IKC, lets help the disaster relief and bid on a great knife

Bid on the GEC Disaster Relief Auction Knife!!!!

A while back Great Eastern Cutlery donated a couple of knives to be auctioned off to help raise funds for the tornado and flood victims in the southern states. Between field trips, rendezvous', etc, the second knife hasn't been put up for auction yet. After hearing the news story yesterday that FEMA is suspending or limiting funding to Missouri due to the recent hurricane on the East coast, it's definitely time to try to raise some more cash to help out.

It's been a particularly tough year financially for a lot of the country and these natural disasters have made some of the problems even worse. Great Eastern has made similar donations in the past which I think is incredibly generous on their part. And to try to sweeten the deal a bit more, I'm adding a $50 TSA Knives gift certificate to the auction.

Here's what we've got....

#563311 Tidioute Weaver Jack, Factory Test Production Run, serial #02 of 11 knives finished with Lace Wood Handles.

So the winning bidder will receive the knife AND a $50 TSA Knives store gift certificate. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army (winning bidders choice). To place a bid, simply "Leave a Comment" to this post with your bid amount. Bids will be accepted until 6:00PM CST Monday September 5, 2011. Spread the word, tell your friends, bid high and bid often!!!

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on September 6, 2011 at 13:45: Thanks everyone, I didn't expect to win. It's good to win now because I will be spending alot of my time in the woods and may not get to participate as much. It's a great cause with great people. Great Eastern, Miss Jan and Greg with TSA knives should be the ones congradulated here. My best to all my IKC friends.

Comment by Billy Oneale on September 5, 2011 at 21:23: Congratulation, Rob. I think you will enjoy that knife. I would have used the $50.00 gift certificate towards a Whaler.

Comment by Jan Carter on September 5, 2011 at 20:04: Congratulations to Rob Burris who is the winner of the Weaver Jack and a $50 Store gift certificate. Rob had the winning bid of $160. Many thanks to all who participated and thanks again Luke for your donation as well.

In the very near future there'll be another auction (this one for the Wounded Warrior Project) for a Sunfish Black Buffalo Horn PROTOTYPE!!!
