DONE! Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Seiferd and to the winners!

Since this is really for Guy and Ellie, I would go ahead and reveal any other prizes as to get maybe more entry's = more $$ for Guy & Ellie. Only one prize per winner. Chiral, I believe you to be a fair and giving man, this is your show and I'm sure what ever you decide will be fine with everybody.
 
I agree with see4 and others. I don't think anyone donating would feel taken advantage of. If you reveal the prizes and they are tantalizing then people could enhance their chances if desired, if not they're under no obligation. The idea is to raise funds, so if revealing some more prizes does that, mission accomplished. And again, you're the boss so do what YOU feel is best.
 
Honestly, I don't even care if I win anything. In my 40+ years of living I have never won anything at all so I have never been hopeful. Just do as you please Chiral.
 
what a great fund raising idea! I've been absent from the forums for a while, got in today to see this. Congratulations to the newly weds, I don't have a Survive! knife but have always heard good things about them... money sent and fingers crossed!
 
Glad we surpassed the goals. Good luck everyone. It'd be cool for someone who doesn't have one to snag this rare beauty.
 
End of my work-day update: $1,120 USD

Well, one of the bonus prizes isn't in my possession yet, so I think I better hold off on revealing it until then, but that should be Friday or Saturday...

And just because they come from me, I'll include a UKE 2.0 (+ leg-strap) kit as another prize. So there will be three if not four prizes:

1) GSO-4.1 Test knife + Sagewood Sheath (see OP)
2) GSO-4 "Bushcrafter" design-drawing from Guy (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...fit-Mrs-Ellie-Seiferd?p=15889392#post15889392)
3) UKE 2.0 + leg-strap (see my sig-line)
4) ... awesome prize to be announced ...
 
Very cool, and very generous. I'm so glad we've exceeded the goal and I hope it keeps climbing right up to the end. :)

Hey,, how do you know who donated? I didn't put my forum name into the comments of PayPal. Is that a problem?

Nope, no problem, your transaction has your name/contact-info for me to inform you of the prize. For the winners who didn't put in a forum name or also send me a separate message concerning their transaction (some of y'all did), I will simply reply to that transaction e-mail and wait for the response. If I DO have a forum name or separate message to go along with a transaction, I can also use those means of contact. A way will be found!
 
Chiral, you should feel so proud of surpassing the goal and raising all this money for the newly weds. Exciting prizes!

I figured most of the usual suspects would chip in, but it's really neat to see some some new/less frequent posters getting in on the action :thumbup:

Chiral do your extentions work on the new sheaths?

Pshaw! (I've been using this term a lot recently) Of course! :D My extensions work on just about ANY plastic or kydex or holstex or ___ex sheath with holes spaced to accept a large tek-lok. EVERY model of Survive! knife, old and new; probably every sheath made by Azwelke (I originally designed the extension off of Kiah's and Azwelke's sheaths), I'd bet they fit all of Hale Storm's sheaths, I've used them on Mashed Cat sheaths, I've yet to try them on Buy Brown but have confidence there as well, I have customers using them on sheaths for Buck knives (e.g. Selkirk) and Boker knives and Cold Steel and Kabar, and of course they work on ESEE sheaths and ... I've been trying to get a Tops BOB to try that but haven't yet...

Anyway, yes, yes they do. Even though the only 2016 S!K sheath I currently have is the 5.1, I have confidence that the design will fit the rest as well ;)
 
This is my opinion, but I am cool with whatever you decide:

One prize per person and disclose all the prizes now to encourage more participation.

Good on you, Chiral!
 
this is great - I'm glad the goal was reached/surpassed! Hopefully they can use it to buy something nice for themselves to remember us by!
