Default Handmade knife auction for Tim

First off, I want to thank Steve Davis (Blademaker) for donating one of his handmade knives. Thank you Steve!! The generosity of this group is truly amazing!!

Steve has used his unique talents to create a one of a kind, hand made knife for auction. This knife would normally sell for over $600.

I will have pictures up this evening, with a complete description. I rushed out the door this morning without grabbing the knife.

I do know the following details:

- Hand rubbed finnish on an ATS-34 stainless steel blade
- Titanium, hand filed bolsters and liners
- Whale bone handles

Definitely a one of......don't have anymore whale bone.

Thank you, Bart, for taking care of this for me....
We're taking care of the situation I mentioned the other night, I'll call when I can, but things are looking much better.

Since xXBUDXx had the idea, with Blademaker, I think it's fair to let him make the rules.
I obviously don't know what I'm doing, beyond supplying a knife to auction.

Bart - when you have some time, some pics of the knife that Steve made would help.

Payment will be made to Tim's paypal account since the family has access. Please make all bids in this thread so that we can keep track of each bid. Once payment has been confirmed, we will contact the wining bidders to arrange shipment.

Bidding will end on Friday 3/18 and close at 8PM Central time.

As stated by Rob, let's bid in $20 increments and please specify which knife you are bidding on. Please tell all your friends, family and coworkers as we are trying to help Tim's family!! Heck, cross post to other forums if you so desire.

Currently the high bidders are:

Infidel - markids77 @ $100
Blademaker Custom - Black94lt1@ $200


Thank you for your bids!!!
