There's some great knives in there Andy.

The big chopper with the black/gray handle. Some of the green canvas micarta handled ones and one with a double edge that I like.

What's the little flashlight in the last picture?

Lord Have Mercy. What are you trying to do? Run all the other knifemakers out of there?

WOW! ^ 5

 

[panhuyzen]

When will you be taking orders? Please p.m. Thanks.

 

[KFU]

Man your handles are kick a$$! I have been trying to come up with a good Nessmuck design and after looking at that curly one...I might not even try!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fiddleback]

My first knives were Nessmuks. LOL. Probably made over 100 of them. Thanks.

Guys, its not likely that I'll ever take orders again for several reasons.

1. I am not good at it. Seriously, I loose customers taking orders.
2. I have twice or more the overhead (time) in an ordered knife than one I make on a whim.
3. An ordered knife is delivered at next year's skill level and this year's price.
4. Accepting an order quenches a consumer's demand immediately.
5. It takes longer to collect $ on an ordered knife than one I simply make and sell at BF.

Taking orders basically came down to a business decision. Did I want to stay as a full time knifemaker, or go back to engineering? (No contest - I am a knifemaker.) It really was a literal decision. Orders were killing my business.
