Yesterday I got back on this batch after getting all the psks done and sent out.
Four ready to be marked, wrapped up and ready to get the handles on.
The hidden tang probably won't be finished this go around.
Today:
So......pretty much all I got done today was finishing the Niangua.:28:
From heat treat scale on the blade to finished blade it took a little over five hours.:56:
That's just way to much time on one knife when I've got a ten months wait list going.
So I've decided that I'll no longer offer the mirror polished bevels from here on out. Well sorta. I've got a few on order to make yet that will still have the mirrored bevels. And I do still offer it technically. I've just upped the price for the option so high that hopefully no one will want to pay it.:8:
I would just discontinue it all together but I know as sure as the world if I only announce it at the top of the quote page what will happen. Someone will order one, not read the announcement and then want to chew me out when they get their knife without a mirror polished bevel. So there you have it, a proactive approach.
