We're slowly wrapping up the Newbie KITH, so I thought it would be good to get some pics up of as many of these knives as I can. I must say, everybody turned out some very nice knives for the limited amount of experience as there is amongst this group.
I will update/add pictures as they are available.
So, for your viewing pleasure, the knives. . .
