I have a general question regarding KITHs, although I think I already know the answer:
Are these supposed to be a one-off design? I know the intention is to make a knife specifically for the KITH, but what happens if I make one, send it off, and really like the design and want to make a few more to sell? It's my design so there shouldn't be any issue with that, but it still seems like that's maybe taking away from the spirit of the KITH to me for some reason...
Can anyone give me their take on this?

I've made many knives of the design I will be submitting. Hondo, for really small blades like that, I personally drill out the tang as much as I can and taper it as well. Once you finish grinding the blade, the blade is much lighter. A knife of that size is almost impossible to make blade heavy, even if you tried.
