[Crag the Brewer]

This was a great turnout.....we had almost 50 entered.
I'll have to look from my previous Give-Aways, this might be the Most....
The increased attention to my work has been very inspiring for me to keep getting better.
I hope I never disappoint.

I have everyone 's names added, we will do the drawing later, and announce the Winner on Sunday.

I want to thank Everyone at Bladeforums for the continued support, I wouldn't be able to donate knives, and do the Give-Always without Your generous actions!!!
I purchased a makers membership to do things like This, to give back to the community. I'm glad I did, it's been great.
I'm not a maker who publicly sells here, My stuff doesn't come up alot. I'm Slow to make things. I'm really just doing this all for Fun, but it means a Lot to me, and I appreciate all that You have given me.

THANKS.
Thank You

Still got my eye on that "Food Truck" model, though. Brings to mind a big, scruffy, loyal, trustworthy mongrel with nothing in the looks department, but who you trust with your life.
Umm, this is kind of personal, but do you talk to it?

Haha.....unfortunately Very much so....my knives would go to their new owners 3-6 months faster, If I didn't talk and fondle them so much (the knives)

I went digging through my scrap pile, and I found another blank. Same exact profile/same steel/same heat treatment that I used to turn into this Give-Away.

 

[oldmanwilly]

Congratulations Linus Knives !! And thank you to Crag the Brewer for a generous giveaway!!

 

[Jed88]

It's That time of the year again.....our Second Annual Thanks Giving......

Last year we announced the winner on Thanksgiving. This year I'd like You to have it by then.....(Hopefully)



As always, I'm a little behind....but I've got it started, I'll maybe post some updated pictures in the days ahead? ....Maybe. haha.

This year I'm calling the knife "Food Truck".
As you can imagine, it's a kitchen/food based design..... Actually, it's My version of Tops fish/frog market knife. I've never seen, held, or used That knife...it's Not a copy....just That style.

Mine is going to be made from Very Hard 8670.
64HRC. My current kitchen knife is made with this steel and heat treatment, and I'm constantly impressed with how the edge behaves, and it's definitely not babied....not in our house.

It Can and Will rust ... I think the Blotchy look will be nice with these scales....

We are using Maple Valley Richtite for handle scales, with black vulcanized liners, and probably some stainless hardware of sorts, idk yet?
I think it will look nice, but utilitarian.

I also think This knife will become your favorite.

Please see the Rules below, and I may add more.
