It is time for our annual auction for Tank. This gets him some extra funds for the holiday season, but mostly, we do it to remind him we haven't forgotten about him. If you don't know about his situation, take a look at this thread: http://allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_f ... hilit=tank
If you don't know who he is, go to his member profile and click on "search user's posts." He's a neat guy, with some neat knives; we appreciate his posts, and miss him when he can't.
Auction starts now, runs til 8 PM Central on Thursday 11 December 2014. All proceeds go to Tank, shipping (in the US) is already covered. (If you're outside the US, drop me a note and we'll figure something out.) When the auction is complete, I'll notify the winner. As usual, Philco is going to handle getting the funds to Tank, so he will contact the winner to arrange payment. As soon as Phil tells me he has the funds, I'll send the knife out USPS Priority.
Our next item up for bid is a Camco barlow. Covers are sawcut composition of some kind (delrin I think but I'm not sure). The iron bolsters are stamped Barlow. Both blades show wear, but have good action and half-stops (note the ding in the clip blade, near the tip). Main blade is stamped CAMCO in an arch over USA; on the back is the pattern number 551.

I've been here and I've been there, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. Thank you, Sir.

Re: Four for Tank: Camco barlow
We all 1st came here for the knives Jim, but unexpectedly we find kindred spirits and once in a while a true friend. Tank has been one of those "rare" people to me. Many times I have tried to put myself in his shoes and I don't know how he does it, he has more courage than I.
So these auctions, for the wounded warrior, Johnnie and Tank are not about the knives for me.
Sometimes it helps to know that somebody else gives a damn!

Dave, my hats off to you sir. You have my respect.
I don't know Tank well, but what interaction I've had with him, he's been top notch. That's a fine thing you did!
