I should be getting some from Aldo early next week, so I probably will be fine, thanks though.

So far one guy has told me his knife has been shipped. There's still plenty of time though, you can ship up to the 15th and not have to worry about being late ...

Hey Ray what do you think about making this a recurring/open opportunity? Everyone try and get this batch in on time, and then in the future as more noobs trickle in etc, as long as they pay shipping all three ways, why not. I'd be willing.

That sounds like a plan. And, if we're going to do that then we might also make participation in a HT KITH a requirement for new knife makers who want to get in on the other KITHs ...

Postal service, parcel post package is good enough but you might check the Priority Mail price as many times Priority may be less than a dollar more. Roll the blades up in paper and put enough newspaper or other padding in the box to keep them from moving around. If you want the blades back, put a return box inside with the blades and put postage on it or include some money to cover postage.
And for Pete's sake, include a piece of paper, card, something with your name and email address on it so we can contact you if we have questions and so we can give to the results of the test...

Yup, Sunday chat as usual. I don't know if we'll have a full house because of the holiday weekend but I'll be there ...
