Last year I was in but then had to bow out. I wasn't gonna get in till I was sure I could this year.

Now I got the bug again and can't stay out.

I'm in for one!

Ok real knife makers...what is the easiest way for a guy that knows virtually nothing about steel to get a blade ready? I have a blank, but that seems like cheating...

It's not cheating at all. Alot of entries for the swap are pre made blanks. I plan on using one myself aswell as one or two from scratch if I can find the time. SKippy

Jamie, you want me to bring some knife "stuff" to the Bunny Hunt?  I have plenty of good steel and can talk you through most of it as you go.

Long time reader, first time poster here. Just got up the nerve to get in on the swap myself. Just wanted to try a few knives first so I knew what I was getting myself into. I also thought it was high time to tell the Gang THANKS! for all the help along the way. There is a wealth of information here, and some really GREAT people   :notworthy: .
I am in for 3 knives.
THANKS again, z-man

I have been virtually absent from this post since last year, but not for lack of desire, just lack of TIME!

I got some supplies lying around, so I'm in for one for now!

I will try to make a couple this year. I have watched the swap for the last couple of years and am always amazed at the talent on this site. I just hope I don't dissapoint anyone.

bd, you have until May 30 to finish up knives.

As a reminder, please wait until after you have finished the knives to email me your info.  Doing it that way avoids issues we've had in the past with other swaps where guys initial say, "I'm in" but then life throws a curveball and they're not able to participate.  It saves me the trouble of tracking people down to confirm... with 80 knives last year and more expected this year, that's quite a bit of work!
