Recently I had Buck Knives make me a custom knife in black and gold (brass, actually, but it looks cool) with some gold engraving that got me thinking about doing something for the site. If there is enough interest (250 minimum, all the same), Buck can customize a knife for us - a high quality knife, not a little ole cheapo. Price range $50 - $100 depending on what knife we (the buying members) decide we want. The options are aplenty.
The idea is to order either a folding, locking knife or a fixed blade with a sheath. Brass bolsters with a black handle and gold engraving on the handle. Something like, "Saints Report 2013" and a fleur-de-lis. That can be open for discussion, but we can't violate NFL copyrights.
Member gets the knife for my cost + shipping (I have to ship each knife myself) after discounts, etc. SR.com will get $5 per knife.
How it will work:
If we start collecting money and not enough people come through, then I'll reimburse whatever money we collect less anything Paypal charges. But I'll try to get solid commitments before we do that so that won't (hopefully) be an issue.
So, there is the concept. Step one is to find out if there is enough interest to go any further so let me know if you are interested. If we have enough people interested, I'll throw some options and rough costs out there for your consideration.
This could be fun and we would wind up with a very unique knife, made once in very limited quantities.
Thoughts?
BTW, Buck Knives come with a lifetime warranty. FWIW.

How it will work:
- Gauge interest and see if we have enough folks interested to start doing the work.
- Decide exactly which knife we want to buy and determine exact cost.
- Set up a Paypal account which Andrus will have access to as well as myself (there may be a small Paypal cost as well, not sure)
- Collect $$$ (it will take 4 - 6 weeks to get the knives once we order them)
- Ship knives out to buyers
