Thanks Andy!

I was a big fan of the adventures of "Dog Bite" in the last KITH . Glad to see he found a home! I really liked the look of those carbon fiber scales on a push dagger!

Couldn't agree more on the bolsters .

Lets see if I have this correct.
Maximum 3" blade
full tang
Christmas/holiday themed

Can I put bolsters on it?

Would something like this qualify?


overall length 5"

I don't see any problems with it Steve, that's a good looking knife. The only rule, I think, would be that you have to send it to me when you're done.

Got the wife a little interested in this one too, so I'm definitely in at this point, if we have enough people. Put together a couple ideas already, I hope I can start into it this week. Heck, I might just make it either way and give it out as a gift if we don't get enough folks

If I am correct, this does not have to be a full tang Steve.

I have no problems with it either way, I will be making a full tang, just for the record, but I don't think it should be a restriction. I think everyone knows that there's no pressure to out-do anyone else in this KITH.

3", single blade and fun. You don't get more unrestrictive than that. Though I should in fairness warn you, my idea of fun may not agree with some (most really ).

Just to make sure I understand the spirit of the KITH, keep what you?re doing a secret so the person can unwrap a surprise Christmas day?

I'm in!

I am in! I like making smaller blades. Less stuff to mess up. Trying to grind S30V last night on the grinder and it is a booger, especially with a blade length about 7 inches.

I'm game either way for the holiday theme, I've already got something worked out, subtle, but I think it still says "tis the season"

Count me in too. I worked on it last night and came up with a knife/sheath combo with a Christmas theme. Now to see if I can put it together.
