I Love it when...

[Lorien]

I love it when I watch my vacuum suck up all the leather dust from finishing the edges of 14 sheaths at the 2x72

 

[nmbarta]

I love it when I have time to work on knives.

 

[GmpaJim]

I love it, when my knife slices one of those spiral shards from a magazine page.
I love it, when people I show, look at me like I’m strange.

You beat me to it!

 

[N.W. Gean]

When I get a bevel just right...

Just kidding, never seen it before!

 

[Jesse Latham]

I love it when I show one of my knives made in Washington state to a fellow customer at a BnB in Arkansas and they order it from Florida.

I love it when I find a knife blade that I had been working on a while back and I'd put quite a bit of time and effort into up to the point of having it heat treated but somehow I was dissatisfied with it and didn't like how it was going but then I take a second look at it and think to myself this isn't too bad really I might as well put some handles on it and see what I think of it then. So then I go out to the shop and slap any old handle material that I have laying around on it for handles and it turns out to be one of my favorite knives I've ever made!

I love it when a chef customer from 2012 calls me up and says his knife finally needs the blade resharpened properly after daily use. Then they ask if I have two more like it he can buy for his friends.

I love it when a person finds out you make knives and asks to see one. When you show them a stunning knife you made they are most impressed and intrigued how you got your name on it.

 

[Lorien]

I love it when I forge my first blade

 

[Dimitar Popov]

I love it when after I finish the knife and the sheath, I can get all the drawings and put them in the garbage or burn them. And it's time to start a new one

Also I love it when I put oil on a wooden handle.

And I love it when I sanded the edge of the leather sheath and I just need to polish it.

 

[Alex Topfer]

I love it when people enthusiastically use my knives to make food for people they love. It gives me such warm fuzzy feelings

 

[Blankblank]

I love it when I'm able to finally get that new tool I've been wanting for a long time, but couldn't afford.

 

[eric brinkerhoff]

I love it when a customer of mine says"that's the best knife I've ever owned"(and that's happened more than once!)

 

[PEU]

I love when I sink in the oil the last knife of a large batch on a 35C/95F spring day...!

I love it when all my air filters and shop vac are clean

 

[Seedy Lot]

I love it when I am neither sweating nor freezing in knife shop.

I love it when I am neither sweating nor freezing in knife shop.

I usually start out freezing and end up sweating.....the comfort zone is short...but I love it too.

I love it when I get to buy new tools
