As per your requests, this thread is to let the recipient of your Christmas exchange knife know it's going to be a little late. Please only use this thread to keep your Christmas exchange buddy informed.
 
Well I'll be the first to say it. Had the knife all done and put a big dink in the scales so ended up resanding and am waiting for varnish to dry for a second coat. It is going to be a few days late arriving.

How do we do that without spoiling the surprise?

I don't think that it spoils the surprise. We all knew that we would each make and receive a knife. I emailed my victim...er...recipient and explained the situation. I didn't describe the knife or send pics, but at least my victim knows the status and that he WILL get his knife. In this way there won't be any feeling that there is nothing on the way. If the surprise is delayed a bit, it may suck, but at least it's on the way. That's just MHO.

Since I have a picture thread the knife isn't a surprise, so I figured that if they knew my name there would be no surprise. I will try not to make it late, but it is going to be close. I may have to use next day shipping.
 
I have ALexander Noot's name aka- LXEmergency-

Alexander, your knife will be late, but it WILL get done and it WILL get to you! I feel terrible about it...please accept my apologies.:o It might be a month yet before I can get it out to you...I messed up the first time and fixed it, then messed it up again...I haven't had the time to work on it again, but I am hopefull that I will again soon. I'll keep you posted. -Matt-
 
Hey Ed. Just let me know what I can do to help. Funny thing is that I'm running behind on some Christmas orders because my heat treating oven burned out twice on me. I've figured out the problem and it should be good to go.

I have followed your thread and I would be proud to have your knife. I am sure that the recipient will feel the same. For sure!!:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I already sent an email. It's up to the post office, and the weather, at this point.
 
I have been working seven day weeks all this month.I got the knife started early, and assembled by December, but haven't got the final finishing done yet. The knife I'm making won't get its final sanding and polishing until I get a couple days off starting the 25th. It should be ready to ship by New Years. I believe it will be worth the wait.

I am emailing the recipient and letting them know that there will be a late present coming.

I'm going to e-mail the (hypothetical) recipient of mine with a heads up. Why procrastinate today when you can start tomorrow, right?

So thats why you havent been on the forums lately. Missed ya Bro.
 
Paul I apologise but I got your knife back in the mail today as undeliverable. :eek: I checked and double checked the addy, and it is the same as was sent to me. I also sent you a personal email to let you know this as well. I need a better address please.

I already let my recipient know mine's going to be a few days late. It should be mailed out this weekend i believe. I'm sorta attempting my first ever sheath and it's holding things up now >_< Oh and i need to etch my name on the blade still.
 
I sent mine out it is going to Jon Silas (docdredd). I emailed him to let him know that it may be a little late. I have not heard back nor has he posted lately. I sure hope he is O.K.

Paul,
I talked to Jason on the phone a few minutes ago. We (my wife and I) were having problems getting emails through to Jason and he never got your address change. He has it now and your knife will be on it's way soon.
