As Uncle posted in this thread Sgt. Karka's son Ram is studying in Latvia to become a doctor. He plans to return to Nepal to help his people. He has very little money for living expenses, so I have decided to hold a raffle to help. The item is a 25" Sirupati by Sanu. It is 2 lbs. 4 oz and comes with EITHER the original old-style tooled scabbard, or a Sarki Shop quick-draw scabbard. Unused except for initial testing, the wood (Satisaal?) handles have been sanded and refinished with more than 15 coats of tru-oil. I propose to sell chances for $15 each until we reach 20 sold, or 5 days, whichever comes first. Checks or paypal to be sent directly to Uncle Bill, and the item will be shipped by me directly to the winner. Post here and/or send me an Email so I can keep up with the entries. Winner will be drawn by Bill or Yangdu.
I think that you will find this a desirable piece. Have fun! Pictures follow.

BTW, the brown double pouch sheath goes with the Sarki Shop sheath to hold the karda and chakma separatly. It has a belt loop.
 
This is very generous of you. I'm in for 2 tickets.

The picture quality is very acceptable. Nice job refinishing the handles, too.
 
All I can say is, it's a darn shame you didn't go that extra mile and put 16 coats of true oil on....

Just Kidding!

I'm in. Check sent tomorow.

A check made out to Bill Martino will not incur taxes.

Way to go guys! Six already!

I'll send Bill a check tomorrow.


I'll make you a deal: If I win, you can raffle the knife a second time. OK?

(edited to add: Raffle it a second time for RAM.)
 
I'm in for one.
Check via snail-mail.

BTW; any idea of living expenses in that region.
How far does $10 or $100 go for a student in his position.

Sure Brendan, If you'll take a chance on winning, I'll take a chance on the extra shipping costs to get it to you.:)

Uncle just emailed me some names of people who have entered. 13 chances sold so far. Just 7 more, and we'll draw for the winner.

Thanks Guys!

Steve
 
We have checks in the mail we'll have to wait for.

Ram is going to be a very surprised and very happy young man.
