Ashokan challenge for dolts

another rule.... mace is not allowed to work on the blade at ashokan.... it needs to be done before that

and no i will not make a kydex sheath for you
 
What are the size requirements? I'm thinking of about a 10" to 12" model :D

None of us are sure if you have ever started and finished anything, ya bum! That's why I included rule #8 in the Indispensable Law Guide of Ashokan Kiridashi Midnight Tactical NeoTribal 5-Axis Extreme Challenge of Death.

Dear matt this quote is why you don't have any time to make a knife..my wife thinks..wait she's right here

Dear Matt,
You're such a dork.
Love, Elizabeth

ps mine is done.. I showed it to mace and he's jealous I've made more knives(and wasted more steel) than he has so far this year..

rule number whatever the heck we're on: dave sylvester cannot make a kiridashi out of
3"X3/8" barstock and make fun of me because i can't pick it up.

rule number whatever number comes next: if anyone can make a beta titanium, serrated, striderized, tungsten dlc coated, tritium insert sporting,silver twill G10 handled, super anti ergonomic, zombie slaying, self defense, kiridashi with a carbon fiber patterned concealex sheath, with jump rings, picatinny rail mounts, wire snippers, and a screwdriver tip. you are automatically the winner of the challenge and will be able to move on to the sudden death round (aka the infamous sacred ritual of adjudication on the wiggly bridge of doom and despair) against the reigning champion thumb wrestler Matt "my sandalwood pre shave oil doesn't make me gay" Gregory

and if you win you're crowned the official ashokan champion. sam has your scepter tied to his truck

Here are a pair that Tai Goo and I made back in February. I think they've got the "NeoTribal" part down but I don't know about all the striderized jump rings with wire snippers. I'm still waiting on my delivery of tritium vials. :D

Damn, that's hard.


The challenge is open to all - if you feel like showing off, do something cool with the idea. If you're looking for pointers, do your best and let the experts help you. If your kiridashi is 12" long, dandy.

Paulie, tell Liz to lay off of me. She's so strict!



I think I've decided on a carbon steel piece, maybe with a touch of hamon. Some cool guy just sent me a piece of rayskin I'd like to work with, too. Of course, I've also got some gorgeous hardwoods, so maybe I'll have to make two!

Oh, yea, a 10" to 12" kiridashi.....yea, that's what I meant :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Thanks for the links and pics, gents. Those are cool! I dunno about the challenge but I definitely need to make one for the shop. :thumbup:

I have one rule for you though, no more of your "rubber friends" please, that was embarrassing enough last year finding one tied to my bumper.

I believe the following link shows the synthetic "Kiridashi" that Sam was referring to. It may be considered a rude picture, so click the link at your own discretion. Sam's Kiridashi
 
I found that in Mace's tool bin - as you can tell, I'm resting my arms on the side of Mace's truck.

Mace claims that it was Spangle's, though... I think those people that are interested should ask either one of them. Due to my strict belief system, I'd never have anything to do with things of this nature. However, I'm not a judgemental guy - to paraphrase the great Dave Attell "whatever Mace and Spangles and another woman with a penis and a midget do to a donkey is their gosh darn business."
 
That certainly was not mine, though for some reason everyone kept trying to give it to me?

Matt does like the cigars :D.

Matt, I think you got that for your "Tool box" not mine.:eek:
Sam, the only reason you kept getting that was because you kept askin for it!:D
