As you may know from the pink shotguns of Remington, many corporations are providing pink colored products to promote breast health issues. In like manner, Harley-Davidson sold pink leather jackets.
I believe in this work, and I'd like to offer a knife whose funding will go to Oregon Health and Science University Cancer Center in Portland Oregon. Just by my company's purchase of this knife, 10 percent of that price has already gone to their Breast Health Education Program.
These health issues run in my wife's family.
This knife is a three-inch, plain edge Benchmade Griptillian, the model with the Spydie style hole in the handle and the axis-lock.
Now, I can imagine some of you have concerns. You're going to be asked to bid on a knife at amounts far above the price of a Griptillian. A pink handled knife, at that.
Here are the reasons why.
You guys also collect and use knives, and not just any knives. You like nice stuff and you ask probing, intelligent questions.
The blade on this knife is made from the alloy 154-CM. That is the same alloy that Emerson uses on his "hard use" knives, and also what Josh Graham provides on his Razels. If you are a collector, you'll remember that custom maker Bob Loveless also liked this alloy.
Additionally, the knife is to be taped, frozen and then sharpened and buffed with the same tools used by the polishers of samurai swords--all of the way back over 800 years.
I am going to make sure that this folder is the sharpest tool any of you will ever obtain in the entire USA. And it will have my company's "life sharp" guarantee. You dull it, we sharpen it for free.
Now, 100% of the money received (including what I paid for it) will be sent to the Oregon center. No fees, no hold-backs, no charges for postage.
I am now exchanging PMs with hso on how to properly handle this auction, how to prove to you that the center gets the money (I want a third party on this) and I need help in how hso wants the computer listings to be reflected.
When the knife is sharpened, polished and ready to go, I will post a picture and the procedure will begin.
And you will be offered the best, sharpest knife I know how to complete.
