Thanks to a very generous donation to Yangdu she's decided to have another Raffle for this very special one of a kind Khukri.
Not sure if I'm supposed to name the contributor but he'll hopefully out himself if he so chooses.
This was a very specific special order for James Mattis. Called a Snow Leopard Knife, this was way back and I did not have the honor of knowing or conversing with James. Before my time.
Long story probably not short enough, he ordered this knife via Uncle Bill with specific instructions.
Sadly he passed before he was able to see the finished knife and so Uncle sold the knife and gave the money along with money from some other knives to Mr. Mattis's widow. Uncle was a pretty fine fellow just like Auntie.
Here's the thread showing what I just said.

So like those before we'll raffle to get funds to help support the kami's during this pandemic which is hitting them just like us.
Auntie has decided to sell 30 chances at 25 dollars a shot. We considered 50 chances at 15 a shot but I just fear it would take way to long to sell 50.
Just make a post here stating how many you wish to purchase, I will keep a tally. Send a paypal payment to Auntie Yangdu for 25$ each. She will also keep a tally and note the payment.
She will post pictures of the knife as soon as I hit the post button.
Make no mention of lottery or such as apparently Paypal doesn't approve of such????
I'm hoping to get this raffle over quickly so dig deep. There will never be another knife like this one. Custom all the way, quick draw special sheath. Truly one of a kind.
I gotta dig deep myself as I just bought this yesterday, my son got one so figured it was only fair that I have one too, seems right yes?
Note the micro bowie on the bet, never leave home without it. Hope I don't dislocate my shoulder when I light this thing off. 45/70 kicks a bit.
