News For 2016

[JK Knives]

There will be some changes in how I do business next year, hopefully good ones!

I will not be scheduling as many orders each month, instead I will make a certain number of knives for orders, (the number will vary depending on models), then make knives for a sale, hopefully one sale per month. What this means is if you want to order something, do it soon, I am getting close to scheduling March orders already!

I will continue to offer new designs, probably first in one of the sales, then if it gets a good response I will offer them for ordering, kind of a test marketing plan.

I will continue to offer "Special Offers", at special discounts.

I plan on bringing back some of the old models, a lot of the new guys have not seen the older designs.

Last, but not least, I will start hammering out knives! (at least until my neighbors complain about the noise!) I will not be taking orders for these, as I complete them I will post them for sale.

I plan on having fun here, I hope you will too!

I like the sound of your plan. I'm really looking forward to seeing the forged knives.

My knife related plans for 2016 involve finally getting scales on the two JK blanks I've got and trying to make a knife. I don't know how I'll do it, but I'd like to give it a go.

I'm seriously considering having a basic knife making two day class at my shop next Spring.

If I can find the free time and funds I would be interested. We broke ground on our house this week (literally broke ground, we are the proud owners of a beautiful hole in the ground), so both may be in short supply in 2016, but I would try to make it.

Of course there would be snacks! I'll put a plan together after the holidays.

Go to harbor freight and buy a magnet over 5 lbs and stick it to the side of your anvil. It makes it Significantly quieter.

I am looking forward to the new year and seeing the direction you go in!
