Why We Formed "Edge Out Project" Relay Team:

Almost all of us have been touched by cancer in some way, so we've decided to make a difference by walking and raising money in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event. Brian Goode a fellow knife maker from North Carolina and some friends of his started the Project a few years back.

At the event, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society in the world's largest fight against cancer.

Our team is taking action to help finish the fight. Please join our team or make a donation because saving lives from cancer starts with one team, one participant, and one dollar at a time.

I have the Knife Clayed up and ready for Heat Treat

 
Jonas!!! Thank you very much for your donation Sir! I have you down for 5 Raffle Entries... Good Luck!
 
I have the Heat Treat and Temper cycles finished up.... Just waiting on some new belts to be delivered before I do the final Grind. I see what appears to be a BEAUTIFUL Hamon under there!



 
I made some more progress on the Raffle Knife...

Machine finished and Hand sanded today, also got my logo etched on one side. I need to order a good Lorien Design Logo for the other side. Luckily Ernie is QUICK!
 
Blade is looking great Ryan!

I don't think about it often, but I'm a "cancer survivor" myself - glad to say I've been happy and healthy (fitness level varies according to beer intake, but then again so does happiness ;) ) since '96.. So, I dropped some funds in the pot to round it out for now - good luck on your goal, I'll be keeping an eye on it until June!

Cheers,
Shane
 
Shane, I had no idea you were a Cancer survivor!! You put us at 25% of our $2000 Goal, thank you my friend and you have 35 Raffle entries for your generous donation! I owe you a couple beers when we finally meet up!
 
Ryan - meh, I rarely give it a second thought. I was lucky and caught it very early and I was young and otherwise healthy. The only thing NOT going for me was I had just happened to turn down student health insurance for the semester, because hey I was all of the above (plus dumb) and needed beer money :eek::D. So, I ended up with some medical bills - but also received some charitable financial aid. So, it's my pleasure if I can give back in a small way.

I'll most likely drop some more funds along the way as you work toward the goal - but bumping the total today to $500 seemed like a nice round number :)

I will most certainly take you up on the beers and will insist on returning same!
 
Just wanted to extend an invite to any Utah Locals to Physically "Join the Team" you can register as a team member at the American Cancer Society Webpage: LINK (https://secure.acsevents.org/site/TRR/RelayForLife/RFLCY14GW/2048598174?pg=ptype&fr_id=59110) There is a $10 Registration fee and you will be asked to set a personal fund raising goal all of which goes towards the $2000 Team: Edge Out Project Goal.

Basically we camp out and BBQ making sure that we have at least 1 team member walking the Track at all times during the 24 Hr. Event.



Baby is due on June 4th, So I could use the support :eek:
 
Yeehaw!!!
 
Really good friend donated his Graphic Design abilities and made up the Edge Out Project T-Shirt design.... If you are interested in one of these shirts and a few Raffle Entries CLICK ME

Close up of Lorien's Logo... Love this design my friend!
 
Received the Donated Silver Twill (Thank you CompositeCraft Inc) in the mail yesterday and had a chance to cut the pieces and will be gluing them up today. Should have a finished blade by the weekend! Then off to David Brown for the Kydex sheath.
