Two came to me in the mail yesterday. One from EL OSO and the other from ALW. Both are great knives and both made me feel a little "un-worthy".
Both are very sharp, great fit and finish and feel nice in the hand.

El OSO's has a full tang with 3 brass pins and what is becoming his trademark upswept blade design. My fiance really likes this one John so I think it will ride her belt a lot this fall.

The ALW is a very nice hidden tang drop point(my favorite blade design) with osage and brass in the handle. This little knife feels like it grew from my hand.

Both blades will see action as I believe tools are to be used and not just looked at. I will try to report back when they have been bloodied. Thank you so much, both of you, and all who participated this year. This is so much fun. I am also happy to report that I have been learning to forge and will hopfully have a few real gems for next years swap. - Bob Urban

Those are certainly great knives...But you need to edit them in something like Photobucket down to 640 pix or less. Thanks...tippit

Sorry about that - here they are again

ALW · June 10, 2008, 07:13:00 AM

Bobby Urban, hope the knife holds up for you well.

I also received my knife yesterday. It is from Tippit. All I can say is WOW! A beautiful camp knife with file work. A nice heavy blade. I will get pictures this evening when I get home. Thanks Tippit. The craftsmanship is great and this knife will definitely get some use.

Thanks Jeremy for all the work to get this swap put together. After receiving such a nice knife though, I can see I need to get better at knife making before next year! Thanks again to all involved.

Glad you like it Larry! Can't believe it got there so quick!
Incedentally, if any white or waxy looking spots show on the sheath, I may have overwaxed it slightly, they'll just buff clean off

owlbait · June 10, 2008, 07:23:00 PM
