SuperBen Thursday! 05/07/15

Bamboo · May 7, 2015

Time slipped by quickly this week, so were a few days behind in offering up a knife for SuperBen. This week we have a tough 3/16 Buschrafter Jr. sporting black bolsters and tangerine burlap.

2015 0507 01 Bushcrafter Jr. w/ Black bolsters over Tangerine burlap, Tapered Tang, convex on 3/16 spalted A2 steel - $345

For payment we request that you pay directly to the GoFundMe account (after confirmation here) - This simplifies things for us quite a bit!! Please put a note in when you do and we'll ship the knife out as usual.

This one's going home with me! I'll take it.

Hone · May 7, 2015

That sure is a beauty.

RRaconteur · May 7, 2015

Thank you for taking it. When I saw the description, I thought, "Oh, man! I'm going to get in trouble for this one!"

Thanks SA Condor!! That was some fast sharking. Let me know where you want it shipped and we'll get it out on Tuesday.

necrolicious · May 7, 2015

I'm sorry I missed this one! Great snag! I would trade that scandi Bushfinger for this one haha. Congrats

SA Condor · May 7, 2015

Payment has been made! I've been waiting a long time for the right SuperBen Knife to come along. My waiting (and getting out sharked) has paid off and this will be a beautiful reminder to keep this little guy in my prayers! Ken, please keep this knife around. I'd like to get a Bonafide sheath for it first and then they could be shipped together. Thank you Fiddleback Forge for all the sacrifices you guys make and for keeping Ben in our thoughts and prayers.

As far as the fast sharking is concerned . . . here's my story: I have the morning off so I was actually doing some cooking. I'm sure my wife was wondering why I was cooking with one hand and holding my phone in the other . . . refresh, refresh, refresh! It really was bad timing! I was making some eggs on a griddle, so I was cracking them with one hand and quick tossing the shell in the garbage, rinsing my fingers off, grab the spatula and man the eggs. But I got it!

It is a looker for sure!

I'm glad to keep you out of trouble

I've had funds set aside for a SuperBen knife for quite some time.

Thanks! My internet is notoriously bad here, but I just refreshed at just the right time!

Amazing knife for an amazing cause. I can't even begin to imagine any one of my daughters suffering like this.

This is my first bolstered knife. It really adds to the beauty in my opinion.

FF is awesome. By all these SuperBen knives and the many reminders, we get a real good look at the heart of Andy and all the crew at FF. Thank you FF!!

Ummm, NO!! This one is going to have a special place as a user and constant reminder of Ben and his suffering and needs. I'll take that Bushfinger off your hands though if its becoming a burden

Very cool. Glad to see you snag this one.

Comprehensivist · May 7, 2015

Hey Luke,

That was the knife that I was looking forward to seeing on the table at the Blade Show. It is a beauty for sure. I am very happy that it worked out for you to get it and help SuperBen in the process.

Thank you Andy and Ken for your ongoing generosity to Ben and the Ruppe family.

Phillip,

I do not get down over knives. Your comment caused me to look back at another thread and I see that there were twins. Thanks for the clue.

VANCE · May 7, 2015

I was fairly confident that it would not affect your day. I just wanted to let you know it was still possible .
This Ben knife was headed to the BLADE show box but Ken discovered another one just like it....
So we offered it up for Super Ben

Thanks! I'm pretty excited about this one. I don't put a lot of sentimental value on many items, but this one and my first Runt definitely have some sentimental value!

Well I'm glad to see it worked out! This was 'the' knife that was making me wish I could go to Blade too! I went back and found the other one too. I like the spalting on that one even better then this one! If you snag it, then we can represent both coasts! Now granted, I spend most of my years down here now, but I'm still East coast! I hope you can buy the matching BC Jr. This is my first bolstered knife and also my first knife in 3/16". This is going to be one stout little knife! I plan on putting it to use this June when I come back to the US. I'm going camping with my brother and we're going to climb Mt. Washington like in the good ol' days!

Just a curiosity, what is the thickness of the other one?
