2008 Knifemakers Christmas Gift Exchange! (2nd Annual)

Well, I have a lot of D2 and someone on this thing is going to get a knife like object made from a piece this Christmas. Jim
 
okay, starting this early means I get to go all awe and googoo over what kind of knife I'm getting without knowing for MONTHS. GAH!

okay, anyone who is on the fence because of newness, jump in. I did it last year as a pretty damned beginning beginner. And i'm really glad I did.
 
i'm in, i'll send an email in a minute.

this looks like it was (and will be!) alot of fun. can't wait to get started on this.
 
I can't decide to sign up for it or not! I don't even know if I will get the knife i am making myself done by then. I am filing them out now, and am procrastinating- because I don't like filing! :)
 
just do it...

Don't panic on the Christmas deadline. Some folks ( like me) didn't get theirs done and shipped until much later. Just keep working on it.

BTW, I received the knife from Estonia. Now that knife came a long way. I was quite pleased.

Some newbies are afraid that their knife won't be up to snuff with some of the blades made by others. Just make the best knife you can ,that is all you need to do. I personally would love to have received Bruce Bump's first knife. A gift like this has value in the making and the giving , not the re-sale value. I still have every gift knife that was given to me.

I second Stacy. I too still have all my gift knives and they all mean someting special to me. Even if it is the first knife you have made, just make the best you can do at this time, and it will make you better.

I'm in. You guys have convinced me. You regret what you didn't do more than what you did, right? At least I usually do.

I would like to join but I really am not a knife maker- I do art in stone, specifically stone scales. I have some of my works showing in an album on my profile page. I have written to Scott to see if my works qualify... :thumbup:
