Ckca update

Here's the mark Larry had made for the CKCA Prostate Benefit Fighter (shown above).
Incorporating all four Maker's marks into one worked out very nice.

Well, the handle and cap are fitted and roughed in, and on their
way to Jerry for finishing and marking.
The work by Don and John is really first rate.....This is going
to be a very nice piece, and I hope it raises a nice piece of
change for prostate cancer research.

No doubt, it will have better pics taken later.

The fighter has turned out very nice. It's on the way to Jerry Fisk for final fit-up and etching of the maker's mark, then to Paul Long for a custom sheath and to Chuck Ward for photos.

We will introduce and start selling tickets the "CKCA Prostate Benefit Fighter" at our banquet/meeting in Atlanta on Thursday night May 28th.. Tickets will continue to be available throughout the Blade Show and via Paypal from our webstore.
We will announce the drawing date at our banquet/meeting.

You do have to be a member however to purchase knives during our mini show. Refer to the opening post to see which CKCA member makers will be offering knives at our show.

Banquet information and tickets. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

thanks Kevin:thumbup:
 
This will be one important list for every knifemaker and collector
wherever they are.

Thanks Kevin!

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)
 
I know this sounds crazy, but don't you think you should list the Blade Show (in May)?
 
as per Kevin to me -- Blade is June 4-6 2010 with June 3 being the CKCA mini knife show and night out with CKCA members
 
Not sure when it is yet, Kevin, but I did not see the Fox River Knife Rendezvous as sponsored by "Habber" - Rob Lindquist or the ABS Mid-America event in Troy, Ohio.

The Blade Show is on the list. Early June this year as usual. Last year it was early (late-May) for some reason.

Karl sorry, I had the ABS Troy event listed incorrected as Mid-Alantic :o rather than Mid-America (Aug 27-29). I have corrected it.

Paul K. was getting me the date for Rob's Fox River event. Do you have this year's date?
