Since I made the change two years ago to go the Mid Tech route, I am just getting on track with my first three Brend Designs that were used to help launch the company. I like setting realistic goals and find it hard sometimes to stay on track. I have one Camp knife that should be ready in a month or two that will be a Mid Tech. It will be made from A-2 and have a 9 inch blade and will be available with different handle materials. This year I want to add a couple more smaller designs that will run in the $150.00 - $250.00 range. These pieces will be totally handmade by me in my shop and will have a satin finish. I will probably make these in small runs to see how they will be received by the public. I'll post a couple of pics later today. I will also get into folders a little bit more and will kick off my folder line with the Branton / Brend collaboration of the Merrill's Marauder's folder in which every blade will be completely handground and finished by Walter Brend. I also will be working on a Branton / Hayes folder that I have been working on for the last year. I will make some time to get these going also. After I get these two projects up and running I will start on a folder that will be of my design. So, I think that I have enough to get 2004 started and want to thank each and every one of you who have supported me and Branton Knife Company over the years.
