July 4th Wounded Warrior Project Auction Starts TODAY!!!
(copied from http://blog.tsaknives.com/2012/06/22/july-4th-wounded-warrior-proje...)
Got to thinking about the 4th of July holiday coming up in just a week and a half and thought it's time to get the Wounded Warrior Project Auction going. I've been trying to time the auctions around dates or holidays that have significance to our military and the country as a whole. July 4th seems pretty relevant! Hopefully, the money we can raise will help make the holiday a little more pleasant for one of our returning wounded.
I'm going to offer up something different this time. I have a 462211 Whaler, Elephant Ivory, EDC knife. After I received the knife, I found a fracture on the back panel, sent it back to GEC and they did a great job repairing and stabilizing the fracture. The surface is perfectly smooth. The tang is stamped with a small "S" common to all of the EDC knives.
Normally, I wouldn't offer up an EDC knife in an auction, but I thought this might be a way for someone to own a darned rare knife at a reasonable price. According to GEC's records, only 5 were made and this EDC knife is one of the five. In addition, none of the 5 knives were serialized while now, all are not only serialized but also bear a 'grade' stamp next to the serial number. (To date, these are the largest slabs of Ivory GEC has used on a knife.)

and leave a message with your bid amount. This auction starts immediately and will end at noon CST, Wednesday 6/27/2012. 100% of the proceeds from this auction goes to one of my favorite charities, the Wounded Warrior Project.
I encourage everyone to check this organization out as they do some fantastic work for our returning wounded. If you can't/don't want to place a bid, how about considering making a donation to the WWP on your own!!
