New Wounded Warrior Knife Auction Starts Today!!!

The history of this particular knife deserves some explanation.

This spring, Luca, who is an active member of the IKC board, put the time and effort into putting together the orders necessary for a special run of #362211STL Sunfish finished with Black Buffalo Horn. It turned out to be an outstanding looking Sunfish. As this was 'his project' I asked him and got the okay for a Prototype knife of the series which would be auctioned for the Wounded Warrior Project.

My intent was to purchase the knife and auction it off but that's not the way it worked out. When Great Eastern found out what I intended on doing, once again they stepped up and donated the knife. I've lost track of how many knives GEC has donated to be auctioned off to raise funds for different charitable organizations but this is another classic example of their generosity.

So here's what is being offered for bid:

Prototype #362211STL Sunfish with Black Buffalo Horn
Prototype Blade Etch & COA
Deep Stamped Un-X-LD logo in the blade

Bids will be accepted starting immediately until 7PM CST Wednesday ,September 28.

Congratulations and many thanks to Alan for the winning bid of $260 for the Prototype Black Buffalo Horn Sunfish. This should be a great addition to what should be a fantastic collection. How about some pix someday?????

I'd also like to say thanks again to GEC for donating the knife, Luca for allowing us to use the Prototype, all of the other bidders and a special thanks to the individuals making donations to the Wounded Warrior Project as an aside to the auction.

Comment by Jan Carter on September 27, 2011 at 17:41: Just a quick reminder that the bidding for the Wounded Warrior Project auction is only open for a couple more days. Right now the bidding stands at $160 for a Prototype Sunfish Black Buffalo Horn knife from Great Eastern Cutlery. Not only is it one heck of a neat knife, 100% of the proceeds from the auction go to a super cause supporting our injured troops.

I know the economy sucks and more than a few of us are scratching to make ends meet, but whenever I think that I have it tough, I think of the people this project supports. I wanted to make a special mention of Mr Robert Burris, unable to participate in this auction he volunteered to make a simple donation to the cause. Thank you Robert, from the bottom of my heart for helping
