Man, that is beautiful. I can't wait to get my hands on it!


Any chance we could get some better pics of Robb's? I love the idea of the folder sharpfinger.

Man that looks great! Let's see Robb's knife again

Slacker, my Dad fell in love with the knife you made. He told me to tell you that your work is great.

Everybody did a great job, I would have been happy to own any of these sharp fingers.

Great to hear. Let him know I would be happy to build another one for him.


I would love to see more pics of all the blades. I'll be posting several when I get mine.

Once it starts cooling off a little, Ill probably start another themed kith if nobody else beats me to it.

I'll at least be posting some pics but I would like to make a video but we will see. I smashed up my car on Friday so I've been busy with insurance and trying to find another vehicle...

WOOHOOO! Got home from work and my knife was here (2 days early) It is real beauty. Shaved a little hair off my arm before I headed out to the shop, will play with it a little more and then cut up some cardboard with it. Squirrel season opens Wed. wonder how it will perform on a bushytail? Thank You Metal I truly enjoy it BTW thanks for putting your makers mark on it! Will post more when I have more to say.

Thanks for the kind words recurve and your very welcome that just brightened up my day. I hope I got the heat treat done well but time will tell.

Got mine in today. Very well done, lots of great detail down to the packaging(wrapped blade separately in a piece of flannel and tied with the tails.)

Fits great in the hand, very nice sharp even ground edge. The pics don't do it justice. The hamon looks awesome under sunlight, and the finishing on the blood wood looks great. No apparent gaps around the scales, or defects in workmanship. Geometry of the blade is very appropriate for this type of knife, and I really like the thumb indent, and how my hand fits into the knife. I see some squirrels and rabbits getting skinned in the very near future.

I really like the sheath too. Did you use some exotic skin, or do you texture some cow hide like that? Either way, very cool. And the method of braiding the stitching is very attractive and fits with the overall "classy" look of this whole rig.

Overall, it is a knive I would imagine It selling for about $200 on a typical day. Again, very well done.

The one negative. Your work is too nice to be lacking a makers mark, even just some initials or a last name would be a great idea for future blades.

I snapped some pictures, but will not have a chance to add them until later tonight or tomorrow.

So, it looks like Fuzzy is the only one who hasn't posted that he received his.

You out there Fuzz? What do you think of your knife?

I have been looking thru this forum for a while now and a couple days ago I came across this thread and was reading all of the past KITH projects. Such a cool idea. I wasn't going to actually join the forum untill I got set up to start making some knives but when I saw the pics of the knives ALL of you made, I just had to register so that I can say how amazing everyone of them look. You guys are making me want to get some stuff together sooner so I can sign up for a KITH. I definately want to make a couple Knives first to see how they work out.
