Hi gang! I am heading to Buffalo to be with my dad while he has surgery Thursday. I'm sorry but this was unexpected. I will answer emails that I can while I am gone, otherwise I plan to be back Monday. And I will get those K20's shipped.

Scales update 2024

Please note that unless otherwise specified these scales are Micarta. Not pictured is Wood and ECAM--They vary a lot. Blue Canvas micarta, Ebonite, and TeroTuf should not be buffed. We always buff G10 unless asked not to. Sorry I threw some Field Knife scales in there. I didn't have those in the Shiv pattern.

Nathan and I will be leaving on a cruise for our anniversary Thursday. Unfortunately earlier today, I had to let the infamous, one of a kind Sadie dog pass over the rainbow bridge. I will get back to you all late September. Thank you for your support and understanding.

I just heard from Blues. He's at a hot spot, his woods took a lot of damage but he's safe on the generator for now.

For folks waiting to hear from me, I'm tied up with some appointments today but I will try to get caught up tomorrow.

I'm sorry guys. I am out of town with a family emergency.

Yesterday my daddy lost his battle with melanoma. I was lucky to spend his last Christmas and birthday with him. Please bare with me a little bit longer and we'll get back on track.

Hi guys!

Yes, I am still behind, but I am working on it. I didnt know quite what to expect.

So, the new blue canvas micarta no longer looks like jorts (denim). Sorry Yoko! This is more of almost a blue green color. Like a teal.

As some of you have seen this week, with me back in the shop, Abigail is helping with emails. I am still overseeing her and checking what she sends, but there may be some bumps in the road. Just be patient and we will get it all worked out. Thank you!

I am answering emails and sending invoices today, but I am out of town with a family death.

BE AWARE Nathan will not message you with payment information. If it says from Nathan the Machinist it is a scam. AND we are not using PayPal no matter who contacts you.
