In the last few days I have gotten in a lot of great shop time and have tons of grinding done! I just walked in the house but I will have some pics here or in the S7 thread tomorrow.
As a lot of you know I am a full time knifemaker and knifemaking is 100% of what supports my family. Luckily everybody is doing great here and I have been upgrading the shop a fair bit lately. I just got in a new dust collection system, it was getting bad in there! I also have a new granite surfacing plate and am making more upgrades towards better knives and ultimately a liner lock folder.
The liner lock is coming soon and I got in more design time today, I bet I have 100+ hours in the design alone. Thanks for the great feedback! Everything is coming along as planned but a bit slower than I want! I should have the prototype out very soon and then I will get into full production.
I also have more upcoming knives than I can speak of! Most are orders but I will have a few available as well. I have a new one coming up in Ti, check out my avatar for the design.
I will be going back home for Christmas this year. It will be the first time back home in a long time; eight years. I had to take advantage of the chance as I rarely get to see my family. This will delay the folder by a week but I'll be back fresh to work on it.
My shop inspection is nearly over with and all the work on my side is hopefully done! It is a big relief and was a big expense so I am glad to have it over with, I can also get in more shop time now with full concentration!
Right now I'm knocking out the orders and will continue to do so for a while but have big plans! The DFK Frame Lock is coming out soon and it is going to be a big part of Fairly knives for now on. I am getting all my gear for folders; it is costing me more than it cost to originally get set up for knifemaking but will be worth it forever! The WAR line is also coming with a few new designs and the rugged DFK style!
Thanks everyone for all the support and have a great week!
