LMAO, no Gene. Some dumbass decided to let us know he had movies to sell, but the mods deleted his post. And we all know your more of an offroad vehicle and not a sports car..:p

Gene, I really hope you get that knife done, cause it looks outstanding:thumbup::thumbup:
 
Man, that is a good lookin' knife design. The ergos on that handle look insanely comfortable. Is the notch in the blade for a firesteel? Or something else.

All the knives look great guys. Moose
 
Ok, here we go. My plans have gone a bit off course due to my work schedule going absolutely crazy. I'm working 72 hours weekly at the moment and six day weeks... so I'm am a bit busy right now. The knife I had originally planned on using for the challenge just isn't going to get finished on time, and I don't want to stress over trying to make the deadline. SO.... I made a knife a few weeks back the weekend of the ABS Hammer-In in Visalia. I was visiting with Ray Laconico and I had some steel in my truck. Ray was etching his mark on some blades so I just started working on a quick knife while he was etching... mostly just messing around. I'm going to have to use that one for the Challenge. I wasn't going for pretty, I was just going through the motions because it had been so long since my first knife. So it is ROUGH and UGLY! But...unlike the other knife..... it is nearly finished.

So here they are so far. My original challenge knife that I will have to finish once work settles down again.

Here is my rough and ugly practice knife that I'm going to have to use for the Challenge.

If all goes well the handle will go one today and I can breath a bit easier about being done on time :)
 
Well...mine is off to heat treat...hopefully I'll get it done in time. Life has taken a turn for the crazy lately. This has been...is being...a major learning experience for me.

Well...when you're not that great with a belt grinder and a lot of it has to be done with files and stones it doesn't exactly go quickly lol.

Thanks bro, it was a quick lesson in which is my weak side. There is a bit of a bad spot in the grind line on the other side, but I don't have time to go all O.C. on it. Next time I'll know to work my weak side first. But...I think I have caught the bug lol. I have some 1/8 O-1 I am making a couple of smaller knives out of.
