Since this is the knife forum, I'll start here:
Handmade by Watson Knives in Austin, TX. Flat ground CTS-B75P steel, Paul Bos heat treat, satin finish and polished convex edge. Handle is sculpted carbon fiber with mosaic pins.
The sheath was done by Jim Ryan- burgundy horsehide with ring lizard and black frog trim. It is of full-welt construction with a floating welt retention tab
The star of the show is the full house custom built by bestselling author & Army SOF veteran, Dalton Fury. He comes from a unit that has shot more .45 ACP through the 1911 pistol than any place in the world, has also trained under master pistol smiths like Jim Garthwaite. The pistol is accompanied by a custom display box and a JR leather holster which matches the knife sheath.
These meticulously handmade pieces are being raffled off at $5 per ticket to support veteran's based non-profit organization, Elder Heart and their Mission 22 project. Mission 22 exists to shed light on the fact that an average of 22 US veterans commit suicide every single day in the US. I stand by these organizations proudly. Being a combat veteran, I understand that this problem is very real as I have lost brothers to suicide. I've also seen others start to go down that path, but recover and that's what Elder Heart is all about- healing and awareness.

I am not a prolific maker and it might take a little while but I will build a knife to donate it to that worthy cause.
