[Doug Campbell]

Great job/postings Karl, you and Lin have set a pretty high standard. I'll do my best to keep it going and I know when Robin performs his magic it'll be that much more special.

I have been a knife enthusiest for a long time, it is great to be able to see the work and progression from the very beginning of the knife throughout its construction.  Excellent work and craftmanship, this will be a very fine knife.  It really makes me appreciate the care and skill involved in making quality custom knives.

The knife and drawing arrived here this afternoon in fine shape. Looking forward to getting going on it unfortunately that wont be till next Tuesday. I'm flying down to SC to chase hogs shortly so it's not all bad  

Lin and Karl have done an awesome job on thier parts, this is going to be a great auction item!

Oh MY, I think I am in trouble!

Let the bidding begin!

Glad to see it arrived in good condition, Doug.
I ship all of my knives in those wooden boxes and have not had one "incident" yet.
Now don't take that with you to dress your hogs!

[Guru]

Awesome!   You guys are amazingly talented    

[Roughcountry]

I've been following this all along. What a cool blade by some really great craftsmen. I can't wait till I get to see it in person.

It's kinda scary to try to put the leather on this one, can't wait to try. RS

[JMR]

This is awesome! I can't wait to see what's next.

[Lin Rhea]

Me too! But it's in good hands. Doug will be showing his stuff before long.

Robin, you'll do the kids proud as any of us would. You cant keep your talent a secret.

It's a real honor to be able to work on this project with you guys. I appreciate Terry and the TG bunch allowing us to show it on Pow Wow. Sometimes some of us on the "Hunting Knives and Crafters" forum get to taking it for granted, I guess, but even though there are so many knife forums, I enjoy TG's the most.

Fantastic work!

[imskippy]

The heart and soul going into this knife is incredible. It should fetch a fortune for the kids. Keep up the amazing work guys!!

[Doug Campbell]

Evening folks, back in the real world again, Mother Nature reminded us with this today...
 

This knife would have made a great companion on the hog hunt but wasn't quite ready yet    

Lin getting to work on this knife with guys like you, Karl and Robin is a real honor for me. I can't wait to see how this beauty does in the Auction.

Been catching up on chores and pushing snow mostly today but did get a little time in on the knife. Got the handle mostly shaped and down to 320grit, the profiles on the guard, ferrule and butt cap. Sorry about the pics, wish I had Karl here to do them right, I've got to work on that some day...

 
 

Lots more finish work in the next few days, stay tuned.
