Jeremy Blohm 524 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 As the new year nears it gets me thinking of the kith for the next year. Maybe it's time? @Alan Longmire Link to post Share on other sites
Conner Michaux 274 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 So how does KITH work, Knife in the hat right? So kinda like everyone makes a knife under a certain topic, and you draw names to see who gets who's knife? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Blohm 524 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Exactly....kinda like a Christmas gift exchange. Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Middleton 568 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'm in. I had a lot of fun with this years KITH. A couple of theme ideas: 3" locking folder >7" dagger 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Zeb Camper 784 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'm probably in. Depends on the theme. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff Keyes 540 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Friction folder, higonokami 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Conner Michaux 274 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hope I can do this in 2020. Thumbs up on the folder idea 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Blohm 524 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 I like the friction folder idea. maybe a camp axe or camp knife Link to post Share on other sites
Zeb Camper 784 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I like the folder idea. It's something small and easy to commit to, but complex enough to keep the gears turning.... But on the other hand the dagger sounds cool! What about a blade of the maker's choosing within a loose set of parameters? Like a 5" bladed knife. Or a "carry knife"? Something you could run wild with. Just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Blohm 524 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 I like the thought of that. Let everyone make what they like/there style. Link to post Share on other sites
JASON VOLKERT 70 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'm in!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Bruno 90 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) I would like In for next year. Have you guys done spears before? Or maybe something more practical, like a kitchen knife in pattern weld? I like the idea of loose set of parameters to keep the creativity flowing... Maybe do a set of two or three smalls?

Jeremy Blohm 524 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Something viking is going to be my suggestion for this years KITH. Link to post Share on other sites
Conner Michaux 274 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Save the Viking stuff for KITH 2020 when I am experienced enough to do it 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Blohm 524 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 That would be fine with me. I'm going to participate no matter what the theme is. It gives me the extra kick in the butt to make something outside my comfort zone. Link to post Share on other sites
Conner Michaux 274 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I would participate if If I had A working forge at the beginning of this year, then I would have more than a month of experience. But sadly that is not the case... Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Middleton 568 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Wait for the theme to be decided before you count yourself out Connor. It may end up being something right up your alley. Link to post Share on other sites
Conner Michaux 274 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Thats true. Link to post Share on other sites
Conner Michaux 274 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I kinda like the idea of fixed blade EDC's But thats not much of a challenge for ya'll. Link to post Share on other sites
JASON VOLKERT 70 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 So how does this work? Do we end up taking a Vote on what to make or does somebody just pick? Link to post Share on other sites

At some point, someone must open a poll. I'm not sure if anyone can do it or not. @Wesley Alberson started it last year I believe. I dont know if its appropriate for me to do it since I've only participated once before and don't know exactly how this stuff works. Anybody that knows what they're doing out there lol? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Blohm 524 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Everyone throws out ideas and it ends up coming down to a vote on what to make. I'm not sure how to make the poll but @Wesley Alberson does. After the poll is made everyone votes on the theme. Last year was a magical themed blade. Once the theme is set everyone who wants to participate makes a blade based on the theme while doing a WIP post of your progress. When everyone is finished someone puts all the names in a hat and the blades get exchanged based on the results of the names drawn. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Dougherty 1,233 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I'd be interested in some sort of folder. I've been wanting to design one since I sat through a demo by Steve Culver. Link to post Share on other sites
DanM 33 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Arrowheads... from 13 years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter-Paul Derks 242 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I'm in whatever the theme turns out to be, I always have a lot of fun participating. I rather like the idea of doing a fancy arrowhead myself, it would be way out of my comfort zone and probably a lot of fun Link to post Share on other sites
