How much are we missing? I can't make sense of that page and table...

We should advertise this thread in the subforums!? I usually only look at the Swiss Army Knights section and I'm sure other do too...

One of the problems may be that the Paypal link on the donation page now leads to the basic Paypal login page, not to a dedicated payment with pre-filled amount, beneficiary etc. so quite a bit of investigation is needed before one can actually effect a payment. This is the status as of today with me. I'm not sure who else is affected and since when this is the case.
Cheers!

If everyone who enjoys and uses the forum everyday would donate a couple dollars a month we would be in fine shape every month. It cost that much or more for a cup of coffee at a coffee shop for crying out loud. We've got it pretty good here, some forums only give privileges like an avatar pic. private messaging etc. unless you become a paying member. As a bonus here you even get a chance to win a cool tool every month for a donation.

Come on peeps give a little for the cause  :pok:

Just discovered the above only applies to my phone, the PC I'm writing from now does not have any problems of this kind. No excuses! I agree with Steve too on this one :2tu: :clap: :cheers:

Ridiculous is normal for this place, but no embarrassment in not making the goal- my pictures really don't do it justice.  Whichever Dutch tool guy made it should be proud to have made something so cool, and we are very proud to make it available to members!  :D

My failure to capture it's awesomeness in pictures and description shouldn't diminish it in any way.   :tu:

I haven't added it up yet, but I'm going to call it a win!  Now I have to find a new home for this awesome knife, and I hope the new owner tells us how cool it is when he or she gets It!  :D
