Hullo everyone! (Pinging both the HH and Spoilers lists) - Rick aka 300winmag sent this, and I can't explain it any better! - I think it is a great idea for those of you who may want one of these knives for yourself in addition to the ones we are buying for the platoon in Iraq.... (see background at the bottom if you don't know what I am talking about)

Put your thinking caps on for what we should engrave them with for the troops! - I think it is important to be succinct though! ;~D

Do you have a ping list for the HH folk? I was talking to WN, and decided, based on the response so far, to offer the HH folk the same pocket knife we're sending to the troops in Iraq.

Anybody who wanted one could contact me [300winmag] by freepmail, and pay by check or PayPal. This money would go directly to me [300winmag], and be apart from the funds WNeighbor is collecting for the platoon. I asked WN to handle the other funds, because that way I have no way of knowing who sends how much or how little. Every single HHD will be mentioned in the "cover letter", though, contribution or not.

As close as I can figure it, $22 will cover the knife, and priority mail. If the knives CAN BE engraved, they WILL BE. So everybody should put their thinking caps on, because I don't have a clue as to what should go on them.

If you approve, I'd appreciate it you ping the list, and explain it to folks. I'm really just a middleman on this.

If nothing else, we'll be making our own Hobbit Hole collectible.

Thanks
