Its that time again!

Spring is right around the corner so I have been swamped at work. I will not be listing any knives for a little while so I can do some spring things around the house and in the shop. Im getting my new grinder next week and will be running a separate panel to the shop so I can plug up many more tools. One of my sheath makers also stopped making sheaths so I found another guy. We are working on a couple of designs that will work well. He lives in Portugal so its not as quick as usual. He has a different style which I really like and is an avid outdoorsman so Im excited to see what he will come up with. I will however be making knives in between chores. My goal is to finish up the orders I have by next week and work the rest of the steel I have. It should be 15 or 20 knives. So, when I get some sheaths I will already have the knives ready to go. I have a busy May planned with the Becker gathering and Bladeshow so I at least want to have some knives to take with me. I also will be making one of all my patterns for myself so I can have something to use on some backpacking/camping trips I have planned this summer. There will be some new things turned out of the shop, scandi grinds, new patterns, and satin blades to name a few. Ive also bought a ton of new wood and burlap micarta for future knives. Ill still be around, just busy! Thanks to everyone for making this a great hobby! Oh, I will be getting some hats made before May, Dogwood Dan is getting me his merch contact so I will update when I get the final images.
