Second Annual TradGang Knife Swap!! - Emails are all out!!!

[Holm-Made]

I got my knife done this weekend.  I will post pictures when I get the shealth done.  O1 toolsteel figured walnut handle.  Chad

[Izzy]

Done with my second knife.Like HolmMade. when sheath isdone Ill get em posted.

[MYSTIKBOW]

JEEZE..with everything thats been going on with me since this thread got started I thought I'd never get any knives done. Well here is one for starters  
I'm not sure the Bison leather sheath goes with it though. I think it would look better dressed in a buckskin sheath with fringe like this one

[MYSTIKBOW]

Here is another one that I have almost finished

I think I'll dress this one in buckskin as well.

Jeremy,I'll e-mail ya with a total knife count in a few days.

Nice looking blades there Mystic.  I know the bottom pic is obsidian, the first one looks like it might be agate.  Or is it just some translucent obsidian?  If you're looking for opinions I like the buffalo sheath with the beadwork just fine.  

Have Fun
Herb

[STOBBER]

Nice looking knapping! Great work Mystik!

[imskippy]

I finally finished my first for the swap. Old circular saw blade, bllodwood and maple with my first sheath aswell. Oal 5 1/2" Blade 2 1/4". One question will everyone be including descriptions of the knives they send out. I like the idea so you know what it's made of and who made it etc..  Skippy

 
 

[MYSTIKBOW]

Herb, Thanks for the input. The top blade is indeed translucent obsidian with some gray running through it.

[elk ninja]

Got two done for the swap.... posted elsewhere, but I'll share a couple pics anyways...

Nice work Elk Ninja ------

[ArcticArcher]

It's MAY!!!!!  Only a few more weeks and we start sending out the knives and getting other ones.      

This is my first swap and I'm pretty amped up about it.  The St Jude's Auction starts then too.  Man this month just can't move fast enough.

[Jeremy]

The St Jude's Auction starts then too.

Yeah, that means I have to pound out at least 2 knives this month (and finish the blades that are promised to people)

I'll try to get an updated list up tonight or tomorrow to see how many I've forgotten  

[ishiwannabe]

Im chipping away. A bit more and the swap knife will be done. It will be gray obsidian with a deer leg bone handle. I will surely post pics when its done.
