Timothy Artymko Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 What do you feels forum members think of doing a small knife exchange. I know most of us have zero extra time, so I am thinking the knife would be a neck knife kind of size in whatever style normally make them. And then have the drawing in early December something. kind of late notice, but I personally am totally up to doing this, anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin_Lyles Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I like the idea. It's basically a KITH (knife in the hat). This forum has done it for the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Artymko Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yeah, and something small that won't take up to much time. And known materials will definitely speed up the process 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Alberson Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 That would be pretty cool! Although does it have to be a knife that goes around the neck, or can it be a tiny belt knife?

Doug Crawford Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Sounds fun- I'm in Speaking of KITH though, when is the subject for next years knife revealed? Edited October 7, 2016 by Doug Crawford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Alberson Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Is it revealed or decided by everyone? I think a few of the suggestions were: Eating set (fork and knife), Friction folder knife, and kitchen knife. It seems like there is a practical/culinary trend to it...

Timothy Artymko Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 @ Wesley, I said neck knife to designate the general size, but creativity is your limit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Abbott Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 To deviate from the standard KITH, we could do it like this... no sign-up, just an announcement that there will be an exchange on December 1 (or the 7th or the 14th or whatever) Make a necker if you want to participate. On the date, run a list for 24 hours (or 48 hours or a week) and only throw your name in if you have a knife ready to go. Do the swap. Kinda like a Christmas/Hanukkah/Winter Solstice/{insert your own} party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor J. Myers-Norton Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Cool! I just made up a design for a small neck/boot knife and have a small chunk of Damascus to make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin hopkins Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Awesome, I'll look forward to this The smith also sitteth by the anvil, And fighteth with the heat of the furnace, And noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, And his eyes look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh, He setteth his mind to finish his work, And waitethto polish it perfectly. -Ecclesiasticus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grpaavola Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 So... would a blacksmith knife work? -Gabriel 1 The fundamental cause of trouble is that the stupid are cocksure, while the intelligent are full of doubt. -Bertrand Russell, philosopherfollow me on Instagram @raggedravenforge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Muci Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) So... would a blacksmith knife work? -Gabriel Since I don't have much shop time until the next year and have orders to fill, I would be oriented on the blacksmith knife as well. Since Timothy said, early on, "creativity is your limit"... I'll hold on to that. Also, for the next KITH I would be very happy if it could be an axe... I make kitchen stuff quite consistently, so it would be a nice digression... I am in, if the deadline is atound the 10th, the 14th I will visit my family in Italy and I won't be able to ship the knife...

Pieter-Paul Derks Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 How did I miss this? This looks like fun, I can make some time to put together a small knife. So Count me in for a neck knife. I might have some nice Damascus leftovers to play with. http://mefecit.nl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Alberson Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Cool! Having the deadline on December 1st should be plenty of time. I can post a thread 2 weeks before so people can post pictures of the knives that they completed. Is that okay?

Joshua States Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Whatever you guys want to do! Want me to pin this? Pin it in the KITH thread as CKITH 2016? “So I'm lightin' out for the territory, ahead of the scared and the weak and the mean spirited, because Aunt Sally is fixin’ to adopt me and civilize me, and I can't stand it. I've been there before.” The only bad experience is the one from which you learn nothing.

Francesco Muci Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 So how about the theme being "something small" like 2" blade or so? I love making small knives, miniatures and folders... anyone have any other idea or any twist to include?

Wesley Alberson Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I don't think that something like this should have a twist to it, just a small fixed blade knife that is about 2 inches and a sheath if the maker has the time. It could be anything from a wide skinner to a narrow utility knife. Use materials that you are comfortable with, or you can use this as an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone.

Wesley Alberson Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Maybe it could be called "Secret Slicer" like secret santa, or maybe.... Crithmith??
