I want number 39.
Thank you for the chance. I have been wanting to start making folders for a while, especially autos.

What the hey. I'll take 7. I'm working on a couple miniature automatics right now, but wouldn't mind learning the scale release.
 
It still ain't over.

WE HAVE A TWO WAY TIE.

The number is 80 (eighty).

D. sylvester and Nathan House came closest by each guessing the number 77 (seventy seven).

D.sylvester and Nathan House, choose your number between 1 and 20 with the numbers 1 and 20 not being the correct number.

NOW, for those not lucky enough to be left in the ring. This video is available from our very own Chris Crawford, the actual author and star of the video, at: http://www.chriscrawfordknives.com/

I hope Nathan isn't on Va Ka or something :( to bad to miss the shot because he didn't know..
 
Nathan, I am happy that you were able to make it. That takes a little pressure off me. The following will sound bezzar and I wondered about this type thing before even posting the thread. What can go wrong will go wrong.

Even though I knew you too much of a gentleman to purposely cause a tie I also had to realize there might be the possibility you might not notice or read D.sylvesters number entry. Therefore I had to let it go until you entered your number.

The fact is after there was a two way tie I wrote down, as the run off number, the number 11 (eleven). D.sylvester nailed it dead. Congratulations D. and I am happy to be able to send her on to you.

All that is left now is for D.sylvester to email me his mailing address. D., I can ship out to you Priority U.S. mail first part of next week

I endorse this VHS video as very good explaining the theory of operation, component construction, and tooling and such required. It assumes you have grinding ability - such as this is not your very first attempt at making a knife; you know what I mean - and both audio and video quality are more than sufficient. A knife maker after watching this video will be able to successfully make a scale release auto. It is set in a workshop we all can relate to. For those not lucky enough to win this particular copy I recommend it from Chris himself at: http://www.chriscrawfordknives.com/

Thanks fellows and very sorry Nathan. I wish I had more of them.

david
 
Email received. It'll go out Monday or Tuesday. Just like it was mine, now its yours. Do as you please but no, I do not need it back.

I've spent the last 2 weeks looking for any tutorials on automatic knife building without much success. What an incredibly generous offer. Thank you. I am a firefighter in Phoenix AZ and I work on Ladder #43, so that's my pick.
