Knife making competition

[ex member pyrophil]

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.

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.

 

[ex member pyrophil]

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 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

Live by your own words chap, I was not intending to be offensive.

Don't let one persons comments taint you.

 

[Man of Tanith]

competition extended to January 7th no extensions no arguments

hopefully this is acceptable

 

[Angst]

hi.....i'm getting more and more confused.....who has made 'comments' so bad that all this has happened?

Don't let one persons comments taint you.

 

[grey-array]

Fully acceptable, and why all the fuss It thought we all were friends,
who found a new excuse to engage projects, lets all put up our happy faces and let the best man win
Yours sincerely Ruud

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

Think I will have a go with some re-cycled plastic I have.
