Howdy all,
Longtime lurker and beneficiary of the gazillion pearls of wisdom that so freely roll about in this forum.
For a long time I've wanted to be a part of the knowledge exchange, but have just gotten to a place business-wise where I felt like I could actually come out and join the fun.
First off, I hope everyone that frequents this forum fully appreciates the amazing blend of knowledge, compromise and expertise that resides herein.
Having decided to take the plunge into the full-time knife making arena last year, I've spent a great deal of time trying to figure out where to make our online "home-away-from- home", so to speak.
While there are several decent forums available, BladeForums.com was the only venue that I felt truly "at home" both in philosophy and content. I was simply amazed by the number of "knife forums" that are vehemently opposed to the concept of someone actually deploying a cutting tool in a critical situation. Color me naive, but I was truly astounded! More on this at a later date...
Anyway, before I lose more interest than I already have, I'll cut to the chase.
After many a late night and the excellent photography my wife Kelley has lent the effort, we've finally produced a website we're proud enough to
publish. I invite you to check us out by pointing your browsers to www.LifeBlade.net
We also just completed a project near and dear to our heart. It's a graduation present for a SF Operator who is getting his tab this month, and thanks to Ernie Grospitch's help, we were able to make it extra special. So all that said, we're focusing all our attention on our next phase of production: the LifeBlade.
I think we've come up with a pretty efficient design, but since that's ultimately determined by our end user's feedback, we eagerly await said feedback! We'll be sending 15 units, along with a few custom orders, out to heat treat with Farner at BOS HT next week, so we'll have 15 units ready for evaluation within the next couple of weeks. I'll keep anyone interested posted on the progress.
Since this has become far more long winded than I ever intended I'll wrap this up and say that we look so very forward to the friendships and acquaintances that I'm certain we willl form here at BladeForums.com along with any help we might lend.
Be prepared and stay safe!
