There are so many things I want to say, but all that comes out is "Wow!".

Thanks guys. It was a fun build, but I had to bust my hump to finish it up in time.

Very nice knife! I've seen it on Tradgang and the Leatherwall but for some reason never commented on it. I really like that chain in there though.

A little over a week ago a friend of mine called me about making a knife for his son that was graduating from basic. He left it open ended to do whatever I wanted just make it big. This was forged out of 1/4" x 1.5" 1084 steel, OAL length is a little over 11", tapered tang, forged finger...

I dig it! Pointy, sharp, and rugged.

More incredible work, Wade. You guys just keep raising the bar for this KITH.

Thanks man. I sanded the blade again last night and etched it in some vigaroon. Ready to finish up the handle and start on the sheath this weekend.

There's a whole lot of character wrapped up in that package.

Alright guys, we've got just over a week left to wrap everything up and have your knife ready to ship. Looks like most of you are way ahead of me there, though. Our very own Rustyboy has volunteered to take care of the drawing for us on the 11th. I apprecite him taking the time to help us...

Looking great, Josh! Oh, and the drawing will be on the 11th. I hope to have someone not involved in the KITH do the drawing for us.

I reworked the tip some more last night, and did some more work on the bevels. Afterward I put and edge on it and went to town chopping on a chunk of birch. Got through the board and the edge held just fine, so maybe all is not lost afterall. Here's where I'm at now:

Very nice set you've got for the show. I was just thinking about ordering that exact same steel stock yesterday and get back to the basics with some smaller knives for a while.

Yeah, after I posted that last night I went out and reground the tip. I constantly dipped it in my water bucket to keep things cool. I managed to get it looking decent without loosing too much length. My main concern now is if I enter this one will I be sending someone an inferior blade?

That's going to be one stout blade. Thanks for the pics of your process, that really helps stuff sink in my noggin.

Well guys, looks like I'm out. I was doing the final assembly on mine tonight, andwhile peening over the tang I bent the tip. I'm a bit frustrated as everything checked out ok after heat treating. I had it penned most of the way, but wanted to get that last little bit, so I put it on the...

Got a little done on the blade over the weekend, but not as much as I had hoped. The guard is fit and epoxied in place, as are the washers behind it. Put some epoxy filler in the elk antler and am just waiting for it to cure now. I had hoped I would get it completely assembled this...

Great looking combo man.

As far as I'm concerned it's purely optional, Kevin. I don't think anybody would want to hide that blade anyway. I'll be making a sheath for mine, but it's purely a beaterupper. I think a display stand would be a nice touch, but that's up to you.

Gorgeous knife, Kevin. You're doing some fine work.

There won't be any zombies safe with that one around.
