I like the idea of us making our own style! I also like the idea of making a sheath. Just my 2 cents. I am very excited over this, I have never been in one of these.

But, I just started forgeing. So this one will be new to me. I am glad you were pleased.
I was once told that if you haven't been making for at least 10 years your a newbie. I do qualify. Please let me play

There is way to much to learn for me to say I know a lot. So I will still say I am a newbie that has learned alot and has lots more to go.

So, are you in? You know you wanna. . .
Yea you know I wanna.

I'm not putting restrictions on who's in and who's not. That's up to each person to decide if they are still a noob to something in knifemaking. Like I said, if you are at a point in your knifemaking where you feel you have nothing left to learn, then this probably isn't for you.

If your in this KITH that may just happen.
Warning! I plan to do something I have wanted to do for a long time. Just never got to make one. With processes I have never done before. So for this project I am the ultimate newb.
Seriously, If anyone objects to my participating I will graciously bow out.(with complete understanding)

Well, heck...I haven't done one of these in a while. Even I can finish a knife in three months! Like Stanley, I'll be in knifemaking overdrive Jan-Feb anyway. Count me in.

Guys, I had the day off since I put in a bunch of hours earlier this week, so I've gone ahead and started the main Newbie KITH thread over in the "Custom Projects" forum.
