Money is pretty tight here, but I had a little stash that I have been saving up so I'm good, but I'm not sure I'll be able to contribute the extra $10, time will tell though.
Call me cheap....but I prefer seeing RC donate to military quality blades or even individuals like S. American guides/troops they deal with on a regular basis.
It is a great gesture as part of this thread, but we are talking about a collector-attributed knife. As great as a ratpack is - and I want one - a person in true need of a knife because their life depends on it and profession demands it is a more worthy cause than a person who wants it because of the extensive hype we are generating.
I'll pledge $10 - but I'd rather see it go a truly charitable need.
Sorry - I'm such a schmuck...
Like I said in the other thread, assuming money isn't super tight I'd be willing to pitch in. As for the person getting the donation, I'd be willing to help out either option, both are RAT brethren and deserving souls in my opinion (provided we make sure the general user really does have a financial difficulty).
