Hey guys,

A while ago i forged a blade in mild clad san mai. 80crv2 core if remember correctly but not super sure. Unfortunately its spine cracked in heat treat so i cant sell it. However, it has some of the best low bevel forged geometry ive ever forged so itd be a waste to throw it away. Ill be offering it up for a passaround, for as long as it lasts. You guys can pretty much do anything with it(except steal it xd). Feel free to start stone polishing or throw on a new handle. If doing major mods, please confirm in this thread its ok though.
Rules are:
*People will get it in the order you respond in. First to respond is the first to get it.
*Shipping can go anywhere in the world so keep that in mind.
*Please post a picture of its state when you get it when you ship it out.
*You can keep it for a period of 3 weeks max.

Heres some pics of it. Hasnt got a handle yet but ill throw one on before i ship it out.

Excited to hear your responses!
 
I would love to be in this one but I won't be in US for a couple month, hope those who participate have some fun.

Tho personally I think it makes more sense to circulate in Europe first tho, since you are located in Netherlands, alot of European members are probably asleep when this was posted.
 
Oh right, makes sense yeah. Always forget about the taxes and stuff because i never get them.
I already have another passaround going on in the EU now, so i thought it might be nice to give the us guys a chance too. Though i suppose if there arent too much eu guys we can do eu first.
Maybe should have thought this through better hah.
Ill wait until tomorrow afternoon or something to see which eu folks are interested
 
Looks great! I’d like to give it a go. I’m in US.
 
Hey, i had a busy period with school but i found some time to throw on a handle. My appologies for the delay.
It is important to note that this handle was thrown togheter in 15 minutes, and is literal scrap wood. It is not up to standards in terms of f&f. However, just to reiterate, the point of this PA is that the knife will (hopefully) transform slowly as it goes to more and more people. So im hoping someone is feeling like making a nicer handle;)
I have stamped the blade with NFS, NOT FOR SALE, just to be sure. The knife is 100% functional, just not up to standards for sales.
Its going to the first person asap!

edit: the handle is just hot glued on btw, so to take it off you can just heat it up.
