Hey all,
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!

=====================
Bidding is open to any member and the structure will be as follows:

- Winning bid surpasses $250:

  • Fletcher Hatchula II (#19): Sandblasted black canvas micarta scales over black g10 with a yellow g10 pinstripe, 3/16” SFT, convex ground 01 Tool Steel. It has been lovingly used but is in phenomenal shape, razor sharp & ready to go! Will ship with both a Fletcher Knives black kydex sheath, a beautiful HJE leather sheath.
  • A “Spa treatment” for 1 x Fiddleback Forge knife (up to a $50 value).

Thanks to Kirkwoods generosity, I received this beauty in a giveaway, but feel compelled to pay It forward to SUPERBEN, with i hope xxwjtxx's and the others permission, if the bidding reaches $750 I will include this 12" FF machete and sheath to the winner.

Awesome & thanks for your generosity!!!
 
Hey all -- quick update; Rick Lowe has offered up a free sheath (any style / any color) for the auction -- we'll be putting it in with the $450 offering!
 
If we hit $1k, I've got a Gen.1 iPad (16gb) that is pristine (used it for a few technical demos and boxed it back up) that I will send to the lucky winner! If anything else, its a nice toy to have and troll BladeForums on the couch with :D
 
I'll bump it up to $600. If you guys haven't read the super Ben links, I recommend a read. Can't imagine going through that as a young family.
 
Sorry for the delay guys -- I got stuck in traffic; Swonut wins the lot at $600; thanks Swonut ! I'll pack everything up tonight; just PM me your shipping info, so I can pass it along to RLO and M4Super90!

Thanks my friend for helping stretch this effort the extra mile! :thumbup:
 
Thanks for your generosity Will, Phillip, & Rick. Congratulations Blaine on picking up some nice knives & leather for a great cause. You guys demonstrate the type of character that makes our little forum community here a wonderful place to hang out.

Phil
