We are rolling out auction #13 for Keegan.  Keep on pulling together for this kid and his family and let's do what we can to lighten their load a little. All of you have done an amazing job of helping these folks through a tough time.

If you haven't heard Keegan's story, here is a bit of background from Karl Blanchard

 "Keegan Wilder is not your typical 7th grader.  He's a hardened mountain mule deer hunter.  Though he's a little small in stature,  he has the heart of a lion and is just as fierce!  He had been feeling a faint pain for a few months but nothing that would have caused concern.  Almost felt like a pulled muscle.  He asked to be taken into the urgent care because he was having a hard time breathing without any pain.  He was immediately referred to Seattle Children's where the family was given the devasting news after several blood tests, xray, and ultrasounds that he indeed had cancer.  The mass is quite large behind his rib cage growing towards his lung.  He had surgery within one day where they biopsied the mass to determine the exact kind of cancer (so they know what appropriate treatment to provide for that type of cancer) and also placed a port for his chemotherapy.

He recently had to have his port moved which involved a second surgery.  He is having a difficult time keeping weight on so a feeding tube has been placed to help him get the calories he needs. 

Keegan is the toughest kid you will ever meet.  From the age of 5 he has been chasing his dad and I into some of the toughest mule deer country the west has to offer.  His first deer at age 10 was over 7 miles into the Idaho backcountry.  Even though he is on round 5 of chemo and very weak, he is always smiling. 

Keegan and family still have a tough road ahead of them and can use our support.  Life can be so cruel and no child should ever have to go through what Keegan has.  Let's help make this dark time a little brighter."

Our longtime member Wazukie has donated a not yet created custom knife that he will make specifically for the winner of this auction. Here's a few photos of other knives he has created in the past. Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Bidding will start now and run until Wednesday 1/10/18 at 6pm. Winning bid will be id'd by the forum time stamp.

Happy bidding and good luck!!

@Wazukie

Right wing shooter, I aim for the left!!!

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I just got mine in the mail from the other Wazukie knife auction.  Super impressed with the quality of it.  Definitely has the cool factor.

The first one Butch made for my brother's 60th birthday four years ago (my brother forgot my 60th this year, the bum!). He made a slightly smaller, matching knife for me. It's always at my side. These are not only great tools but also collector pieces. Without a doubt, I can say I'll have this knife until my last day on the sphere.

Just wanted to give an update on this knife.  Ieatelk and I have been collaborating on the design and etching.  The pics don't do justice but I am confident that he will be pleased with the final results.  It takes me some time to accomplish tasks these days, but it is coming along.  The handle material is being done today.

I wish i were able to bid. I bought one from Butch for my brother's 60th (the 1st one pictured), and he's thrilled with it. My matching knife is awesome.
