Nice, we've got 3 so far.  I'll post in the "30 Day Challenges for 2024" thread and see about adding it to the list, might generate some more interest.

I would also very much like to participate in this as long as it doesn't happen at the same time as the 'monster' challenge.

Hmm… I might. It’s been a while since I’ve done a challenge, though since I carry an alox everyday, idk if it’s really a “challenge.”  I’m tentatively in.
If the trees blew down the wind and no one was around, would the alphabet song really go backwards?

This was fun last year.  Lots of neat models.

It was in August for the inaugural run. I don’t know if that was just a good month for it or because of the alliteration.

By the way, since you guys are al 'alox addicts', can anyone tell me what in the heck I've got here?? It's allegedly a +B model but it doesn't have his logo on the blade. It's the orange one, by the way... alongside a blue solo. It's got a pruning blade, two(!) main blades, a saw, and a marlinspike. What is this thing??

Are we allowed to do 2 challenges at the same time as long as they're not competing challenges?  Asking for a friend.  :D

Yes. But you are only allowed one challenge badge a month.

It is a +B model called the Castaway.

Thank you so much! I had no idea about this thing. Does anyone know why some +B models have the stamp on the blade and why others don't?

I think someone made a joke about green alox blending into the grass the way Homer blends into a hedge here:

I thought I'd committed. Guess not. But I must ask a question: does Wenger Eloxy count? (It did last year.) I have a plan for this challenge, and Wenger Eloxy comprises ten percent of it.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t?

Well, I know that Roger (+B) assembled some knives himself using parts from Vic.  Others were assembled at the Vic factory to his specs.  If I had to hazard a guess, it would be that the former have the stamp while the latter do not, but I am not certain of this.
