My email program put this in the junk mail box. Maybe yours did too
Okay, here's how The List works:
1) Find your name.
2) The name BEFORE yours on the list is who you will RECEIVE a knife FROM.
3) The name BELOW yours on the list is who you will SEND your knife TOO.
In other words, knives flow from top down in this list. Mark Williams send
his knife to Donovan Phillips. Donovan sends his knife to Dan Gray, and so
on.
Because he's at the end of the list, Mace Vitale will send his knife to Mark
Williams. Got it? When we get closer to the March 19 "due date" I'll send
out the addresses.
RULES: make at least one knife that is functionally able to be used. That
means a heat treated, fully finished knife. No size, style, monetary limits,
but remember the Golden Rule: send a knife to someone else that you would be
happy to receive yourself. Do your best. I suggest NOT asking the person on
the receiving end of your knife what they want. Surprise them. Let's not
share pictures, details, hints, or anything else before the send-off date.
Take digital pics and make them a reasonable size and Jared P will get the
website worked out. As far as I am concerned, once the person receives your
knife, you can post your pics on Bladeforums or wherever, but let's not do
that beforehand. Sound good? It's preferable that fixed blade knives come
with a sheath, stand/case, whatever as appropriate. My knife from last year
was unmarked, but I'm going to attempt to mark it this year. Keep your
fingers crossed! My knife will be 100% better than it was last year, too, so
don't worry, Shappa. ;-) Busting chops is recommended, but let's be nice and
keep criticism reasonable and aimed at helping us all improve than being
jerks. Sound good? If something weird comes up and you need to drop out, I'm
people will understand. If you will be late or very early sending your
knife, please notify the person who is getting your knife as well as me. If
you want to thro cigars, booze, etc in the packages, too, then that's fine.
As long as there is a usable knife in there, that's what matters! And, most
importantly, have fun!
