This is the Official 2014 KITH Thread.
Here are the rules:
1. The Knife in the Hat is open to all knifemakers. There likely will be a wide range of skill levels involved. There are no restrictions on the style of knife you make, but it should be representative of your skill, and one that you would be proud to have your name on.
In order to keep this friendly to our international members, non-kitchen knives should have a blade length of 4" or less. If you prefer to make a longer knife, you may, as long as you have an additional knife made of similar quality and meets the requirement of a blade length that does not exceed four inches.
2. I will create the photos thread after a few makers state, or show their completed knife. All participants MUST have their photos in the “Photos” thread by 12:00 Noon PST on July 14th. Those without photos of their knife completed and ready to ship will be withdrawn from the KITH. I feel this is the only fair way to do this. This should be fun and a positive experience for all involved.
3. The drawing will be conducted as such: I will maintain a list of participants in the thread that will be added to in the order people sign up. Once the deadline is met, I will remove anyone that hasn't completed their knife and then assign the participants a number in the order they were added. The number of the person you will send to will be determined by adding the first two numbers of the Illinois Lottery evening "My 3" for Monday, July 14th to your number. In the unlikely even that those add up to zero (0) or one (1), I will add the third number. Those at the end of the list will roll around to the beginning. I will also make a list at that point and add it to the thread so there is no confusion.
Here is an example:
So let's say the winning number is 127. 1+2=3
Maker #1 (+3) sends to maker #4
Maker #2 (+3) sends to maker #5
Maker #3 (+3) sends to maker #6
And so on....
As I mentioned, the list will wrap back around. Basically what I will do is drop everyone in to an Excel spreadsheet and copy that list again in to the next column offset by the number (In the example, 3)
I like that this will randomize the "offset" from 1 to 18 rather that just being the person above or below on the list.
