any interest in a kith this summer? (names have been drawn)

[Ed Brooks]

Sounds good. I should have mine done by then. Ed

[PaulN/KS]

Sounds OK to me. 
And BTW, I am right handed.

[bubby]

Sure, sounds good

[Mr. Woolery]

Is a sheath expected, too?  I'm not bad at leather, but that's not exactly my favorite part. 

I'll have it done before August.

Don't know if I speak on behalf of anyone else, but  do what you feel most comfortable with.  When you get your name you can also search their past posts and interests to make a judgement call.  Some of the guys here are amazing leather craftsmen, and I could see how it may feel a little intimidating.  Likewise,  some may be weaker in that area, so if you want them to carry and use your blade they might need the sheath.

Personally,  if I get one of the bone or stone knives it will most likely go in my framed collection on the wall so a shesth wouldn't be necessary as a tool holder, except as part of the display.

not required.
but Dieselcheese does present a good point.

[Mr. Woolery]

Fair enough.  In that case, whoever I get should probably tell me if he's right handed or lefty. 

I'm all eager anticipation.  I love trades and I love knives, so this is about perfect for me this month. 

Thanks to all who have answered my first-trader questions.  I appreciate it.

Just make an ambidextrous crossdraw sheath, easy peasy

[PaulN/KS]

Regarding the "which handedness" question. Just add it to your entry post above.

[ssgtchad]

If its not too late l I'd like.to get in on this!

[Mr. Woolery]

Well, Bubby, that's one option, but not one I've done before.  I don't really like doing something for the first time as a gift or trade.  It means I'm planning to give something other than representative work.  I may end up doing something like that, but it will depend partly on who I draw for a recipient. 

This is going to be fun.

Here's a simple saddle sheath, works either side

[KHalverson]

here are how the names came from the hat.
how this works is your recipient is the name under yours .

bottom name sends to #1.
please contact your person for any info needed.

I've got my blade formed and hafted to the handle but I'd like to get a little farther along before I post any pics.
