Classic Trade: Knife blanks..

[HickoryBill]

I'll be bringing a few knife blanks to the Classic this year...Ill have a few forged blanks, some cut/ground from spring steel, and some cut from old filed all good steel. I'll have a few finished knives on hand as well...If I don't trade them person to person,I'll throw them down for the trade blanket... Let me know what ya got and what ya might be interested in...I could get a couple done before the Classic if someone wants a specific design...Thanks Bill

[Pat B]

Bill, I'd be interested in a knife blank or two. We'll work something at the Classic.   

[HickoryBill]

Ok Pat no problem..What size and material? I assume your satisfied with the last one ya got from me?

[osage outlaw]

I would like to check out the blanks to Bill.  Maybe we could work out a trade for some curly scale material

[Pat B]

I'll be wearing it around my neck at the Classic, Bill. I love it.
 Let see what you will have and decide then, if that's OK.

What are you looking for in a trade?  I will have some elk horn for scales and maybe some different woods.  Joe

[HickoryBill]

Joe: Im lookin for a little leather and if ya aint got what I want I'll give ya a blank! What size/style/material ya lookin for?

[Wolf Watcher]

Bill:  What kind of leather are you looking for?  I have tooling leather for making belts, knife scabbards, etc, plus other kinds.  I plan on bringing a box of scraps that can be used for bow handle wraps and arrow rests to be given away!  I like skinner style blades, but to be honest I like knifes!  Joe

[HickoryBill]

Ok Joe..bring some leather and I'll put your name on a few blanks

[HickoryBill]

You might throw me in for one to HickoryBill. Not too sure what I would have to trade but maybe we can work something out. Patrick

[HickoryBill]

Ok  Patrick...Im gonna try to get 6 blanks done...I have to just about finished now

[lebhuntfish]

Don't rush your self on my account. If you can't get the other guys done, don't worry about the one I asked for. It's not a big deal, just thought I'd try making a knife. Patrick

[HickoryBill]

Patrick..Ya never made a knife! No I gotta make ya one!

[lebhuntfish]

Nope, never made one before. But it's on my list of things to do. I have a few old files and access to all of the knife scale materials I want. I thought a blank would be a good place to start. There is a place called the rose wood shop just down the road from me.

Would you be interested in an old farriers rasp? Patrick
