i hate to do this but.....

bradleyj37 · Feb 22, 2011

so my nephew calls me up today ballin his eyes out because he wants to go to this baseball camp with his buddies and his family cant afford to pay his way, his dad is a dead beat d-bag who is not around and my sister works her tail off at 2 jobs to pay the bills and doesnt really have the extra cash to help him out.
over the years i have tried to be the father figure in his life, helping him out whenever i can so here it goes....

i will be putting one of my Hortons for sale at 5pm cst. the guy i bought it from called it a shortened Camp Blood, it will come with the spec ops sheath that came with it. price will be $250, way less than what i paid for it. just wanted to give the Horton crowd a heads up just in case.....

I will go over it and refinish. For whoever buys it. Post this link up with sale thread.

Is there a v-grind on this knife?

JTR357 · Feb 22, 2011

3V or A2?

trukreltrog · Feb 22, 2011

Pretty sure it's A2, was convexed too.

bradleyj37 · Feb 22, 2011

convex edge, dont know the blade steel, but i am sure one of the Horton faithful does.

Oh, heck. I'm a sucker for kids.

Yes, I'll offer up $25, too.

BushcraftBrainTrust · Feb 22, 2011

I got the next $25. Hold off on the sale and see if we can get 10 Hortonites to pitch in.

peter r · Feb 22, 2011

Urrr...that's not really safe. We'll have to come up with some other way to communicate that info.

bradleyj37 · Feb 22, 2011

guys, i appreciate the gesture but i have a few other Hortons to hold me over.
i would do anything for my nephew so me selling this to help him out is a no brainer.

peter r · Feb 22, 2011

your a good man. if the sale is not enough to pay his way, let me know. im still good for the 25$

Only need 7 more ... and they say 7 is a lucky number.

Jeremy Horton · Feb 22, 2011

I will put in 50.

Ditto.

I would (and have) do a lot more than that for a child.

Of course, it's a no brainer.

But think of the joy you'd be denying us, your Brothers in Horton, by removing this opportunity to do good. There's a lot of bad karma out in the world ... not every day you get a chance to do the right thing.

bradleyj37 · Feb 22, 2011

the 250 will be enough, i called him to tell him that i will pay his way to the camp and the kid could hardly talk. i really do thank you guys for the gesture, but i have the means to help and if losing a knife is all it takes, i am happy with that.
