The Blade Show prep and aftermath.
The weeks leading up to Blade Show have been nothing short of Chaotic! With NRA Show a few weeks back, then the annual trek to the 100th Running of the Indy 500, and then trying to get some knives done before Blade Show life has been a bit rushed.
Five knives done and more to go as No. 100 nears.
A lot of work getting done. I'm three knives away from being caught up on older orders, then it's time to start on the not so older ones. Thanks everyone for your support and keeping me busy. I am mixing in a few knives for the online store as well, along with a mess of forged items already available, so keep checking the website out. This post is mainly about knives, so let's go.
May is moving along with knives and more.
May is in full swing, lots of things are going to be a happening all month. Getting in the shop is happening more and more. The weather is still not scorching hot, but I feel that when June hits, the days will be much hotter.
Two knives on the bench, a GORuck fun fest and Indy Car!
Back it again in the new shop and trying my best to get ahead. Thanks so much for all the support! Some knives are in the works, many more than in recent weeks, so that is a great thing. Hopefully as I get some of these done I will be able to mix in some forging projects as well. No. 82, a Slicer in O1 is coming along. This B.T.K. is also moving along. First knife out of the new shop. Grinds. Every grind I learn something, although sometimes more than others. This one took a bit longer, but turned...
The hardwork begins, shop is done and knives to make!
Well, the shop has moved into the final steps towards being completed and I am back to making knives. Lots of other things happening as well, so lets get to it!
