So it begins... Summer and the knives with it that come with it.
Summer has begun, but considering the temps here in the upstate of South Carolina, it began a few weeks ago. It has made for some sweaty days, but also some great times in the shop. Some knives are being made and items forged almost daily. Lots of cold beverages, although more water than brews, are being downed.
Two knives and a mess of pocket tools post turkey day...
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Our family took in a stray veteran who didn't have any local family to spend it with. Good times where had and I ate myself silly. Little progress on the shop, but not it is time to get back to a mess of knives and pocket tools.
Shop moving along, knives are getting done and the books are closed for a bit.
Currently I am closing the "books" for the time being. You can contact me about a model, but with the orders I have and other knives to get done the lead times are beyond what I want. I've got some knives for the online store mixed in, so till the end of the year, keep your eyes on the store for any knives that may become available. I've got just about 25-30 blanks in the tub to get done.
3 Knives and the Shop Build Continues!
Knives, three of them! The shop gets a floor, peppers and the Tall Man!
Back to knives! Lots of knives and even some forging.
The weather has finally taken a turn for the good, so the grinder is going full speed.
