I would like to say well done to the poeple who made a knife in the last 4 months.
I see 4 of 5 people last couple day say there pulling out or not done a knife, shame.
But lots of people havent been here for ages, weeks months.
what happened to the people who were going to send there blades off to be heat treated to the kind chap to offered to do it, did any one ever send there blade?
well i dont know what to else to say, i hope some people dont take this long when they agree to make stuff on this site (makers) for people lol
I got something from doing this, found I like making knifes. Think i done 5 so far.

your house!
Are you actually complaining that people have pulled which in turn gives you a better chacne of winning with your attempt at fitting a handle?

I haven't made a knife for this as I need to spend my free time working on knives people have asked and paid for rather than a comp for my own benefit.

I'm just loving seeing what people make, it's all creative and personal no matter what is used and its great to see yet another example of a thread which encourages folk to have a crack even if they don't have space or equipment to mix it with the masters :D Good on you, guys and thread originator, from a very appreciative thread spectator :)

Hi, yes agree with you 100%. I am no pro and after seeing this tread started decided to have a go. i live in a flat and made my knifes in the garden all by hand, no power tools apart from a drill. found it great fun and well made a few more lol i am very glad the originator started it.
this no 4 is my fav

Love your knife angst, never really liked synthetic materials but your changing my mind:D.
