As promised per Sir Mike's giveaway, I am carrying this forward.

Here is a small fixed blade I customized with Rosemood and Turquoise. The only rule is you have to leave something in the PIF when you claim it. I will check in here every so often. Leave a picture of your item in the claim, and quote my post!! Hope someone likes it! It was one of the earliest knives I worked on, and the bolsters are still a little rough. I may engrave them before I send it out, but can't guarantee that.

That's a sweet little knife. Got a bigger picture of it?

What a neat little fixed blade! What's the steel?

I don't really know what kind of steel. A friend had the knife ready for handles, and I had just started working under him. This is one of the first knives I ever worked on, there is a mall gap on one side between the bottom scale and the turquoise (The clamps pulled it loose). I never finished it, if I had I would have probably sold it. It has sat on my shelf for about 2 years. I really liked the little knife, but without a sheath I never use it.

It's a stainless steel, not sure which one though.
 
I really appreciate the spirit of this thread and would like to get involved as soon as I can. I'm totally new to this whole site so it may take me a while to get into the swing of things.
 
Email received Simple Man, will get it in the mail this Thursday. Sorry for the delay but that is as soon as i can get it out. If it doesn't work out for you, I have a list of 40 people who might like to give it a try ;)

You kiddin? You aren't gonna hear me complaining. Thanks
 
OK, I'm gonna make some strops up again. These will be heavy paint paddle based, about 1 1/2" wide, loaded with Veritas Green. Like before, these aren't overly pretty, but work well. I'll make (4) of these up, and will go to the first (4) that want one by post/e-mail timestamp, but I do reserve the right to choose based on my judgement. Thanks folk.

I got the strop!

It looks a lot better than any I've tried to make.
I'll take some pics after I stop something and show it off but I wanted to make sure and thank you while I could still find the post.

You are most welcome. (No offense, but yours musta been REALLY rough then :D ) Glad you will be able to use it.
 
Should we discuss starting a new thread or let this go for a while?
I got to start one, I'm happy (tho I'd be down to start another whenever) but I don't mind if we close this one now or let it go on.

I see a few people waiting to post stuff till the morning, how about one of those people who actually have a PiF to give start the next one, that way the very first post is giving. Just an idea. Whenever someone is ready let me know, start a new one and post a link and I'll lock this one up!

Thanks for making this one awesome guys!

Edit: Lionesser has helped so many people out, both publicly and behind the scenes, that's my vote.
 
This was a great one, i have enjoyed all but had a blast with this one. So maybe let this one go till tomorrow at least then ask if someone would like to start the next who has something to offer. Or ask if a veteran of these threads would like to, there are plenty still around. Just my $.02
 
I would love to start the next one. I've been around since the first thread, but odds are I wouldn't be on when the time comes for the next one lol (I always seem to have bad timing lol)
