Just a quick picture of some of the knives I've recently finished.
These are from my first run.

Congrats and good luck! A plate of S7 is quite an investment. How thick?

Just realized who you are... I'm a huge fan! You make some really nice products. Very cool to have you reply.
Thanks!


(Sorry... I've been up way too long most nights to be as sharp as normal...)

Thank you! I've always wanted to experiment with S7. Your knives look really nice and I imagine they are super-tough.

This is some of my recent testing.

The results have been encouraging.

The knife being tested in these videos (the dark one) is the Libra 12". Its not been finish ground yet as I knew it would get scuffed and a bit mangled to one degree or another, but so far I've been pleased with how strong and reliable it has tested out.
