OOPS! That just kind of got away from me early. Rlo and I are putting another one of our collaboration knives up for raffle at the Hammer-in in a couple of weeks.
RLo's got the pics and the details so stay tuned. All proceeds will go toward purchase of additional equipment to be used at Trackrock.

Well, Carl got this started and here's the rest of the story. As he said, we want to raffle this knife collaboration to add to the equipment available at Track Rock for all to use. The blade was forged, heat treated and finished by Rick Lowe. Carl got the heavy work with guard, handle, super finish detail on the spine and the sheath. The concept is a unique period scalper using some materials and shapes not normally seen. As always, this wouldn't have to be a "wall hanger", it's made to use. The plan is to hold the raffle on Sat., Sept. 24th. just after lunch at Track Rock. Ticket cost will be $5.00/per ticket (and you can buy as many tickets as you want), ticket sales will end at noon Sat. Winner DOES NOT have to be present to win, but if you can't be there, be sure to include your name and complete address when you purchase tickets. We're still hammering out the details on ticket purchases by mail, so check back here for that info. Here's some photos to get y'all salivating and reaching in the pocket for money.

Thanks RLo.
JC - Karen said if I'd just hit it about 1/4" further over, I'd have taken out all three brain cells!
