I'm pleased to announce the CKCA's annual cancer research benefit knife made the cover of the Blade Show Issue of Blade Magazine (Aug 2010 issue).
There's an article as well.
A big thanks to each of our team members.
Basically, the tasks have been/will be completed as follows:
Edmund Davidson - machining/profiling of knife
Steve Johnson - grinding/polishing/maker's mark
Barry Lee Hands - engraving
Wolfgang Loerchner - handle
Paul Long - the sheath
Chuck Ward - photography/promotional material creation
Blade Magazine will produce an article on our benefit knife which will appear in their 2010 Blade Show Issue.
As many of you know, each year the contribution from the CKCA's benefit knife goes to a different Cancer Research Foundation. This year's recipient is the Lungevity Foundation. http://events.lungevity.org/site/PageServer
The Lungevity Foundation is a Four Star rated (highest rating) charitable organization dedicated to raising funds for lung cancer research.
Here's our process/rules for awarding this beautiful knife:
• We will offer 200 tickets @ $100.00 per ticket.
• CKCA members get a 24 hour advance window ahead of the general public to purchase tickets. Said CKCA members can purchase tickets on-line via CKCA website on Monday May 31 @ 6:00pm EST – Tuesday June 1 6:00pm EST. CKCA members can also purchase tickets via cash or check on Thursday June 3 from 6:00PM-10:00pm at the CKCA Banquet in Atlanta.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday morning June 4 @ 11:00am at the CKCA Booth located in the lobby of the Blade Show in Atlanta and on-line via the CKCA website*. http://www.customknifecollectorsassociation.com/Benefit_knife.html
*note: though unlikely, it's possible due to CKCA member advance purchases that tickets could sell-out prior to being available to the general public on June 4.
• A limit of 10 tickets can be purchased per person.
• Our Drawing will take place at the AG Russell Knife Event 2010 at the CKCA Booth on Saturday July 31 in Rogers Arkansas. Exact time to be announced.
AG Russell / AG Russell knives has agreed to manage the raffle drawing process by verifying the ticket accounting and actually drawing the winning ticket at his show.
