Listen! Really!
I just re-read this build, making my list of eligible crew members for the numbers drawing. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the response from all of you, with regards to this build...and: For that, I thank you! We have not had this kind of response in years! Well done...and a very well done build, with regards to exactly "what" we are building for one lucky crew member!
Just in case you are new to the next (and final) step in our build, I will recap it now. I am going to post 50 numbers for your favorite number choices. 1-50 will be available to the crew. Numbers will be assigned on a 1st come/1st served basis. You will post up your "top 3" number picks, in order of preference. I will list your forum name, next to your number. In 1 week, i.e. next Saturday evening (OK: Not "quite" 1 full week) I will chose the winner's number, via "RANDOM" computer-generated number process. That winner has the option to purchase this knife! If that 1st choice refuses or declines (for whatever reason?) we will take number pick #2...and so on until a crew member wins.
This build has gone quite well. Do we all get along and agree with "everything"? Of course not. Did we build a killer Randall Made Knife? Of course we did! Here's what we're building:
* Randall Model #7-5 inch
* The "Fisherman-Hunter" Model
* Hand forged stainless steel blade
* Special forging, #6 blade grind
* Thumb notches
* Brass single hilt
* Brass smooth collar
* CW (Customer's wood supplied)
* Box Elder, purchase at this year's (2017) Blade Show
* Model B sheath, waxed leather option!
We can still decide on a squared-top hilt and a hone, verses no hone sheath configuration but that will be decided on by the winner of this build! Thanks again for a great build crew! I couldn't do it without you.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
