OK, here is mine.  Pictures aren't very good but this should give you an idea.

 

I set a D cell battery in there for size perspective.  Not real large, I think the blade is under three inches.

 

The sheath is my first attempt using Rob's cross draw instructions.  Not as good as some I have seen posted on here, but for a first try I thought it turned out OK.

OK, I'm back home and the utility company has the power fixed (why is it things go to pot when it's the most inconvenient?)

I'll post the *final* list later today and draw tonight.  Emails will be sent out tonight and tomorrow, so bear with me a little bit longer  :)

Good luck to all and be sure to post pics. I just couldn't pull it together this year. Maybe I'll start building a couple swap knives now for next year. Skippy

Thanks, Jeremy! Mine are done.  I just finished the second sheath today. All that is left is packaging.  Thanks again for doing this.  Larry

Jason,
       Sorry to hear your not in this year brother.  
I was looking forward to the chance at receiving one of your great little knives! Maybe we'll have to do a private trade?    :bigsmyl:
I reckon so

Eddie, there are quite a few of the regulars that had to bow out or didn't make it in this year (myself included).  Life has been hard all around this year.

BUT at 48 knives this is looking good!  :D   Everyone should have the names and addresses of who to send your knives to by tomorrow night.  Then the real fun begins  :D

Here is my swap knife. It is made from a carbon Nicholson power hacksaw blade. I believe it is 1095 or 1085. The handle is osage with brass pins. I believe the sheath is 8oz.

  I still have to mold the sheath as well as buff out the handle. I will get this done tonight!
