I would like to announce the Madpoet Benefit Custom Knife Auction. It will be held in the first week of November. Bidding starts Nov. 1. Remember, deadline for sending in donations of knives is Oct. 31.
So far, I have seven knives donated and they can be previewed at:

Just click on the auction link on the front page.
On the auction, there will also be a lot of 7 pocketknives that belonged to Mel and five friction folder kits (heat treated and ground blade from Mel's shop, wood, etc).
Thank you all again for your support of Mel's family. I can tell you firsthand that the money received already from donations and purchases from the sale IS indeed making a difference, and that this auction is necessary for them to tie up a few loose ends.
And especially, I would like to thank the knifemakers who have so generously donated their work.
