I am finished with my Lorien PIF (Pay It Forward) knife. For those of you not familiar with this current charity buildoff you can find the original thread *HERE* I chose Lorien’s “A” design.

My Charity: Initially I was going to help a local boy scout in my son’s troop, he belongs to a single mother and has borrowed camping gear from us in the past. Unfortunately he moved out of the neighborhood last month and I can’t track them down.

I spoke to the scoutmaster and he said they have a few scouts that are in need of gear. His suggestion was to donate the funds to the troop. The proceeds would be used to purchase “Loaner Gear” (ie: backpack, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, etc.) that would stay with the troop. The scoutmaster has agreed to provide a “Thank You Letter” as well as photos of the purchased equipment in use. Coincidentally the troop (including my son) is on their weeklong trip at “Aspen Ridge” as I type this.

I am donating my time and materials. Kiah was very gracious enough to donate the materials and time put into the amazing kydex sheath that accompanies this knife.

I can accept PayPal or a Money Order can be made out to myself or the troop scoutmaster. Just post “I Will Pay It Forward” in this thread and it is yours.

… Thanks for your interest.

Ryan, that turned out amazing....Hope mine turns out that good.....would be nice to pay it forward.
 
That is an incredible knife and an even better deal, I wish I had the money. I feel you picked a great charity, when I was in Boy Scouts we spent a lot of time raising money to go camping and help the community.

Nice work as always!

I don't know exactly what it is about that knife; Normally I hate the very idea of synthetic handles/sheathes, but that outfit could make me a convert.

Quiggifur, I love wood and Leather too. This is still available and I think you are right, you ready to convert? :D
 
That knife is beautiful. But I can't afford to pay attention. Anyhow hats off, to a nice knife and a great group to lend some help to.
 
geez, two hundred bucks ain't THAT much more than the cost of materials! What's wrong with you people?:p

Ryan, like I said before, man you did an outstanding job. I'm honoured by your effort, and your chosen cause is close to this Boy Scout's heart:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Payment Received... this one is sold! Thanks Michael Star. I will get it packaged up and in the Mail tomorrow!
