I was able to finish three of them last week. Made a little progress on the shop and also found time to enjoy myself a bit. Fall is here, so being in the shop is bearable but with the weather how it is... I don't want to be. It's Deer season!
Here is the blank for an OGK pre-grinds.

Here we are at post grinds to 220 grit, I think. I opted for a more subtle swedge on this one. D2 is a great steel, even though it is tough and eats belts. I am really digging working with it. More knives will be made of it in the future.

Shortened and a lanyard hole added to the traditional bottle openers I forge. I am working on another order of these, but will be adding some to the online store as well in the next week.

I managed to get these done in one setting. Two firepit cookers and the opener.

I love my Wilmont. The LB-1000 grinder is a great machine. I'll upgrade to a TAG at some point, but this thing is great.

The fire pit is getting a lot of use this fall already! My son with his Bradshaw making wood chips.

Excellent hike, expect the the fact it's all up hill on the way out. Taxes the legs for sure, but worth it.

Got my bow restrung and tuned, now it feels all funky. I am not a fan of the G5 peep I had installed. First set of arrows at 40yds. More practice is needed here. Not like I ahve a place to hunt this year, but gotta stay sharp.

Sheath haven't been my most favorite thing to do, but I feel like I am getting a lot better at them. More consistent and the knives fit better. I definitely prefer Boltaron over Kydex.
