I've got a big batch of 35 knives I'm working on....kinda crazy...but I hope to be done this week! :thumbup:

So, I figured I "release" the pics ahead of time in case there's something that catches somebody's eye...;)

No need to prepay just yet...just let me know "you want it" and I'll mark it "TAKEN"....those that do prepay will be marked "SOLD" and any orders are marked "ORDER". The rest are available!! :thumbup:

Hey Dan, Looks like you have really been buzy!

Hope this one:

Nessmuk - 1095, Scandi, Natural Micarta = $95 - TAKEN

Let me know what the total is when you are done and I'll get you paid!

Thanks,
Stephen
 
What do you have, a whole shop full of elves working for you Dan? :D There's no way one guy could crank out that much stuff. ;)

All super nice. I really like that K-Boar knife, and the nessies of course, and everything else I guess!

Only had a couple hours in the shop today....


...but finished with rough-shaping! :thumbup:


Tomorrow will be fine-sanding/buffing/blasting of handles, etching the logo, deburring steel edges and sharpening! :thumbup:
 
Finished with the Dankuras and K2 Kardas.

Have a look:

(at the handles, anyway...:D )
 
I'm on a roll, guys! :thumbup:



Finished the next batch:


RSP09147.jpg



Scandi Nessmuks and Monster Nessies!






Now all they need is to be wiped down, logo etched and sharpened. :thumbup:
 
3rd batch done! :thumbup:


RSP0914.jpg



K-TUSKs, K6 Kardas & 2 Nessmuks.


Just etch-n-sharpen! :thumbup:
 
Dan,
Those all look great! I'm awfully tempted by your monster nessies. Those things are crazy! BTW, have you priced those K6's, or are they orders?
 
I'm curious about the K6 too! Are they available??? I'm assuming they are a larger K4. When are you gonna let us in on the secret???
 
You're drivin' me nut here Dan.:D I just get hints at the grinds and finish on my Nessie. That false edge grind looks very cool and the integrated guard is different than what I would have thought, just cooler.:thumbup:
 
the light is playin tricks on ya, mymindisamob....:D


no false edge....yet. want one? :p




The K6 is the K5's bigger brother. It is intended for EDC....slender blade and handle, tough steel, keen edge....should be a great utility! :thumbup:

When they're done...I'll be sure to post specs/pics. Thanks for the interest! :thumbup:
 
Can you send me a better pick of the Gyutou, French chef and the Santoku? Blade length and thickness ? Thanks.
