Thanks Guys,
At the present time I'm leaning towards a Raffel. I'm thinking 100 tickets at $20.00 each. That would make a $2000.00 donation to the WWII veterans memorial in DC. And also give those that buy tickets a fair shot at it. Does that sound resonable to you guys?

That's awesome Andy!
I'll be needing a few tickets when they go on sale. __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions."

Can't wait to see it after scrimshaw. Especially can't wait 'til raffle tickets are available. Absolutely beautiful AND what a great cause. My son will be home from the gulf this december after 6 long years and this thread has re-ignited my feelings of patriotism and longing for my son to be home. God bless both of you.

Thank-you sir. My son did 13 months in Iraq in 03=04. My thoughts are with you and yours. Its time people remember our soldiers are still in harms way even if CNN no longer covers it 24/7. Thank-your son for me.

It has been way too long but the knife is finished. I am going to let Jim Coper post the pictures of the completed knife. His work with a camera made us al look good.

I do not know if you still need help on carving the handles or not? However, Tommy2feathers is very good
