Dunkield Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 the sheath was as much work as the knife in the end Do I get a prize? ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Digit's knife is excellent, and should win the contest. This has nothing to do with the fact that he's my mate. It's just excellent craftmanship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Congratulations Dunkield, Cometa24/7 the knife i made was from a blank piece of steel, which i heat treated and tempered, it was not a kit knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antlerman Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 well i would say that they are both winners as digit's knife was made from scratch so should be in a different category, than dunkield as his was a kit knife and both were very well made.

Daveo26 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I call for 1 months extension, due to family commitments, the game season, my car breaking down, the wind being against me and the sun in my eyes :o (and forgetting all about this) Anyone wishing to enter a knife should post a pic and a few details on 3/3/11 I suggested this comp so i decide the closing date.

psm Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I propose we have a knife making competion here on pigeon watch. Anyone can enter and make any style of knife you want. I suggest we put a time scale on it say 4 monthsish???....... 1st Feb closing date? Then we post pics and details up of the knifes we have made. Extra points should be awarded for inovation and fabrication skills, I.E out of two beautifully made knives the person who forged their own blade as opposed to someone buying a blade in should win, if that makes sense??? I suggest the knives are then but to the vote on this very forum. As a prize the winner gets to bask in the glory of being the best damned knife maker on here. Any interested parties should make it known on this thread ASAP. Any takers? heres a hand made one,my friend made hes making me another now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
