So,

We had knives until Sunday

You're welcome

The D3V sold out somewhat quickly but we have very good Magna cut (none better) and (I believe) significantly the best Cruwear in the industry and they were available to anybody who made the trip. :thumbsup:

We did sell out. Had our best show to date in that regard.

I got a really cool pirate sword

Shiver me timbers! No that is not a replica, Yes that is a real 1860 pattern USN Cutlass. YARRR! It's in good condition, it's a solid sword and I intend to cut with it.

It's a learning experience!

We won the Blade Sports men's World Cutting Championship again this year. With a record setting best score ever attained in a competition (lower is better and Ben got the first negative score in the history of the sport) and also the largest point spread at Worlds that I can remember, possibly also a record. He crushed it. Like, really really crushed it. Second, third and fourth were pretty close to each other, but the gap between them and Ben was an actual order of magnitude larger spread.


Jo took second in women's, Sue took third, and a delightful new women's competitor that we've been working with, Bridget, won it. We are all very proud of her.


Truly a remarkable competition, we had a lot of really outstanding performances, the level of competition was the best I've ever seen and this was the best race in anyone's recent memory. Even the weather was nice.

I've consumed more monster energy drinks and Red Bull in one weekend than I normally do in a year. Mark and I really wore ourselves out getting ready for the show this year and also dealing with production being down in the shop because our primary automatic grinder went down. I'm coming off the tail end of several weeks of long days, long weeks and late nights, Blade show was just the cherry on top. But I'm going to decompress for a day or two.

Driving in Atlanta gave me full blown AIDS.

Truly a phenomenal Blade show this year, thanks to all of y'all you were able to come out, the new folks I was able to meet and old friends I was able to catch up with, I really appreciate all of you.

P.s. if you're going out to dinner at the same time the baseball game gets out, don't head towards the stadium.
 
Today I worked absolutely great, and even got a solid workout in — walked a ton of steps too. Timmy, keep up!🫡


I ended up with something like 19,000 steps.


Right now I’m drinking tea and thinking about going back in time before bed.


This is actually one of my favorite topics.


Like, could you choose to live your current life all over again, with exactly the same sensations, feelings, joys, boredom, happiness, and unhappiness


It’s awesome. I absolutely adore this idea.

“What if one day or night a demon were to steal into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: ‘This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life must return to you — all in the same succession and sequence — even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned over again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!’

Congrats on a successful Blade Show to the whole CPK team!!

Glad it was a great weekend for everyone, and happy (not surprised) about the team showing out at the competition, especially if it was that competitive! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

……..Sorry about your AIDS, Nathan…. I hear they’ve come along way with treatment! ☺️
