I have/had no idea of any raffle/auction on this knife. I simply wanted to generate-n-educate on what can...and cannot be built & show some novices another "way to go"...so to speak. Thanks for your candid input. I appreciate honesty and challenge each and every one of you to look past your personal agendas, if the build doesn't go your way, and hang in there for the vast amount of "others" who may benefit from additional ideas and opinions.
For example: If you didn't want a Stanaback Special built because:
* Too expensive
* Wrong blade steel for you
* Too heavy for your usage
* Etc...
Others could get an education and learn something from that! Same holds true if you "like" a SSP. List the "pros"...
Just sayin',
