I have got mine ready to take for heat treating finally. planed on having it done a week ago but underestimated the amount of hand sanding worked on it untill about 3:00 this morning. just kind of lost track of time

I love when that happens, you look up and then, wow its late.
 
I hate to say it but I am going to have to pull out myself this time. I would have been honored to receive any one of the makers blades in this KITH. I just cant make it happen right now.

Any time I have in the shop is trying to fill orders and requests. My son is due late July so I am selling as many blades as possible to be ready for his arrival.

Sorry fellas, next time will be a different story.

Carry on Dogs,

Chris

I guess I need to get to work on this. I've been pretty busy the past month and a half and let it slip my mind. I'll get my sketch pad out and see what I can get designed tonight and then get in the shop early in the morning (I have the day off :D ).
 
I have the blade finished on mine. Here's the link to the tempering process. I used the knife for a "How-Too" demo.

I hope to be finished. My wife had to have a hip replacement done the day after I got back from Blade. We just got home from a week at the hospital. Now comes the recovery. And guess who gets to take care of her?
 
Doh! I better get on this as well... I haven't even thought about this one since last month, O' well looks like I'm off to the drawing board...
 
Jim I was looking forward to seeing the knife you put up for the exchange Oh well Ill see one next xmas ill bet . kellyw
 
Getting close on mine as well.... the first one I started had to get chucked, but I'm hoping to have the handle on the new one roughed in by the weekend. Probably have the leather done by mid-week. (Nothing like working right down to the wire, eh?) Has the picture thread been created yet?
 
Still have to do the sheath but here's the knife
