Cross Post: Auction for Super Ben (A friend of the Fletcher & Fiddleback Forge forum)

[xxwjtxx]

Hey all,

***Dylan was kind enough to let me cross post this here; the OP is over in the Fiddleback Forge subforum, but seeing as one of Dylan's knives is featured, I figured that some of the folks here might be interested!***
After another awesome round of fundraising for Super Ben, we’re trying to keep the momentum going! After making a phenomenally generous donation in Mcracker’s Super Ben thread this week, the winning bidder (RedbeAR15 :thumbup amazingly offered to “flip” my donated Fletcher Knives Hatchula II (#19) back into the shark-tank to drive another round of funding for our favorite honorary little forum member!

If you are unfamiliar with Ben’s story, please see here: http://www.gofundme.com/Bens-Fight-against-TSC

With that said, I was in the process of putting a post together to get the Hatchula II re-listed, when our own M4Super90 reached out to me in an effort to further “sweeten the pot”! As it stands now, this next round of fundraising will now include two phenomenal offerings from Fiddleback Family makers; A Fletcher Knives Hatchula II (#19) and a stunning WAS (Allen Surrels) Short-Muk!
