Third Annual TradGang Knife Swap! - SEE MY POST ON pg 17!
« on: January 01, 2009, 11:19:00 AM »
The last two years worked out very well, so I figure we'll do it the same way again this year. It's pretty simple. If you want to participate all you need to do is make a knife (or three) by the deadline and Email me your name, address and the number of knives you want to swap. Once I have all the information I’ll randomly draw names from a hat and email everyone who to send their knives to.

Doing it this way avoids the problem we’ve had with the arrow trades the last few years of people saying they’d participate, but then not being able to due to whatever circumstances that came up. This way if you make 3 knives, you’ll get three knives and if you only have time for one, that’s OK too!

The deadline for this year will be May 30th. That'll give everyone a good couple of months to get everything they may need together and find the time - I know I need it!

And to answer the questions that I know will come: YES, stone blades are definitely welcome in the swap. NO, you don't need to forge the blade yourself - Helle blades and others are welcome as long as you assemble the knife. YES, 'Cheatr' knives are welcome.

Build alongs are always nice to see! (hint)       :D
