Got that right!!

Great blanks tho.....hold a heck of an edge,look too hard too long and you'll cut yourself.

My biggest regret in giving them away is that most guys I've given them to said they probably won't use them!!I gave them to them TO USE THEM!!It's a shame for a knife to sit and gather dust............

Ray, Looks like the whole tange is damascus but the tang is ground and not etched. That should make a very pretty & useable knife. Lots of coaches here if neeeded. Have fun Ray...Doc

Ray Hammond · « **Reply #124 on:** February 14, 2008, 03:16:00 PM »

you are exactly right, Doc....front part is etched to reveal the pattern.

Its beautiful...the pattern is called STORM. I'm gonna "Herb Derr" it on the top with a file..to make it pretty.

Have a cape buffalo horn coming from S.Africa soon, and we will do the scales up with that I think, leaving some rough in it for texture and not all polished...so its a useable knife, not a looker.

WOW great looking damascus. Ray, Cape Buffalo horn scales would look SAWEEET on that blade.

Can I trade with you??

LOL

tippit · « **Reply #126 on:** February 14, 2008, 05:06:00 PM »

Ray, If you need that horn cut into slabs just let me know. I should be able to ship Most of It back :D Doc

Ray Hammond · « **Reply #127 on:** February 14, 2008, 06:33:00 PM »

Sure pretty to drool over though - LOL.

(Sounds like Doc's got a plan -

Jeremy, thanks for doing this again. Count me in for 1 knife.

brettlandon · « **Reply #130 on:** February 15, 2008, 08:38:00 AM »

Wow Jeremy, that's got to be up to around 50 knives for the swap and we have over three months to go.

Can you give us the official tally? And maybe keep us posted? Thanks again.

Heck...I have alot of blades in the works. I might do a 3 knife swap with sheaths! LOL! Love to get some other people's work!

ber643 · « **Reply #132 on:** February 15, 2008, 10:43:00 AM »

If I had got started earlier (in life) I think I would have really enjoyed making blades - but i think I will pretty much stick to assembling knives at this stage. I really like that book (a wealth of information) but wish it had more about putting various handles on, than I saw in my first "skim" through this AM.

That is what I do but I will also change a blade design into something I like better. I just have to remember to go slow and keep it cool to avoid messing up the temper.

Jeremy · « **Reply #134 on:** February 15, 2008, 01:51:00 PM »

The "Official tally" is at only a few knives right now!

As you finish your knives for the swap please email me with your address and how many knives you have finished.

Doing it this way means I don't need to go through all these pages counting the "I'm in's" and that if some people can't get a knife finished in time (lots of things come up in life) it's not a problem. I think for every 3 people who wanted to participate in last year's swap at least one was unable to or lost interest.

brettlandon · « **Reply #135 on:** February 16, 2008, 01:43:00 PM »

Jeremy, PM sent. All right guys I'm in for three! I'll post pics again when the sheaths are done. I'm soooooo excited! I love this stuff!

-Brett

Carbon Caster · « **Reply #136 on:** February 17, 2008, 01:27:00 AM »

Jeremy if you are doing it that way, I am going to try to get one or two done, but I don't know my schedule enough to know if I will have time so I don't want to commit now. If I do get the time, when is the deadline to say, "I HAVE A KNIFE FOR THE SWAP!"???

GMASIUK · « **Reply #137 on:** February 17, 2008, 01:15:00 PM »

I have my knife done. If someone can post pictures for me let me know and I can email them.
My email is [email protected] Thanks, Glen

MYSTIKBOW · « **Reply #138 on:** February 17, 2008, 02:12:00 PM »

Hey Brett, Those are some nice lookin Nessmucks.

JOHN

Jeremy · « **Reply #139 on:** February 17, 2008, 03:03:00 PM »

Brian (and everyone else), the deadline for finishing up knives and emailing me is May 30th, so there's plenty of time to make some knives!

Nice looking knives Brett! :D
