I’ll take:

Bushcraft Option # 3, 2 each; 1 GCM, 1 NCM if we have a choice on scales.

Nessmuk Option #3, 1 each; GCM

I’ll edit my handle choices when I see what you get up here, if necessary!

Thanks Dan!

I put my order on the order tracker and the check will be in the mail this evening.

jk
 
Dan, do you have some sort of a draft of the tutorial. I'm serious unskilled when it comes to machinery (much to my embarrasment). What kind of work are we talking to take an Option 3 to completion?
 
Dan, do we need to hit the order tracker?

nope....no Order Tracker this time...will be handled solely here on the forum. The first name, last initial thing is to help me figure out who paid what....:D






I made a SERIOUS ERROR in the pricing!!!!!



The pricing is WAY OFF.....if anybody needs to pull out....please feel free....yes, I will issue refunds if necessary!!!








(the $5 difference increase in price allows me to set the price of both the Nessmuk and Bushcraft at exactly the same number = less headache for me)



Make sure you're ok with this PRICE GOUGING......!!!!

Dan
 
I'll take:

one (1) Bushcraft, option #1
one (1) Nessmuk, option #1

I'll send PayPal this evening. Can't seem to get to your website from my work PC.

Now I'd better find that leather store - I'll have sheaths to make as well.

Thanks, David V.

Yes - I will be doing tutorials for all 3 options. :thumbup:


For option 3 you will need to glue everything up with 2-ton epoxy, let it cure, trim the pins and shape the handle...done!
