Nice work Dennis, keep it coming.

Hey everyone, FD is Fred, my dad who is also a knife maker is also a Fred so we got in the habit of signing everyting with our initials so we could tell who was who, of course then I had a son and named him Fred, so we call him "Also". Ok family history aside last name on the list makes for the...

No sir, too much paperwork. the list remains the same and anyone who joins later is add at the bottom. Ok having just said that, lets make the cut-off to join Dec 15th. Up to that point anyone can join and add their name to the bottom of the list. If anyone thinks that might not be fair for any...

Chris glad your aboard, tell all your friends, the parties just getting started.

Sorry to hear about the short timefame but we're glad you can participate

I just found out that chrisstaniar has bowed out, so Ken H is going to make a knife for me.

Here's our 2022 KITH list of makers. Each will make for the name below theirs and the last on the list will make for the first. Everyone should plan on having their knife completed by January 30th. If life gets in the way, please let us know I am sure something can be worked out. This is an open...

Wow that's great! Congratulations. Hey you'll be on a roll throw in 1 more and join.

How that, I hadn't thought about it being overlooked.

Thanks, It was a fun build, had to fabricate the butt cap, my first thought was to make it a stone setting but I didn't have anything shaped or polished, didn't have any bog oak so the handle is a cut off from an axe handle that I torched then steel wooled before adding 4 coats of satin wiping...

Had a request for a sgian dubh for a wedding present this past Sunday, oh and I need it by Thursday. .....let's see a knife I've never made, that has a legal size restriction on the blade if you ever take it to the Highlands or the UK, in 4 days..... why not let's do it.

I agree with Owl, this is for everyone no divisions. Most of us are our own worst critic, this at least for me is as much about doing something I enjoy as much as getting something made by someone else that shares the same passion for the craft, no matter what stage of the journey they are at...

What if you put in a wood dowel that was as big as you could fit in then epoxy that in place? Might keep the weight down and won't use as much epoxy. Keep in mind that the more mass epoxy has the hotter it gets and in the more brittle it becomes.

I think we should give everyone until 11/12 until we post the names. I am thinking we keep it simple and everyone makes for the name below theirs and the last on the list makes for the first. If anyone has a different / better suggestion let's hear them. Also should we start individual posts per...

Now all you need to do is try each style on some oysters to see which you like better, lightly roasted over an open fire, with some drawn butter and lemon and just a splash of hot sauce... now I'm getting hunger.

I have seen them both ways. Probably just preference. Nice work

Those look great! Is the back flat or did you bevel both sides?

Looks like we're getting some pretty good interest. This doesn't have to be finished in December or even called a Christmas KITH. Lets make it easy since December can be busy enough and call it a Winter KITH and set the finish date for January 30th. The point is to do it to share with other...

The weather in Florida is getting better, not as hot and humid. Time to stand in front of a fire, for the fun of it! Anyone interested in a Christmas KITH? Let's say open design, make what you want, stretch your talents or make what you are comfortable with, just do your best and show your work...
