Thanks Guys.  I've really enjoyed making them.  I think this is more addictive than making bows.  Well, almost.

This is a tease of knives to come.  LOL    This will be one of the blades I will be using for the swap this year.

ENJOY


 

Here's one from Glen

Right now there are 11 confrimed finished knives and 19 total that I know are in the works.  And that's not even half of what I know will be included!!!
That stone blade is WILD!

Jeremy, It's called triflow obsidian. When held up to the light the black becomes translucent.
It's gonna make a nice little neck knife.

Looking good so far guys!!!

Mystikbow that's a beautiful blade,perfect size too!

Hopefully I'll have some pics in the next week or so of mine......knives anyway,the sheaths will take awhile.

Glen, I realy like that knife. Nice touch with the little stone point medalion in the handle. Man
I can't wait for the swap this year. Already there is some  great lookin knives on here.

Jeremy, I probably won't e-mail you with the no# of knive I'll have done for at least a  few weeks yet.  
JOHN

John, no worries.  There's still a long time until the deadline.  I just looked back at last year's emails... most were the week before, so we're already ahead of the game  :D

That blade looks like it's on fire!  I love it!

Thanks John, I can't wait either. I just finished the sheath for it also.

I'm getting better at drooling all the time - great looking knives y'all. I was just showing my (offer), "Gecko With A Steel Tongue", to a couple of friends today and it made me feel pretty good - 'cause I wasn't too sure I was going to get away from them with it still in my possesion - LOL.

Okay, sheaths are done.  Now I just have to sit and wait.  I've really enjoyed this project and believe I'll be doing more and more knives.    


Now let's see your stuff!

-Brett

Impressive work all the way around! Hmmm....wonder if I can steal a blade from my buddy Brian between now and May...

Me and ishiwannabe are definitely in! Brian

Man there is going to be some great stuff again this year      

I just got the word from Brian....Im so in!

With all the BEAUTIFUL knives showing up on here almost daily I'm getting a little embarrassed with the stone blade patch knives I'm making again this year. I'll have to make a metal blade one to trade too.  

I for one would love to get a stone knife.I finished my knife for the swap yesterday,I will try to get pics tomarow.

here is one of two knives I am for.  I still need to put some pins in but I wanted to post it.  
I didn't make the blade, it was obtained on a swap from one of our fellow Tradgangers......  
The handle is Walnut with Purple heart.  I also added some Hickory you can see from the top or bottom of the handle.  

Dang Brock, thats NICE!  Looks real sharp, in more ways than one.
Mike

Thanks Mike.  The knife is sharp.  I invested in a sharpening system about 5 years ago and couldn't be happier.  It is called the Edge Pro III  http://www.edgeproinc.com/productsapex.html
It really does the job.  Not cheap but I love it.  Works great on 2 blade broadheads also.  I use on arrow grabber while using it on broadheads.....

here's my swap knife. the blade is carbon from an old saw blade. the handles are bocote, and I made the shieth last nite  IMG]http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/lsrbear/10  483.jpg[/IMG]0486.jpg[/IMG]0_0484.jpg[/IMG]
