Good Morning ODT'ers.

BangBang and I have conspired to continue to help out Scott's (shootin4fun) efforts to fund a new kidney for his daughter, Faith.

Details can be found here:

and here:

BangBang graciously let one of his NIB Safety Orange ESEE Izula knives go to auction on the ODT Forum, and ODT members came through! Congratulations to @Shaw, who had the winning bid, and will receive a very nice knife.

Those that don't know about the ESEE Izula knives, The locals in the Amazon call the meanest, most aggressive ant in the jungle “Isula” (spelled with an “s”). The folks at Randall's Adventure& Training know it as the Bullet Ant. The Bullet Ant is known to be independent, tough, light on its feet, and a real aggressive survivor. The IZULA knife is built the same way. After numerous survival trips and expeditions to the Amazon jungles of Peru, Jeff Randall and Mike Perrin designed the Izula to be the perfect survival kit or concealed carry knife. As with all ESEE Knives, the all IZULAS are backed by the famous ESEE “no questions asked” lifetime warranty. If you break it, just send the broken knife back to ESEE for a replacement.

SO HERE IS WHAT BANGBANG AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO:

We would like to auction five additional ESEE Izula knives, with the same enthusiasm as the first safety orange ESEE Izula had last week. These knives will be purchased by through Knifeworks, and can be engraved with a very brief, but meaningful message. ALL FUNDS WILL GO TO FAITH'S FAMILY! YOU WILL PAYPAL shootin4fun shootin4fun DIRECT. The purchase of teh knives is being made by a private donor.

Before we order, BangBang and I want to a quick three day poll of the ODT family, and ask for a couple details - essentially what you would be willing to bid on. Color and Inscription. The Knives will be the ESEE Izula, possibly with handles, and the engraving will be on the blades. They have assorted colors, safety orange, dark earth, venom green, pink, black, and gray to name a few. Here is the link to the knives.

We would also like your thoughts on what to engrave: ODT4Faith, Faith's Hope&Love, ODT Gives Back, ODT, are a few examples, or any other ideas you might have. The engraving will be done by Knifeworks, and space is limited. If recommended, I can leave blank.

I'll watch for posts this week, and order on Friday, based on your suggestions. First auction will start next week and run through five weeks, with a special knife to be auctioned off on week 6!

Izulas are such great knives. I EDC mine neck carry. I've used mine as a screwdriver and even a prybar. It's taken eveything I've done to it and just keeps going. I don't think you can break one of these knives. Even if you did manage to break it, ESEE has a lifetime no-questions-asked warranty. You just send them your broken knife and they send you a brand new one.

I know that black is more "tacticool", but I really like the venom green Izula myself.

As far as the engraving goes, anything about Faith, or even just "ODT" would be awesome.

Am I allowed to bid since I'll be the one running the auctions? LOL!
