MAKE AN OFFER - HIGHEST OFFER/DONATION GETS THIS KNIFE:
S. R. JOHNSON, 4 1/2" GENERAL PURPOSE, BEAUTIFUL SAMBAR STAG, LONG GUARD, ATS-34 BLADE,
DOUBLE TRADEMARKED, STURDY LEATHER LOVELESS-STYLE SHEATH!

Manti City is planning on building an Aquatics Park for our kids - and us old timers. It's been a long drawn-out process but we're almost there. We hope to start construction next spring, pending the bond election, etc. This knife is open for offers and the payment will be made out directly to Manti City Water Park and is tax deductible (for deductibility, check with your tax accountant).

I hope we can get a goodly amount for it. Manti needs a "swimming pool." It gets pretty hot and dry here in the summer and we need a wholesome place for our children and families to spend some time and get some exercise. Manti is great place to live and a pool will make it even better.


Send any offers to me at srj@mail.manti.com and I'll tally them here.

THIS OFFER ENDS ON SATURDAY, APRIL 16 AT 12 MIDNIGHT, EASTERN DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.

We have had another knife donated to the Pool Fund, which will show up here and on my web site soon. Made by another budding local knifemaker, based on a Texas Knifemakers' Supply blade. Check back now and then. Thanks go out to Steve Olsen, Ephraim, Utah, who has a business here in town!

I used to live in sterling, I agree with the need. Way to go! We still have a family cabin over in Mayfield where we all get together frequently.

It was about 17 - 18 years ago, Lived there, and Spring City. That is when I started making knives actually. Wish I knew you were in the area then, I would have come over bugging you for pointers :-) After leaving the area I had to stop for a few years but now that I am settled in my own house, I have built me a shop and I'm getting going again.
