I don't know how you guys feel about doing this, but I want to offer to help with the raffle this time.
I will offer up the first item:
A copy of the now out of print Knife and Pistol Fighting by Hatsumi Sensei, signed personally to the winner by Sensei.
 
DIJ, I can't help with donations management but I could donate an old kukri I bought from JP. It's scabbard is the old type to be stuck in the sash, and the handle is aluminum with engraving and curved. No karda or chakma, OAL is 15", blade is 1/4" thick with the "shallowest" of fullers (if they were ground you would need a giant wheel. Estimated to be 50 some odd years oldSomeone else will have to work out all the particulars, though, as I'm almost too busy to breath these last few weeks :grumpy:
 
Damn, Danny. And, way to go, stevo.

I'll throw in an unused John Greco Mini-Whisper, the ultimate boot knife. This one is different than the usual- blond micarta and plain grey finish. Wickedly sharp.

Of course I will help any way that I can, by handling donations and donating khuks. We should run this all past Rusty and the super moderators first I think.

Ferg, I agree. Sorry if I jumped the gun. Maybe we should make it a slush fund to help Ram, Yangdu, whomever HI. I will wait for Rusty's decision :)
 
Cool idea and neat donations. Wehre's an organizer when we need one? I'm sure one will be along.

Awesome donations, folks. Mebbe they should be split amongst raffles, or something, to maximize the $$$ and spread the prize love?

I'm gonna hit the armory/study, see if there's something I can throw in...
 
Yes Sir, thats Hatsumi Sensei.
I am one of about thirty "permanent" students he teaches in Japan and one of thousands of students worldwide.

Dr. - He is actually a Bone-setter, he fixes broken bones by realligning the broken pieces. Im not sure it's the same as an MD type doctor, but the title is used over here.
 
This raffle is going to be very interesting indeed! :eek: Nice donations for sure. Are we allowed to link the raffle information to other BladeForuims.com fora, since this is a non profit endeavor? :confused:
 
I'd kick it past Cougar first. He'll line us out on what is and isn't allowed.

Howard, Munk, and me are taking care of this. Stay tuned.
 
Bastard. (jk) The only book I had signed by him was chewed by my dog when she was about 9 mos. Yeah, I was pissed... :(
