I've seen the list as well.  Jack's right - can't imagine any disappointments on there!  
So is it going to remain a secret until y'all just open your boxes as they arrive?  Oh the anticipation!

You all are just being plain out mean!!!

When I was in the Army there was a crime called Cruel and Unusual Punishment, I think this almost fits the bill.

I can hardly wait.

I think it has been a long and appreciated wait...but knowledge never hurt anyone!

That Boston Twister is what a knife should be!  Perfect marriage of form, function and beauty.  Congrads to you Tippit.

Stiks - I'm back - just pulled in last night (antelopeless  "[dntthnk]"  ) But had a great time!  :cool:  

As the man who got this whole thing started we'll let Jack do the honors of posting the list....

Is there any chance of getting one picture of all the finished knives prior to shipping them?  Would love to see them all in one place with sheathes, the whole works.  Maybe edit the first thread to show them upfornt

That would be cool to have them all together in one photo, but the only problem is that would mean holding everyone up until all were finished.  Some people are hoping to have their knives in time for upcoming trips so Larry had planned on sending them out as soon as each sheath is complete.

This has been a lot of fun and I personally hope that we do it again next year.......just without the Tornado's  :eek:  
We have got something "in the works" for next years Forging Material....it will be very unique in nature and will keep this Project tied to the Devistation that our area suffered in April.
I think that I'm speaking for the entire Twister Crew when I say Sincerly, that it was an Honor and it would not have been possible without the Bidders  :clapper:   Don & Skyler

Awesome work once again guys!  I am extremely excited to take my blade and not only put it to constant use but also take a ton of pics for next years advertisement.

It has been a pleasure I'll enjoy every time I draw it from it's sheath.
Give me a bow a topo and two weeks, and I guarantee I kill two weeks!

Well said Zbear...your comments echo my thoughts exactly.  My big bowhunt this year kicks off Sept. 15th.  Sure hope to take the Twister on the adventure and put it to good use on some elk and muleys.

Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in this...it was awesome to play a small part in it...already saving for next year!
