Quote Is it May yet? Is it May yet?

Man I hope not! I'm still trying to get a few knives to people I traded with and with shop time being extremely rare I need all the time I can get!

el oso, I don't remember a PM, but with this swap going my PM box fills up fast and needs to be cleared regularly... that's why I requested an email sent through TG. I saw the knife you posted, that's why you made the 'unconfirmed' list

Thanks Bernie

Jeremy, I'm with you brother. I have the materials to make the knives and sheaths but finding the time is something else all together.
I'll get there though. THANK GOD IT's not may yet.

Now I know what our problem is. My dumb a$$ don't know the diferance between a PM and a trad gang Email.

could someone help?

Holm-Made · March 20, 2008, 03:04:00 AM

Gotta get going on mine. I'll go out to the shop and write myself a reminder right now. The knives so far look great. Chad

el oso, go above any of my posts, there are 6 little icons. When you put your mouse over one of them it says "Email Jeremy" click it and your set. A PM never showed up either, but as I said, I've had to clear out my PM box often!

Jeremy · March 20, 2008, 12:36:00 PM

ArcticArcher · March 20, 2008, 07:48:00 PM

Ok I'm posting my swap knives on the official swap topic. I'm hoping whoever gets them doesn't feel shortchanged.

Nick : I can't see how they would with those fine knives :0)

B M A · March 20, 2008, 08:36:00 PM

Nick - I would see no reason anyone would be unhappy with those knives. I think you did a great job..... Brock

Thanks guys, just looking at some of the others on here one has a tendency to feel a little inadequate.

Wow where did the time go...I been so busy working on bows.I have not even had time to look at my project since I posted the pics two weeks ago.But I will keep at it,best I can...Hey guy's I did however want to post some pics of a knife my friends father Mr.Blake made.And I'am in no way tring to hijack this thread.I just wanted to share with you what I believe may be one of the most detailed and beautiful knives I've ever seen.And thought it may share some ideas as well with other guy's.( Mr.Blake also ground my blade for the knife swap).Well he did it several years ago actully Mr.Blake passed away last year and I barrowed his personal knife from his son to share with you guy's.I would be happy to email you pics of any section of this beauty you may want to see close up.Little quick history,Mr.Blake was a tool and die maker for 45+ years and probley one of the best ever..The first pic is the massive beast in it's sheath.I guess I could start with that.It's lined with two peaces of moose atler machined to fit the blade from a bull Mr.Blake shot in the 1960's and trimmed with brass copper and dental silver.The leaf's are made of dental silver and the acorns are copper.The upper and lower guard are machine fit brass..The outer sweade is from Mr.Blakes old coat (no joke).The handle appears to me to be a large mule deer shed.With copper acorn cap screw and four dental silver leafs inlayed,but note how MB ground the eye guard off.Then fit the dental silver leaf and two small acrorn in the flat.Will post a little more if you guy's don't mind??? Thank you,bowdoc

Put me in for two, here is my first (necker) and second knife that I have ever made from start to finish. Made from an old skilsaw blade with a cedar handle. The design was copied from a great knife maker here. This was a fun adventure and I have learned a lot about what I would do different next time. I don't know how well they will hold an edge but they sharpened up nice.

STOBBER · March 31, 2008, 11:01:00 PM

Dallas · April 07, 2008, 08:20:00 AM

Jeremy,
Did you receive my e mail? I'm in for 1 knife. Completed and ready to go.

Jeremy · April 07, 2008, 08:24:00 AM

If I haven't responded to guys who sent an email I'm sorry. The baby is now mobile (very) so getting time on the computer at home (or shop time) has been nearly impossible the last few weeks. I'll try to get an updated list posted tonight or tomorrow.

The swap is looking better and better all the time! Now I need to get moving!! :D
