100% of the proceeds from the winning bidder will be donated to the GENESIS PROJECT.

ABOUT THE GENESIS PROJECT:
The Genesis Project exists to help girls and women out of prostitution and sex trafficking.   It was started about 15 years ago by a King County Sheriff's Deputy who wanted to help rather than just arrest girls.

I've been involved with this organization since near it's inception, and can attest to the need and value of their work.   Bid with confidence knowing that you are making a difference.......  OH YEAH, AND THAT YOU'LL GET  REALLY SWEET CUSTOM KNIFE FROM ALDEN!!!!!

Alden has a really nice selection of Bowie, Paring, skinners, chef's knives, etc. right now.
Just think how happy your significant other and you would be with a new knife for the kitchen.  :-)   

This auction ends August 3, at 5:00 PM.
Alden will mail the knife after the payment to Genesis Project is verified.
*Knives are available until sold.    Each knife is a unique creation.

I'm assuming if we get a knife worth more than $225, we could also make up the difference with the Cole?  Does that sound reasonable and acceptable? 

Basically....winning bid gets a knife worth $300 - $225 = $75 additional payed to cole. 

Does that make sense?

Hey Johnny!   

Alden Cole had suggested any knife up to $245 (not $225).

Knowing Alden, I'm confident that he'd be happy to donate a more expensive knife with the differential (over $245) being paid to him.

Thanks for asking!

This was how I thinking it would work.

In the original post, I copy/pasted from a previous auction.
Unfortunately, the hyperlinks didn't transfer as hyperlinks.

so, for anyone wanting to learn a little about the genesis
project, these are the links I had intended to paste in.

You, sir, are the winner.

And your credit is good with me.   You've always upheld your end of the bargain, and been very generous on these kind of charity auctions.

I'd love to see what knife you select.

Thanks to all who helped, bid, donated, and encouraged!

@Dan-o

Here is the proof of donation.  I will also email you the official donation confirmation.
