2nd annual KD July KITH

[Sean Cochran]

Ok its that time again and there seems to be alot of interest in doing another KITH. I know I really enjoyed it last year.

We will shoot for a date on the middle of July.

We will keep the rules the same as last year.
1. The KITH is open to everyone. Last year some new makers turned out some great looking knives, so dont be afraid to enter.
2. On July 1st I will start a new finished knife thread to post a pic of your finished entry. We will draw from these names and match them up. I think the way Del did it last year worked well, have an impartial party draw names and put them on the list in the order they are drawn.

Other than that I think we are ready to get this thing started. Ive gone through the other thread and gotten the names of guys who posted in it to start the list with. Ill check this thread from time to time to update the list, then we will finilize it on July 1.

Remember all members are encouraged to join in! Lets make this bigger than last year.

I know it may be asked, a KITH (Knife In The Hat) goes back to the days when a bunch of guys would get together to brag about thier knives, they would throw all the knives in a hat and draw them out.
