Knife making competition
- Thread starter Man of Tanith
- Start date
Just a thought - perhaps instead of people posting ad hoc when they've finished we should do a big reveal. Maybe if all people post to one member who isn't participating (a mod) who can collate images. Then set a date for the big reveal.
This will stop one upmanship and create a more level playing field?

Go on then, I'll have a go. I made up one of those Karesuando kits last year, and it came out OKish (though I made the handle too big for the bit of leather they supplied to make the sheath 
)
I've just bought a blade bolster & block of wood from http://www.english-handmade-knives.co.uk/ who were very helpful to a novice like me. Spent about 38 quid.
Be a nice little project to keep me out of the way while we visit the in-laws in a couple of weeks........

do i need to do the blade from scratch or can i use a blade that is half done, its all my own work and you can tell what it was due to the teeth marks in 1 side of the blade, would this be allowed????
also if its not allowed thats fine, but i may still enter but foe no prize....
thanks gents...

Teeth marks in the blade? You aint supposed to chew 'em!
My entry will be the blade you made me - it got handled for my trip to Canada but it was a rush job so I deconstructed it to do a better job....
rules
all your own work
submit links to where you bought materials
any type of blade/knife is ok
don't have to make a sheath
no pre made kits
lanny man you made the blade so go for it
Also we have had a very generous offer from Driftwoodwalker of a Neck Knife made by him for the overall winner of the amatuer catagories
i am going to do the build along but not enter as i dont want the potential for me to win (very unliekly) to cause bad feeling

Why would you winning cause bad feeling? Its a public vote after all. You'd be in it as a maker, not a mod.
Very kind of Lance.

good point. guys i'm more than happy to do the organisation of photos thing....i dont know why thats a prob....its not gona help me in any way if i see the others efforts and to be honest i couldnt care less about winning it (ok i'll rephrase that....yes i could care less about winning a driftwood blade of course....but thats got nothing to do with it, fact).
Does the man who organises a group buy thread not buy anything?
