Joel Chamblin a knifemaker and CKCA member from Concord GA is the Winner of the 2012 CKCA Cancer Benefit Knife.

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this project to raise money for the fight against cancer and a HUGE thanks to Larry Fuegen and Tim Hancock for creating this beautiful Bowie and Sheath for us.

Also, a big thanks to Buddy Thomason for supplying the images and promotional material.

We will let you know what our total contribution will be to the "V" Foundation in support of Pancreatic Cancer Research after our final tally.

I'm just overwhelmed that I won this great knife, I can't thank those involved in making this happen, enough. I know Tim and Larry both as friends and I also had the opportunity to go with Tim on a pack trip into the Superstition mountains, so this knife will definitely be very special to me. I've always admired both their knives but to own one that they both worked on is really special. I know many people put alot of tme and effort into this project and it was for a great cause, my Dad died of lung cancer, so I thank you again and I hope that we can continue to support this cause. I proud to belong to this great organization.

Our 2012 contribution to the "V" Foundation supporting Pancreatic Cancer Research came to $6,598.30.
This brings the total contribution for our four Annual CKCA Cancer Research Benefit Projects to $34,053.30.

A huge thanks to all who supported these projects.

Next year's project will be a Bowie and Folder Set!
 
Impressive numbers Kevin. Especially considering the CKCA is only a few years old.

GREAT effort by all involved.

Thanks,
Peter
