CRAP!

Ok now I've go t it

Whoh - I have been so busy building a BBQ Pit(see the recipe forum) that I almost missed the knife swap thread.  Count me in for at least one or two knives.  I am hoping to find time to make a stone blade or two for this swap as well as some steel. This was the greatest swap ever last year!!

Rockered chopping blade 1 1/2 x 6 1/2.  Overall 11 1/2
Here is one that I plan to bring to the party.  It has a highly figured cherry burl handle so the pic does no justice.  This is one of the first knives I ever made and I use it almost daily in the kitchen.  It is an awesome vegetable chopper and will be hard to part with but I want to contribute with dignity.  I like makeing kitchen knives as much or more than hunters because they get used so much more often.  This is a carbon blade with a patina and has 6 coat hanger pins holding the handle on.  More to come

"Stuff" for this trade just keeps getting neater and neater-er!!!

OK,so the guy finaly got my blade done.4 weeks late I might add.He's almost slower then me...He made this blade on a magnitic table grinder.I believe he said something like 4150 carbon.But I can't remember what I did 10 minutes ago.So I will double check with him... ..bowdoc

I'd like to get in too if I still can. I've been sitting on a few I'd like to share. eddie

bowdoc, Looks like he made it out of silver dollars  :D

here are a couple mullet wanted me to post for him.
 

Thanks Chris, The top one is an old carbon kitchen blade I fitted into the horn and then Blued.I will make a sheath for it. And the stone knife in the jawbone is Mahogany Obsidean.

I just found this thread today after hearing about it for a while. I am in the process of making my first ever knife which already has a home. My dads Bday is next month and since he donated (very reluctantly i might add) the saw blades and wood I figured he should get my first. After that I will definitely make one for the swap. Skippy

One cheater blade made from an Old Hickory butcher(center), One Bruseletto(bottom right) and one Helle(bottom left). Center has zebrawood, bottom left has Imbuya Phoebe and bottom right has Mule deer antler with Imbuya cap. All sheaths are hand made and stamped with "TG08" on the back to commemorate the swap.

 
 

More GREAT KNIVES, guys (and sheaths too - I gotta get into that , at least a little, if I ever get time)

I think that's everyone, but if I missed you let me know.  There's still plenty of time left to get a knife (or two done).

Jeremy,

Just sent an email.  I have 2 completed for the swap.

Nick

Jeremy,

I will have mine ready in a couple weeks. I am definitely there.

Jeremy. I tried toP.M. you a couple weeks ago I gues it didn't work       any way my knife is on page 11. I'll try to send you the info again.

Quite a list (and quite some talents) if everyone sends their  confirming e-mails in to Jeremy (as he requested    )

Better make some wall space at home.  Looks like I'm getting a great wall hanger (or two or three)from one of these guys.

P.S.  Is it May yet?  Is it May yet?
