Glad you're okay, Josh, and thanks for reaching out. We got power back on last night, (we've been on generator).
Also got wireless back on last night as well. Now we start trying to get back to some sense of normalcy. Got a lot of trees down and several big ones leaning. Gonna take a long while to get all this stuff attended to...but grateful to have weathered the storm.

Glad to hear it! Was worried about you there for a bit.
We got power back on yesterday morning as well. Still waiting on internet but I'm able to use my phone as a hotspot for now haha.

Josh, how far out to you plan your builds? What’s on the drawing board for 2025? Any chance of designing/making a large camp knife like the Q but with a longer blade?

Hey Josh, you planning on doing some Q’s for 2025? If so what steel are you thinking?

How many here are wanting a Q? maybe I should just go ahead and plan a batch so I can get the steel ordererd

It's pretty much right at 10" OAL w/ a 4.8" blade. Was thinking probably magnacut, should be nice and tough for chopping/batonning.

Josh, would you consider Cru-Wear? (Just a thought.)

As far as I can tell Magnacut is a stainless version of cruwear/4v... the main benefit to cruwear as far as I can tell is if someone wants to DLC it (the DLC I use is too hot for magnacut)

The Cru-Wear would be tougher for rougher usage...which "may" be advantageous in a knife intended for outdoors applications. (I love both steels, and can imagine 3V or AEBL being suitable as well.)

I would really like a Q in CruWear. Was hoping you were gonna say CruWear.

I really like my Q and I’m sure you’ll sell as many as you make but personally I probably won’t get another one. I’m less of a collector and more of an accumulator that likes to use my knives or guns, even if it’s only occasionally. Because of that I only have a few duplicates, the Ember 2.5 being one of them. The Ember is different for me because I carry it practically everyday. Most of my knives get limited use when I go camping. BUT, if you made it with a larger blade…………..I would definitely would be in!How many here are wanting a Q? maybe I should just go ahead and plan a batch so I can get the steel ordererd

yeah I'm definitely interested in hearing from others who would want to get in on one which steel type they would prefer... they would run $450.
It does seem that cruwear is slightly tougher but I can't imagine it would be that noticeable and edge retention seems to be basically identical. So I guess it would depend which property was more desirable
here's a graph chart for us more visual people
