Well, since I have to hear about almost everything that goes on here anyway, I figured I would just introduce myself. I'm Pete Bruno, Aldo's unfortunate son 
. For all of you who know my pops, well, pray for me. Although I am very excited to get involved in this industry. I've taken over the website and everything else pops would like me to handle, which now looks like this:
As of this morning, all the merchant services to process credit cards, debit cards, e-checks, money orders, checks, PayPal, or even yen are set up. As time moves along, more products and categories will be added, as much as doing spreadsheets makes my eyes bleed. I will occasionally have to close the site down for a few hours to make pricing adjustments, add features, or change things.
The pictures for now are just placeholders. The deal is this: if you e-mail me a photo of a knife made with our steel, listing the type of steel and original width and thickness, those photos will be added for that item. So instead of a stock image of our 1084, if you made some gorgeous piece out of 1084 1/8x 1 1/2" stock, that will show up instead. I can add a few images per item, so don't be discouraged if there's a blade already featured. Just send the photos to theshop@njsteelbaron.com which is my e-mail address dealing with any specialty shipping, website, product, or processing issues and questions. Aldo has a new e-mail as well, thebaron@njsteelbaron.com, and of course the office itself, theoffice@njsteelbaron.com, for ordering and billing and the rest. Oh yea, if you send photos, I'll e-mail you a promo code for either a percentage off your next purchase or a dollar amount off, haven't decided that yet.
Finally, we're trying to make the site as community oriented as possible. We will eventually have a secondary site with a blog, possibly a forum, heat treating schedules, forging and grinding methods, events, and more as time goes on. Thanks for your time and I look forward to working with all of you at some point, perhaps even meeting some of you at Blade 2012 and other events.
