Not much yet but I'll have more later!

I worked on a lot this week, here are some Backpackers in progress. I have two left hand grind ones on the top!

Ito for Tsuka Maki! (big bag of shoelaces for cord wraps, lol)

Acid Etched and oiled...

They will sit a day or two and everything is neutralized after the etch multiple times. The top left one is the first knife I ever made in 1095, it has sat in the shop for two years now... it will be my new shop knife. I used canola oil to harden it and while it has done great in testing I still won't sell it.

These will go in my new handmade, hand operated tumbler next!

Left Hand Grind! These still need lots of work, they go through several stages of finishing.

Why not!

I also have a drop point version coming out later on this year in a stainless steel, the Mini Legal EDC.

Framelocks!

Good eye! That's in progress CAD of the "Dream Folder," I designed it from a dream.

It has been a slow last couple of weeks with knives available but just wait, lots coming up!

Yeah, Martha and I have a new line of Shivs coming out... roughly cut rusty metal but with pastel handles.

 

[Lycosa]

Bam!! Plz put me down!!!!!!

 

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

That's just for fun but I would like to do some!

I'm making 50 more Ti Backpackers by the way. My goal is 100 this year.

 

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

I wrapped and epoxy soaked the two .25" Ti Tantos. The blue wrap was replaced with a black one.

Both knives are stripped down like a supercar, just Ti and the tsuka wrap, no under layer. Thick and quick!

I also wrapped the 5160 tanto in the above "etched knives" pic. It has a Japanese style Tsuka Maki wrap over gutted, double layered, coyote brown paracord.


Busy day here I hope you guys had a good one! Time for dinner here soon...

When Daniel says he wants one of his own knives, I take that as a very good sign.
