Yo!

Pics soon, I have a few knives almost ready to go out this week. :D

My shop is total mayhem, I have quite a few things to get going... mill, disc sander, larger KMG workrest, two forges, blown forge burner, anvil related stuff, jewelry making gear, micarta making and much more! ...once everything is in place it will be on with the folders! I can barely walk around in there...

I'm going to continue to dabble with the jewelry, metalworking and blacksmithing, it is a lot of fun. I just got 12 feet of Copper in and I am going to use Sterling Silver as well. I'm going to cast some metal even... most likely one off pieces in Tufa stone molds I will carve. All of this will be incorporated into new school knives as well! This is all part of my plan...

This week - Kydex for a Ti Tanto, Two Backpackers, 2 Motivators (one will be available)... these are almost ready to go! I also have two damascus minidashis completed (will likely do a run later with leather watch pocket sheaths) Two veggie peelers are almost there also! Most of these knives have been in progress for a while and really need to get finished up.

After that - Mega RF2, 2 double ground Kwaikens and 2 double ground in a new design to complete... 3 friction folders on the way

Kwaiken Folders, maybe a RF2 rigging knife, z-fiNit dive knife... all in the future plans!

I'm also going to make more copper bracelets soon and if I was taking orders would be backlogged for a while... I did not expect this and it is pretty cool! I also forged a steel bracelet while curing my forge... used a pick axe as a makeshift horn and it surprisingly worked nicely! I need to get pics...

Hi Rolf! That's cool on the parcel, Kevin is killing it! I was lucky enough to handle a bunch of his knives and talk about cool... great deigns for concealed carry or doing lots of slicing/EDC.

It has been raining or snowing a lot here... if I get an evening that is dry I'm making a forge video! We hit Silverton yesterday and cruised by some 6 foot snow banks... checked out some of the old mines and buildings.


Hey Sloth! What's up!

I'm hoping to complete it today or possibly tomorrow. I'm about 80% done, just need to complete the sheath and do the final blade finish. Just let me know and it is yours. It ha a rounded pommel and traditional swedge with a saber height grind.

The brand new garmin sport cam that came out this month looks very good.. But I already have a gopro 3 black edition and won't be upgrading for sometime..

If I didn't have either, I'd possibly go with VIRB elite. Sounds more user friendly and has more mounting options.

As a company, I wouldn't invest in either unless you play options or keep size small. Garmin kind of died with smart phones... Their action cameras have a chance of life, but with the action camera space being so competitive, I would look else where...

PICS!

Day hike!

Liam, I hear ya on that! I think any of these mid priced "professional" quality drones are all good :)

Now if they could make them silent! Blue Thunder style! :D

Night girls! :D :E

Cool pic!



Xander that sounds excellent!


Go Pro - I am still going to get some sort of camera for videos, my Nikon is great for pics but not for videos and especially grinding/dirty footage.

I really want to get back into the videos... my youtube account is finally letting me sign in from this computer which is good. ...gotta figure out this HD stuff though, my latest video took 8 hours over two days to upload. (and I'm still working on part two!) My first fiberpres vid was not very good, I have a much better one on the way!


Lots of pics this week - look out soon!
 
I will take it. :) Just let me know how to proceed.

Rolf, I hope it is a pair of those split toe ninja shoes that Shiva Ki used to practice his ninja pole climbing technique.
Howdy, Wilson.

I just sent you an email, it's yours! :)

Didn't get the email and I just realized that I never updated my email address in my user profile when I changed it about a year ago.
I sent you an email from my current address earlier today so if you could reply to that I'd appreciate it.
Sorry about that.
 
Kev, I had a blast, I took a couple pics but didn't have much downtime as when I wasn't shooting I was spotting for my partner (my dad) or resetting targets.

Kind of hard to see, but they were far away! The rams were at 549 yards (500 meters).

Wow! I have done a lot of shooting at 50 feet and thought that was pretty far! Good stuff Xander!

Kevin - I'm still saving up for some of those split toe boots and a set of claw hands. :D

Quick break here then back to work!
 
Cool!
Ah... Ninja memories!
My Red edc Wilder is up in the Custom Knives Forum. :)
Hi DFerz!
 
You guys and the snow, it's awesome here sunny and 70 :) now tomorrow we could have a tornado, hail snow or rain but sometimes it's nice in Missouri
 
Rolf, I can't wait to sneak up on some icy windshield! I really like the fact that the very first instruction is " Insert your middle finger in the hole" :D
X, that picture sucks! Haha
D, Shiva Ki didn't need any stinkin' foot spikes or hand claws! :p
 
It is a very awesome range. They have held world championships there. My gunsmith (who does what I don't want to or can't do, lol, as I do nearly all my own work) has set world records there on the 1K range. It's a fully features complex, action pistol, cowboy pistol, field target clays, trap, skeet, silhouette, pistol silhouette, 1000 yard, 7 yard, and everything in between. Folsom Shooting Center. I'm seriously considering joining as a member there, but the nearby range (20 minutes vs 70 miles) has up to 200 yards and is much more convenient.

lol! Kevin! I hope you like it! If not, pass it along!
Will you show these dinks a pic?
