This one also, seems to be repaired, broken or damtage, same as the two previous listed knives for "twisted tip" or "broken can opener". I'd prefer bidding high on a better condition, on a new alox SAK of the limited 50pcs series, or on a good condition vintage SAK.

I prefer to think of it as a charitable donation, and consider it an extreme kindness that such a nice knife is being offered as a gift for the highest, winning donation. The money isn't to buy the knife, it's to donate to a good cause, and you happen to get a knife
Aww, and I was hoping to snag it for a lowball bid
Well worded, SAKnight. Quote from: nuphoria on February 14, 2013, 01:50:55 PMAww, and I was hoping to snag it for a lowball bid I'll bump the price a bit then, can I?
Hello everyone, i just learned that my grandfather in California (my mom's side) has become sick to the point of being moved to a convalescent home until he passes, which will most likely happen soon, as he cannot get the care he needs at his hospital. My mom and stepdad are flying out to help my nana (my grandmother) and see my grandfather before he passes. I would very badly like to join them, so I'm willing to sell all of my multis that aren't sentimental. I am putting a list here to see what interest is generated. I don't want to sell half of my well liked tools then not have enough, so if i get interest on 15 of the 20 our so tools i list, I'll sell them. If not, i won't. So please let me know if you'd be willing to buy something, and if there is, I'll sell it all. Thank you for looking, now here's the stuff.

Hello SAKnight I kind of know how you feel, my wife's mother is in an extended care home and no longer recognizes my wife. You have to look at it this way. It is not the beginning or the end that counts, but what you have done in the middle. These kind folks in this forum are some of the best supporters from around the world you will ever find. That is getting rare these days, so it is always nice to know you are not doing it alone. If you get a chance somewhere down the road, perhaps you could share one of your stories about him. I would love to read that one. Your friend Rick
Condcup, i pm'd you. Gary
I am going to send this reply to condcup. Over the last year of bringing in some military Alox Swiss Army knives, I always end up with a few (Desk Toppers) as I call them. On Ebay I know they would go for higher prices, but I like the forum members here, they are a better class of people than the others we meet on EBay. The next two knives coming up for auction are in perfect shape, in fact the fourth knife has never been opened. I have no clue of how I am going to explain that in a write up. (Brand new knife in the factory box, SEALED ??) So I will say it again, thanks for the auction spots on EDC and a thank you for your support of Tim's Charity And now for the NEW hint(Image removed from quote.)
