Welcome Terence, KITH's are a great way to push your limits and get some nice knives.
You'll enjoy this.

Got a question. if i missed it in the description i am sorry. Can the knife be forged or does it have to be ground? if it has to be ground i am out dont have any thin enough steel, but i do have some monster bars of 5160 that would make one hell of a camp/hunt knife.I might make both! if so then i am in like flynn!

God Bless
Kenneth

oh and i to am a knife maker, who has many burnt toes, ground knuckles, and who has toasted his eye brows to many times to name!

HAHAHA!!! Hope your toes nuckles and eyebrows are all o.k. I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter if the knives are stock removal or forged. I think it would be great to see a variation of both in this KITH. Shane

Forged has always been fine. I plan to hammer out something myself.

It doesn't matter. All disciplines are welcome.

I'll add your name to the list.

Andrew, have you noticed there's alot of newer names in this one(not necessarily new makers). This is good.

I was thinkin' that this might be good time to try a camp set. Camper/skinner combo in one sheath. Too much?

Yet, I still want to do a big, dark, sinister persian that reeks of 'ASSASSIN'! I'd put just a flash of bright red in it somewhere. hmmm...

I have always wanted to make a hatchet combo of some sort. I have seen a couple of sets that has a hatchet and a knife that have the same type of handle shape and material and I think they look realy neat. If someone was to make Just a hatchet for this KITH would that be acceptable?? or do we need to stick to a knife. I guess it is called a " Knife In The Hat" isn't it. Shane

A blade with something to hold on to. That's kind of the minimum standard of a knife if you get right down to it.

I think a hachet, spike hawk, or any other useful camp tool would fit the bill.

For that matter, going with 'assassin', a headsman's ax would be totally awesome!
