Ok thanks alot!!! All it takes is to point me in a direction the rest is easy lol but untill I figure out what is going on I kinda get lost. I already have mine in mind time to put it to paper and to steel!!! I am pretty stoked to do this not so much for the fact that I will get a new knife but the feeling of somebody owning one of my knives is pretty cool

Well, after about 20 sketches and a few hours, I finally came up with a design I think worth of entering the KITH. I imagine I'll have to take quite a bit of metal out of the handle to balance it, but thats ok - drill bits are cheap!

On second thought I will wait to post it. I want to make a few more sketches first. Maybe later tonight I will have it done

AAK, since you're number 5 to jump in, I'll go ahead and start the official sharpfinger KITH thread.

This KITH is based on the sharpfinger style knives, with a lot of breathing room. Bi chose to be more conservative with my design like metal did, but you can go crazy if you want. Official rules will be posted in the new thread. I'll get around to typing it up in a bit.

Thanks man, I'm not sure about the bolsters tho. I was playing around with the idea and I just cant get it to work quite right with the shape of the blade but time will tell. The scales are rough cut and the blade just needs a little more work before heat treat. I left it at work but I will get some pics up asap.

Not to diminish any enthusiasm but...

You should pick a date that the knives need to be done by

Sheath included?

Like I said I wasn't trying to be buzz killington, Its just that if you don't define the parameters these things fall apart

Thanks for running this
