This KITH will be a simple interpretation of whichever word gets the most votes over a one week period.

The sky's the limit on creativity, and you may make any kind of blade you choose as long as it interprets, in a clearly identifiable way, the word we select.

With that in mind, cast your vote.

There's some great ideas here!

hmm... I figured as much.

Everyone who submitted a word voted for that word, of course. We may end up with a multi-way tie. If so, we'll have a three day vote off among the top finishers.

Hmm. Interesting. I actually didn't vote for my word. Maybe I should have. :)

I didn't either.

I say run it for 3 or 4 days. Then take the top 4 and run those till the end of the week.

I didn't vote for my words either. I'm with Ranger1, give it a few more days then narrow the options down.

Are only KITH participants voting? And if so, can we find out from those guys who hasn't voted? Otherwise, we may be sitting around twiddling our thumbs wondering if we are making a bowie or sushi knife. . .:p

Any thoughts on what a deadline should be?

I have'nt voted yet. thought the voting was open until the 28th. I am kinda torn between a couple of the words. Thought I would wait a couple a days to see how it played out. If I need to get my vote on sooner I will. if we're closing the poles before the 28th let me know. I think we may still be waiting on a few others as well. Thanks, Shane

No rush. I just didn't see a point in waiting if everyone has had their say, but it looks like there's still some votes pending.

If someone doesn't vote soon I'm going to vote again.:rolleyes: :D :banplease

I don't think it'll let you vote again Andy. Maybe I should've left that option open...

We'll give everybody the advertised amount of time. It looks like my read on the situation was premature anyway. It may play out much different.

It took me a while to make-up my mind. But one just seemed it would be fun.
I have no patiance!! That's one of my problems. I want to know now!

Or when-ever someone see's fit to tell me.

I'd like to get in on one of these KITHs, so I've cast my vote. Looks like assassin and sushi are the leaders so far, I'm hoping for mountain man though...
:rockon:

Only 24 hours left!!!!!!!!! Just about time to let the kith begin

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! !!!!!!
I really hate waiting.

21 votes so far. If everyone who voted is going to be in the KITH, it coud be a good one!

Last minute votes...

I'm picturing a big dark persion blade for 'Assassin'...

Some kind of rough-finished bowie or patch knife for 'Mountain Man'...

An all purpose camp knife for 'Hunting Camp'...

A small Asian style vegetable knife (squared cleaver style) for 'Sushi'...

Ok, I'm ready for any eventuality!

I'm picturing a big dark persion blade for 'Assassin'...


I've been looking for an excuse to make a jambiya for years.....:rockon:

I'm thinking thin double edged dagger for assassin. or a large camp knife for hunting camp.

pssssssssst... Andy.... Only a few more hours :101

The poll will shut down automatically. Whereever the voting is at that time, it'll be locked in.

I expected 'bowie' to do better with all the talk that led up to the vote.

...can't wait around. I need to go do some grinding. I'll check back at 9:30 or so.

If there's a tie, that's an indication of good support both ways. I say we each choose the word we will interpret from those two (or more) in that event.

Thoughts?

I think we may have a winner!! Only 18 more minuets.

Ooops 17more mins.

I like the idea, it gives some flexibility for everyone who voted.

It looks like it's down to 2--Assassin and Hunt Camp.

With 24 votes cast, 'Assassin' and "Hunting Camp" are tied at 5 votes each.

Unless there are significant objections I will start a new thread announcing the KITH where either of those two words may be selected for interpretation. We will have several months to complete it.

I wonder what an assassin would carry while camping?

We already know what he hunts...

A chainsaw ( don't you go to the movies?)

Hey There,
That sounds good to me!!!!!! I also wonder what an assassin would carry while camping. I'll bet a chainsaw is about as close as anything. A couple of months sounds good to me. I decided to get a table at the bladeshow west. This will be my first show. I'll be busy making knives for that as well. LET THE KITH BEGIN

Good idea Andrew, that still leaves participants with a bit of a choice.

Now.... as they say.... LET THE GAMES BEGIN :fencing:

A sushi knife? :spy:

Does anyone really eat that crap or are they just neat knives?

I love sushi!
