a single ticket (1) in each box for knives that they want to acquire for themselves. Please, no help from your friends in depositing tickets on your be haft thus giving advantage over other members.
• CKCA members can place tickets in multiple boxes and if such member wins multiple knives he/she can of course keep all knives or at that time choose not to take a knife and we will go back and re-draw a second winner for the knife they turned down. If by chance there is not a second ticket in the particular box then the knife will be a "no sale".
The above processes/rules are intended to promote fairness for all CKCA members.
A BIG THANKS to Buddy Thomason for the beautiful images
