It is time for our annual auction for Tank. Mostly, this is to remind him we haven't forgotten about him, but the extra funds for the holiday season won't hurt! If you don't know who he is, take a few moments to check out his member profile; he's a neat guy with some neat knives. We appreciate his posts, and miss him when he can't post. If you don't know about his situation, take a look at this thread: http://allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_f ... hilit=tank
Auction starts now, runs til 9 PM Central on Saturday 5 December 2015. 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 and I have the buyer's mailing address, I'll send the knife out USPS Priority.
Our final item is not a knife at all; rather, it is "future knife handles" in the form of a chunk of semi-mineralized 240+ year old bone from an extinct sea animal!
I acquired this piece here on AAPK in '09 I think, from one of our members. It is a piece of rib bone from a Steller's sea cow, an animal believed to have gone extinct about 1768. It measures approximately 12" long. The cut end shows what it looks like when worked, but note that the other end shows a bit more of the porous bone structure. This is usually finished or stabilized with super glue or epoxy.
As always, click on the little pics to see larger pictures.
