New Designs, Fell Chef 2.0, Mega Fillet, Mega Boner

I’m ready for pre-order mania. It makes a lot of sense to make the bigger blades first if you feel the price of steel will increase. The Waki and Kukri are definitely on my wishlist.

Hopefully, this will motivate you to go into full time knife making. I don’t know of any other knife makers who can compete with you that can produce good value blades without sacrificing quality.

That means alot brother!
 
Im thinking about doing "pre-order mania" as soon as modeling is completed.

I'm growing very, very concerned about tariffs and inflation and the impact they could have on my ability to make big blades. Its keeping me up at night. Ill always be able to make small knives, but if the price of steel were to go up, at a certain point it would completely kill my ability to make things like swords or Kukris where you are getting only about 10 blades out of an entire sheet and need custom rolled sheets.

Now through 2026 I want to make the following models while steel is still available and affordable.
1. Bush Waki
2. Tyrant Waki
3. Tyrant Katana
4. Tyrant Kukri
5. Liberator Bolo 2.0
6. Super 8
7. Fjord hiker.

I think Im going to launch pre-orders for these all at once and just get the ball rolling on them and have them locked in at good prices. I also want to go mostly full time into knife making and need to fill out my books/ know there is enough demand if Im going to take the plunge.

I'd need a 50% deposit for the Waki's, Kukri, and Katana (to cover custom ordered steel and complex tooling) but only a $50-$100 deposit for the Super 8, Fjord Hiker, and Liberator Bolo 2.0 ( to cover tooling setup, these models can all use off the shelf sized sheets and I dont need a $20K steel order to get then in the size I need).
This is exciting!

At the same time, it’s easier for us to lie to ourselves that we’re being financially responsible when the releases are staggered 😉
 
I was just wondering whether the EDC or Fell 14 will be part of the "pre-order mania" lineup, or in a future run. Soooooo excited to see what you have in store for us!!!
I'll see if I can launch the EDC as well. Only issue... is I'm wanting to make them in 10V 🤣 I'm going to hold off on the Fell 14 for now because I think it's role is too similar to the Liberator Bolo.
When will the liberator bolo be available?

Soon. That will be one of the first blades that get finished. I've made them before and the tooling is straight forward.

Is the preorder for the Waki, Katana and Kukri still going to happen before the Liberator bolo?

I'm going to be a mad man and launch them all together as soon as we have the logistics and modeling ready! Ill leave the pre-orders open for a while to give people time to decide and get funds.

The bolo will probably get made before anything. It uses off the shelf sheets and has simple tooling.

Okay, you are really a mad man. Hahaha
Thanks for giving us time. I’ll stop buying any knives before the pre-order

I know it may be a little mad, but this is my way of getting all these models off the ground at good prices for you guys. The bolo, super 8 and fjord hiker pre orders will all be very small deposits. Its really just to give me an idea of demand and to get the capital in to pay for the tooling.
 
Yeah, that makes a lot sense. I think everyone is aware the you are capable of producing these knives, but you just need some funding to buy more tools.
I’m glad you’re not like the other maker that hardly delivered his knives and always made excuses.
