St.Judes Knife (Auction ends 6/14/19 @10:00 PM)

Thadbow · May 25, 2019, 09:58:22 PM

My buddy Bobby Wetten who is a Journeyman Smith in the American Bladesmith Society stopped by to show me a knife he had forged.
As I was checking it out, he told me he wanted to donate to the St. Judes auction this year!!
This knife will come in a soft case along with a custom hand tooled sheath made by master leather crafter Paul Widdle.(Bobbys Father in-law)
I believe the blade is forged from 1084 high carbon steel and the handle material is African blackwood... but I will confirm.
Shipping anywhere in the USA is on me.
Bid high for the kids, End date to be determined here soon...

I know I haven't posted all the details about this knife but I did speak with Bobby and he is going to write up a certificate of authenticity that will give all the details.
I will try to get that posted this weekend sometime.
Thanks for the great bids!!

Very nice. I'm working on making some funds for this one. I don't know what the maker would normally ask but in my neck of the woods that's worth much more than its current bid, even without considering the value of it being a St Jude's benefit.

Funny two knifemakers bidding on a knife. All I can say is bring it, for the kids!

Terry Green · May 31, 2019, 04:40:09 PM

YES!!!...That knife is worth that...great design!!!

Gdpolk · May 31, 2019, 04:59:20 PM

That's because it's a BA knife and the kids are worth it...and to the folks who aren't a knifemaker take note of what's going on. This one is a prize for sure and certain.

Terry Green · May 31, 2019, 05:49:21 PM

Yes Sir?

Thadbow · June 02, 2019, 09:03:59 PM

Bobby stopped today and gave me the certificate of authenticity.
Bid high for the kids... this knife is amazing!!!

Bigriver · June 02, 2019, 09:09:10 PM

Ok ok 400.00

Thadbow · June 03, 2019, 09:05:47 PM

Great work BigRiver!

Sam McMichael · June 03, 2019, 09:08:12 PM

What a great looking knife!

Terry Green · June 05, 2019, 09:12:56 PM

Glad these knife bids are picking up....the decal sales are dismal.

I remember one year a member here made some Tradgang St Judes shirts....he shipped a ton of shirts and hundreds were raised.

Thadbow · June 06, 2019, 05:50:29 AM

The end date for this amazing knife will be 6/14/19, at 10:00 PM.
Bid er up for the kids!!
