Greetings all.

Is it too late to join this build? I'd be good with either a raffle or a winner-buy format.

I've been off-line for a long while caring for my wife after she had major reconstructive ankle/foot surgery (screws; Tommy John-like tendon transplant from calf; and more) following a nasty fall. She's somewhat mobile (still in a walking boot with crutches and scooter) with PT to follow, but more independent since the cast came off on Monday, and I finally have a bit of free time.

If I've read this right, this build is a for a BMK Woodcraft model knife with:
-a blued blade finish;
-a convex grind;

and the current vote is to determine the blade length. No votes have been held yet for guard/hilt, handle material/style, other options or sheath.

I believe that Jim's blade length vote count is accurate with "B" (4.5") holding a narrow (8-6) lead over "C" (5.5").

If the build is still "open", can I join and cast a vote for "C" (5.5")? If too late, let me know, as that's OK too. Still fun (and educational) to watch.

Bob

P.S.#1: Jim, thanks for running this build.

P.S.#2: Love the photo of the BMK ebony & ivory handled knife earlier on the thread.
