Hey guys, it is getting to be that time of year! Thought I would start the thread prior to the holidays so that everyone would get a chance to participate.
I would like you guys to use this thread to discuss what charity you would like to donate to this year and which Pelican who is no longer with us that you guys would like to memorialize.
I will be making a small run of knives and the best one of the run will be chosen to be given away in the giveaway.
This will probably be the last set of knives that I ever make. Some of you that I have contacted outside of Pelican are aware that after last year's run of knives that I lost feeling in three of my fingers in my left hand. The feeling has not returned and I don't know if I have carpal tunnel or a pinched nerve. None the less, I will turn out this run of knives for this years giveaway. I am sort of taking a risk making these because I can't feel what is going on with my left hand on the grinder...
Next year, I will be willing to pitch in (as I hope some of you will) to purchase a good quality knife for the giveaway.
I want you guys to know that I wish I could make each of you a knife. My goal was to make a few extra each year till I got around to everyone lol... Sadly, this will probably not happen...
The following Pelicans will be receiving knives this year (Thanks for being responsible hunters and/or keeping me entertained on the BBS this year).

These knives will look just like the giveaway knife, but I will not be making sheaths for your knives, only for the giveaway knife. Sorry for this, it is just too labor intensive.
I will ask that you PM me your addresses and I will hope to get the knives out before Christmas. Depending on life, I may not get them out till after New Years, will have to see how quick the process goes...
I am asking someone to please step up this year and collect the funds, hold the drawing and disperse the funds to the chosen charity... It is just too much on me to do everything...
I will report progress as I get work done...
Once again, I would like you guys to use this thread to discuss what charity you would like to donate to this year and which Pelican who is no longer with us that you guys would like to memorialize.
Here is a picture of this year's knife design... it's a BIG one!!
