I have liked the theme of the latest giveaway threads. The problems with some are the number of folks who want in, the limited number of possible entrants, and the keeping track of who has what number.
I have a new giveaway, and a new system. This will be for newer makers. If you have made more than five knives, let the newbies have this one.

I will :
Profile a blank of 1084 into a drop point hunter profile, and anneal it.

Drill the tang for rivet holes.

Provide a pair of superb ,stabilized, Bill Moran maple scales, which have been
pre-drilled for Corby Bolts (bolts included) ,but left unshaped.

Provide a full pack of 3M polishing papers (400-8000 grit), to do the final handle finishing.

Provide on-line advise and assistance to the winner with any questions he/she may have during the knife build.

When ready for HT, I will do the HT if the maker wishes, and return it tempered and ready to do the finishing and assembly.

The filing/grinding/sanding/polishing/shaping will all be up to the maker.

The winner will be picked at random from all the posters who reply, "I'm in." by March 31. Your posting number will be your entry number. Only one entry per person.

Sound Good?

Sounds great Stacy, but what about us newbies who have made more than five knives? ;) Seriously, that is very cool and I'm looking forward to the results of your stimulus.
 
I love the giving spirit- good for you Stacy! Things like this (along with the other recent give aways... Rob, can I still pick a number for the KMG...lol) make me feel really good about being part of the custom knife making community. I'm not a new maker, though- I am sitting out.
 
Dave, Just because your knives still suck after all these years doesn't qualify you as a newbie.;):D

OK, maybe they don't suck all that bad.:thumbup: But you still can't play in this game.

OK, so what if you haven't made a blade yet?



Response to Will: OK, I'm in.

Response to Stacy: Thank you very much; I appreciate it.

I've made more than five, so I'm out. Excellent contest Stacy, that's a great way to get someone started. :thumbup:
 
Yet another very generous give away! Thanks, Stacy. I've only completed 4 so far and they were all made from junk steel and have since been destroyed so what can I say... I'm in! :)
