"Official Knife Swap '08 Picture Thread"
« on: June 06, 2008, 09:19:00 AM »
Figured I'd start a thread and maybe everyone will follow suit.  

Let's post pics of the knives and who it came from.

Congrats to all who participated this year. It is my first swap and you best believe I'll be bringing bigger and better next year. Thanks to Jeremy for doing all the leg work.     :clapper:        :clapper:

Please post some pics!!!  I commenced my journey into the dark side (as a traditional archer) just last September and I've refinished 3 older recurves, made 3 plains-style quiver and now looking for inspiration in making knives.  Already have 2 blanks cut from a circ saw blade.  Is there a 12 step for my addiction?  Seriously, I'm anxiously awaiting the pics of the 50 some blades!

Got a box Saturday from Kevin Halverson. I was like a little kid running into the house! It is a great knife, and reminds me of my Dads hunting knife that he has had since 1962. My son sead "wow dad that that knife is a lot cooler than your knives  :knothead:    :biglaugh:

Got home this afternoon to find two sweet knives in my mailbox, one from Mysticbow and one from khalverson. Thanks John and Kevin! I will post pics soon. I guess I need to build on my knife making skills for next year.  :notworthy:
Thanks Jeremy for the hard work putting this together.

I came home to a box with a great looking knife and an equally pretty neck sheath. It's funny, I told my wife when Derek (Longbow) posted them and said one is "headed due south" I told her I sure hope it's the one with the little cross in the center and headed for Florida. I love neck knives!I really like it a lot and think it's cool that the wood came from your place. Thanks Derek.
