I should have them ready by the end of the week!

They are virtually weightless and handy to have around. The 60-61RC hard edge will stay sharp and 15n20 is very tough!

More pics soon!


Here they are just started up! They are much further along now.

Sweet! Some little ones, too!

What're those biguns to the top of the frame all about, eh?

You have one of them! :D It is a really old pic as these were sidelined for a while. The middle ones are W2 (three) and 5160 (very top ones).

I'll have these ultralight ones soon but will also have a few in Damascus and a bunch in 5160 later!
 
I was just thinking about how much I could use a thin little dashi. I'll be keeping my eye out for when these become available.
 
Those are looking great! I like the look of the smaller ones myself.
This could be the highlight of a lame week of plumbing failures,or I guess I should call them "lessons". Ah the fun of owning an older home.
Either way keep up the good work!

Ahhhh... plumbing lessons. I know the feeling! I have a crawlspace I am all too familiar with. Hopefully you are done for a while!

Thanks too, it is good to hear these could make your week go better. I'll be working hard on them to ensure they are done! These will be inexpensive too, I like to mix things up so everyone can get something.

Very nice, Daniel.
As I get older, the lighter the better.

I hear you! I handed one to my wife and she thought it was Titanium, they have a nice feel to them.

I might keep one, I use my kiridashi the most and need one for the house and the shop. It would be good in the car too, lol I should make more!
 
Thanks Daniel
Sorry about venting to you guys about my plumbing problem last night. My wife was done hearing about it and I was still a little bothered by it all. The good news is I stayed up late and got it all finished,thank god! Should be done with that for a while.
I'll be keeping my eyes out for one of these for sure.
Have a good one! I'm off to work.

I'm hoping to have them up by Thursday evening, I'll keep you guys updated here.

Hey no problem at all! Plumbing can really get tough! I'm not sure what you are doing but I found a lightweight Aluminum pipe wrench and a miners style headband light to help out a lot. I have done a bunch of fix it up work here and there is usually lots of swearing involved! :D Nice to hear it is finished too!

Have a good one!
 
I have one of these, maybe the only one in the wild from the first run of 15n20 knives. It's so light and sharp, I love it. Very handy on the bench for detail work. Might have to grab another!

Thanks and I'm glad o hear that you are enjoying it!



I'm trying hard to get these finished up today but I am not sure if I will. Mailing packages took a lot longer than I expected and I am just getting to go to the shop. They are really close though so we'll see! I bet I finish them but pics might be late.

I received a shipping notice today! Backpacker inbound, thanks Daniel.
 
I should have these up tomorrow, I just got in from sharpening them. They are sharp!

Thanks! I appreciate you being patient too, it really took us a while to get them out.

We have been working for a few days now on a new shipping system. We're trying to make it where my wife can help more so I get more shop time. I still need to make some more changes but we are getting close!

I hear young Squatchlets can be raised into fine shipping clerks, but you have to get to them IMMEDIATELY after their first birthday, or they become feral and unmanageable.

Mine may becoming feral, she is just over a year as of the 6th!
