2010 CKCA Collaborative Bowie to Benefit Lung Cancer Research
The CKCA is very proud to announce our 2010 Collaborative Knife Project to benefit lung cancer research.
This aprox. 13" OAL engraved semi-integral Fighter and custom sheath has been graciously created by CKCA members Edmund Davidson, Barry Lee Hands, Steve Johnson, Wolfgang Loerchner and Paul Long.
Tasks have been completed as follows:
Edmund Davidson - machining/profiling of the knife from CPM-154 stainless.
Steve Johnson - grinding/polishing and application of the maker's mark
Barry Lee Hands - engraving/inlay
Wolfgang Loerchner - creating the handle of premium mammoth ivory.
Paul Long - the custom sheath of tooled leather and gator hide inlay.
The recipient of our contribution this year will be the Lungevity Foundation and 100% of funds raised will go to them.
The Lungevity Foundation is a Four Star rated (highest rating) charitable organization dedicated to raising funds for lung cancer research.
