Enjoy!




S7 all around! S7 steel is one if my favorites and the toughest blade steel I know of. These handles are only roughed out.

By the way, these are all sprayed down with white grease.






Tantos in super slicey 1/16" A2 steel! Handles also only roughed out...







I'll be back on these soon!

They look great Daniel! Any chance the leftmost one of the S7s is available? Best Jim
 
The shop!










Grinders after cleaning! Yeah... that bucket is nasty! I added more soap in effort to sink the micarta dust and realized it is full to the very top. I better change that! lol






That's the shop!

Much appreciated!

The left one is available, I call it the Field Bowie. ...hand rubbed .125" steel and green canvas micarta. Let me know if I can help out.

I'll have 3-4 available from this group... if I recall correctly the Field Bowie, 2nd Hunter Prototype (far back) and maybe a tanto and recurve are available.
 
Great stuff, Daniel. Feels like awhile since we had so many pics.

What do you do with all the grinder dust? My bucket's NOWHERE as full as that and it's a wonder at the back of my mind!

Framelockssss!!!!

Thanks!

Grinder dust - put a lid on the bucket and drop the metal off at a nearby scrap yard. Keep the bucket though! It is not worth any money but that is better than just tossing it.

I have some thick blades to grind soon, .36" all the way up to an insane .500" piece! Those will probably fill up a new bucket, I estimated the .500" piece at 8 pounds before grinding.
 
thick knives soon! hmmm me hopes..

A2 tantos... better give the run down.. sheath types??? Are any up for grabs?

time to eats! hope all is well at the homestead!

Oh and you better keep an eye on the squirrels, his photos are getting good!

I'll have to send you details on that big one... :D

There may be one A2 tanto available in Ironwood with red liners. I need to doublecheck my notes...

I'm watching out for squirrels... I do have some guarding the shop.

Hey Daniel, it's been a while! Is that a barrel blaster in your shop? How are you liking it?

Hey good to see you by here. :D

It is a barrel blaster, I like it. 10 scfm seems to run it pretty well but I need more dust collection/bigger shop vac. The blaster is nice and solid, it siphons and works well. I don;t think it leaks but I have managed to get dust everywhere! :D

I'm running gqrnet and it just keeps getting better. The ceramic nozzles are the way to go over steel.
 
Figure on that ironwood is nuts. So excited to finally own one of your pieces!

I'm really happy to see the Ironwood turning out to be so nice, the figure is getting better as I grind!

I can't wait for you to have one! These tantos are cool... very light and fast in the hand for their size.
 
Awesome stuff Daniel. Is that the old compressor still in the shop? Did they leave it? Are you gonna make a smoker out of it? Do I still have 17 more questions to go? :D

Yeah I noticed the figure changed a lot from when they were untouched slabs. Amazing stuff!

What's the overall on mine? I like how it's slightly bigger than the rest!

Thanks Kevin! It is the old one, they are supposed to come pick it up but I'll see! :D if they don't I might get a HF compressor pump/5hp motor and soup it up!

Smoker... dude I'm checking Craiglist for tanks and stuff, I want to make a two stage smoker for BBQ!

The figure just keeps getting better and the liners really set it off. I have to measure them, the pic makes them appear to vary more than they probably do.
 
FBC I was just looking at your site and you are knocking it out of the park! Nice work!

Guys, I had the opportunity to handle the Slim Jens in Carbidized Ti and they are awesome. The pics are looking good! light weight, heavy performers
