BAD DOG- The CR35

Are there no signatures or makers marks on these? When I die my wife won't know what the hell it is and she will throw it in the trash/goodwill pile thinking it was just some random knife I bought at a garage sale.

You could just write 'Bad Dog' on it with a Sharpie.

That should make it clear to even the most uninitiated that this is a special, high quality handcrafted blade.
 
The first 5 are hand marked (dremel) and dated under the scales, except for one . Coincidentally I’m having an etcher delivered today. I did not know beforehand where the grinds were going to fall so I couldn’t engrave on the machine. It also adds a lot of time to the program. Looking forward to etching, as I will have different templates.

Got mine back yesterday with the Al Welke sheath. Very nice sheath. For my purposes and obsessiveness the edge wasn't quite slicey enough, dragging just a bit slicing paper. I took the final bevel to 18dps on my Wicked Edge, being very careful not to scratch Mark's beautiful bevels, and to hold a perfect angle going off the tip. I managed to get it crazy sharp with a needle point. Final stropping with some 0.5 micron diamond.
"Ok, so once that one is sharp you're going to clean up?"...yes dear.

Wow, that is gonna be super slicey.
 
Happy New Year my People.
There are no plans for a preorder. I will be bringing a small batch to Blade Show, while also trickling them out between now and then. We have been setting up a new grinding laboratory/Cell on the CPK compound, and that is going to help me out quite a bit. It turns out that grinding/knife making gets harder when you get older. Strange actually. As a result we are implementing modern technologies such as climate control and lighting.

Unacceptable. That's not the way it used to be done. Sissies!
