Hell I'd have done a larger batch than just one hundred had I known they were going to put it in a magazine

Funny you mention that today. I was poking around earlier wondering what the latest ETA on the UF's is?? Haven't had my ear to the ground lately.

A well-deserved honor, Nathan. I was clued into this article appearing in Blade by an anonymous source and had just been waiting for my copy to arrive. Really serves as a nice tribute to an evil genius!

I now realize I need ten...

I think that you "anonymous" source just tipped his hand and gave up the jig

Hey Neato we made Blade magazine.

Congrats on the well deserved press! But dang it, they weren't supposed to publish that until after I got mine!

Can I at least order mine (to be) made from wet noodle type material (to come) with some fancy handle scales, aka Unc. Matty's LE pattern?

100 UF would go in one Friday sale

I made this batch in D3V and AEBL but I did throw in one in S30V for you. Either that or it was 1018. Some kind of shit, I forget....

^^^Seems a UF in S30V would be appropriate for "Uncle Matty", complete it with an ugly handle material also, because we won't be able to see it anyway when "Uncle Matty" attempts to Photograph it

The ovens are down again and a batch of 89 HDFK and 23 BC have been parked there since September 10th. This will prevent us completing the HDFK preorder this week but the repair will be finished in another week and these knives are first in line. I went ahead and sent 66 UF today to squeeze into that batch so it looks like late November is going to be busy around here. Sent an unhardened knife to the sheath maker today too.

We can get that metallurgist guy on the general discussion to write a dissertation about it and then the gaggle to attack it. Imagine what fun we could have with mine (the LE model) made from some special sauce

BTW Nathan, did you happen to catch last night's episode of FiF? The modern metal material (steel?) guy beat out the armorer in the finale and then the blacksmith and the hoofer in the process, basically beating the winner of each discipline from their own groups. Isn't modern material the category where you ought to kinda fall into?

Is the UF blade 6" exactly? It looks longer in the pic

Perfect thank you. Do we have the price yet?

^^^You are welcome, Here is a size comparison with the HDFK

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Just did a final accounting... 80 in D3V, 25 in AEBL and one in mashed out aluminum foil for Uncle Matty
