I can definitely tell I'm still a little on the slow side. (already imagining all the "a little on the slow side" jokes I'm sure you guys will come up with)
Didn't hit anywhere near my normal profiling pace today and my hands were a little shakey. Got a lot of good work done today though. It was great to be back in the shop. I'm sure tomorrow will be much better. I ordered all the steel for the rest of the Blade Show batch today and hopefully I can get the current batch all finished up before it gets here. I know you guys with knives in the current batch are probably ready for them. Sorry it's taking so long. Doing my best guys.
As for people who have dibs on knives, but don't have a knife in the current batch, I'm putting all other dibs orders on hold until after Blade Show. I wish I could get another batch, in addition to the Blade batch, done before the show but it's just not possible, and I have to have knives on the table, otherwise what the hell am I spending thousands of dollars for. Of course any knives not sold at Blade will be up for grabs the second it's over to folks on the email list. I'll go through the dibs list first and see if people have dibs on matching knives done for Blade. If they do, they'll get first shot at said knife.
That's it for now. I'm tired. Nappy time.
P.S. Working in the ridiculously hot shop, profiling a batch, and doing a tempering cycle all at the same time the first day back... not fun. Doesn't exactly make you feel "all better" lol.
