Just a quick update, all of the knives have been cut out of the blank steel and profiled. I have two of the knives already rough ground and have five more to do. I literally set my grinder on fire day before yesterday... I built my own grinder and was using heavy plastic/poly caster wheels on my flat platen... Guess I hadn't greased the needle bearings in a while and next thing I knew smoke and flames everywhere.. No biggie, stopped by TSC and picked up some steel caster wheels... They seem to be working awesome so far...
While I am thinking about it, I just want to put out there that we will probably do everything like we did last year. Ask for a $5. donation for each time you would like your name to be thrown into the drawing. I encourage everyone to participate and to make donations in other Pelicans names as well. I think that since we are off to an early start this year, that we should be able to exceed last years donation amount!

Thanks Craigster! Any Pelicans that would like to donate an item to the giveaway, please PM me with what you would like to add. Last year Pelicans Reg and Joe Bob were gracious enough to donate items to the giveaway, and I encourage all that can to do so this year. Fyi, I am not narcissistic about this giveaway, my knife does not have to be the top prize... anything that would help generate more donations to the selected charity would be okay in my book...

Thanks Vash, I am already building a knife for the charity, the knife I am making for you is so that you can pass it down to your kids...
