Impressive, glad you got that started to help get ready for the show as well. Nice work. I look forward to seeing some of these here too. 👍
Thank you, stay tuned more to come!
Wow Chris! You certainly make full use of your time on this planet. I continue to be impressed with how much quality work you knock out in a relatively short time.
It is cool to see some of your kitchen / steak knife variations advancing through the process. You have so much going on right now that it takes several viewings of this thread just to keep up.
Awesome stuff my friend. Please keep doing what you're doing. It is fun to watch.
Phil
I try too Phil, I seem to be most productive late in the afternoon and on the weekends. And it was really quiet around here last week so I tried to capitalize on the moment.
I am glad to hear you and other enjoy reading through the updates.
I hope to keep them coming, still a lot more to do over the next several weeks. Strap your boots on tight it's going to be a wild ride!
I will try and post as often as I can.
I agree, Phil. This is the most detailed and entertaining thread on bladeforums right now. I keep hoping for updates.
Chris, the texture on your blades is completely next level. Please, keep up the good work.

Thanks Mike, I am really happy everyone likes the texturing so much, I put a lot of time and work into achieving that look on each and every blade.
It has evolved over the last few years.

Can't wait to see some of your handle work on these awesome knives!
Thanks Orion,
I plan on shaping a few today, the prototypes I am still trying to figure out exactly how I am going to execute it. This is usually how it goes for the with new designs. I have a pretty clear picture in my head of want I want to achieve within certain parameters. I usually at this point try to visualize the process to the end, and then go up and work through it and adjust as I am working through the process if I see an issue arise. Seems to work pretty well for me.
If any of you still haven't checked out my instagram page, I would highly suggest it. Sometimes I post pictures of there first, and then here when I have a collection of them over several days. Instagram has a more easy to use interface for taking my phone out snapping a picture and being able to post an update or share a cool picture during a break. without having to upload to a separate hosting site, and copy and pasting you guys know the drill.
Anyway this is my attempt to draw more of you to my instagram page, you're really dont even have to have an account, just google Osprey Knife & Tool and the Instagram link will show up a couple of selections down.
My Instagram address is @ospreyknifeandtool
However if you want to like my photos or reply or get notified to postings you would need to make an account, they have a private option, and you don't need to post any pictures I have many followers with blank profiles.
I hope to see some of you guys there!
