Hahaha! This week is going to be a GOOD week. The new website should be wrapping up this week and it is looking FANTASTIC!
Most of my GSO-4.1 handles are being milled this week and the GSO-4.1 blades are going on the bevel grinder this week. I'm having the first blades coming off the grinder next day air'd to me, for sheath templating and to get a jump on finishing. With luck, you'll see some assembled samples by this weekend and I should begin to deliver by late next week. AWESOME!!!
And just a teaser... I should probably put these on a new thread but what the hell. Meet the upcoming SURVIVE! GSO-5.1 and GSO-7/7.

Yep, the GSO-5.1 preorder will kick off this Friday. The preorder for the GSO-7/7 will kick off next Friday. The preorder for the GSO-5(no finger choil) will kick off the friday after and the preorder for the GSO-6(no finger choil) will kick off the Friday after that. I'll give it a two week break after that and then I'll be kicking off the GSO-3.5 small wilderness knife preorder.
Also, I have a slick little neck knife I want to work in there. I was just going to make it as a surprise BUT I did promise to offer a preorder discount on every new model. It is a new model, so what the hell. I'll have images of all those posted by the weekend.After all of that is rolling, I'll button up the final details and will be unveiling the first SURVIVE! folder. Bohler M-390 blade, robust Ti liners and milled canvas micarta overlay. It is going to be a pretty slick little bit of machining work.

Wow, looking forward to seeing all of these!
Most likely not. It just isn't necessary using these premium steels, adding only unwanted weight, that makes the knife feel bulky and reduces cutting efficiency. I've found that those railroad spikes usually stay home and that's the last thing I want happening with my knives. I make what I believe to be true user knives, that I want to be by your side like a best friend, for every adventure, not matter where you go. My goal with each of my designs is to make something that is as functional and useful as possible. I take every aspect of my designs in to account toward that goal. I'm not shutting you down, I've just not seen the benefit of going that thick on one of my designs. If you can show me a cutting related application where that thickness of stock would make a design more useful, I'll gladly take it in to consideration.
:glee: I'll have to order one as soon as the site will accept an order. I think the M390 is worth the $70 premium over the s30v in the other Bushcrafter knife I'm looking at, in addition to the option to remove and replace the scales. Both will be at around 60 HRC, so the M390 should outperform the s30v by a landslide!
As an aside, I tried to sign up for the newsletter, but it says there's a problem adding me to the newsletter.
WOW !!!!!! These knives look AMAZING thanks for the teaser Guy I have been checking the site every day just in case it goes online early !!!! I can't wait! I missed out last time on the gso 5.1 I'm not gonna miss the boat again !! Keep up the great work ,
Also looking forward to that folder !

Oh man, I need my tax refund! Are you sure that you don't want to space these out a little more, Guy? It is Lent afterall....

:thumbup: Here is a designer with a sound head upon his shoulders!But an application where thicker stock is a boon - splitting axe

Ooo baby. Can we get the specs for the 3.5? I've been checking your facebook page everyday for that one. Also did you get patches made yet?
Hey Guys and Girls! Well, I hope there are some girls out there. lol Here is sneak peek at the SURVIVE! Necker. I promised to kick it up a notch and I told you I had a lot to share this year. lol
I'll be rolling out the SURVIVE! GSO-3.5 details in about two weeks or less. I'm driving my Solidworks guy crazy. lol I am going to be offering a few neat little upgrades, that I will be debuting with that model.
I am also going to be moving to all domestically produced steels moving forward, so this upcoming batch of GSO-4.1's will probably be the last M-390/Elmax blades you'll see. BUT, having said that, I have some calls in to Latrobe and I believe they'll be able to supply me with domestic equivalents of those powder metals, that are every bit as good. The person I spoke with also mentioned they might be working on some other fun stuff I might be interested in. I'm excited. lol. Nothing against Crucible but I'm really aiming to maintain high performance and S35VN just isn't it, IMHO. I will continue to offer CPM-3V though. That steel is outstanding.
And yes, I do have an outdoors axe in the works. It's going to be epic. A one piece design, with fully contoured micarta handles. A true user.
