I like to think it's a group melding of the minds. Everyone here is effected by everyone else.... And David talks sense into us when we have bad ideas

White to move. Leaving the queen on G3 is a bad idea.

Looks like white is in trouble.

I know the players in this game, and the one playing white is known to be tenacious and annoying and somehow manages to survive disadvantaged situations beyond what seems possible.

I'd certainly hope so, it is a knife after all...That's awesome. I like the Jade G10 alot. That should look pretty sharp when it's done

Wow that looks amazing! Nice job for sure!
You went from never doing it (at least from what I read) to doing one out of necessity due to an error from the blade cutting Co., to some back to back to back and looking great.

Didn't end up making it to the shop yesterday, but came up with an idea for later. Nine and half inch blade. Might switch to 15N20 for big knives since I can get it from Alpha in .250" instead of the .225" max for 8670.

Probably hard to spot the differences but these are all significantly closer to completion. The Bittyrang on the far right is one I was given creative license for so it doesn't get revealed until the owner sees it finished.
After these I have the last 8670 Sylvan to make and then rest of the AEB-L Scouts and Bittyrangs.

There are a few in that pile that I can definitely see the progress in. They all look great with the exception of the bityrang on the right. The handle looks a bit uncomfortable 
.
The big chopper looks great but might need an extra half inch on the flat of the handle for my hand. Looks like a lot of fun

Believe it or not I was actually not being facetious. At least not on purpose. I thought somehow that I had actually posted a more recent pic than the one with a bunch of these clamped up. I probably thought that because I have been sending a few people pics in text messages.
