The 2015 KITH is now closed. The list below is the final list. I will generate a random match list and send all these people their shipping labels and recipient info. Please pack the knife well and put in a note about the knife and anything special the recipient should know. Ship it insured for $100 or whatever you deem proper (USPS priority is best method for USA makers). Send it off ASAP this week and send me the tracking number. Details will be in your label info.


Final List:
Shane Alexander
Glassguy
Stacy Apelt
Bart Raven
Mike Read
Gary D
Kevin Powers
Daniel Rohde
leifjl
Atlas Knife Company ( Charles)
Salolan
Jerid Johnson

Hey everyone, I'm going to have to bow out this year. I gouged the ricasso when I slipped at the grinder. I can't fix it in an acceptable way, and I don't have time to start over. :grumpy:

Everyone's entries look great. I'm really missing out this year.
 
I'm ready to ship.

CPM-154 tapered tang drop point with natural Micarta scales and copper pins.

I'm horrible with final edges, but here it is. My first hand forged 1095/15N20 san-mai, with jigged bone and peened pins, all of which are firsts for me. It's still got some forging marks for character, but I'm happy with it. It's also my first quality leather sheath. Dave let me use his tools and guidance, and I'm really happy with it.

Your picture isn't working Charles. You can't tease us like that after that description!

Some great looking knives here so far.
 
So far 4 out of 10 with temper etched blades! Guess we all love hand sanding! I'd be proud to receive any posted knives!

LOL I must not... my entry is AEB-L.

I did it! Twice! Like Daniel, I joined Knifedogs KITH this year as well, so I made twins.

.118 AEB-L, HT by Peter's at 61 Rc, 3.25" blade, 7.5" overall, tapered tang, G10 bolsters, liners and spacers, nickel silver pins and cocobolo scales. For a challenge I made my first attempts at fully lined leather sheaths.
