Shiv. Shiv. Shiv.

How are you all carrying your shivs?

That a double edge? I think it is. They are so clean its hard to tell. Was overwhelmed at blade and really kicked myself
For not taking/sharing close ups of the double edge as Im pretty sure there are still no half ass decent pics of em. But really, the lines are so crisp and easy on the eye, I would of bought one if I wasnt already waiting patiently on my preorder.

Also really hoping you arent holding out on showing off the vertical ntm grind. Looked over that order of yours with enthusiasm more than once 👍

No Eric, that is a slicy hollow grind which is a rare bird with acid wash. I have to ask Mark what kinda wheel he used but with the AW effect and indoor lighting it was very difficult to capture the hollow angle! Plus I think that Nathan would not allow a very concave Shiv leaving the shop because he will probably take issues with all the Sigma, ck and cpk parameters that these eggheads care about. For me a know-nothing knucklehead, it’s all about the cool sh*t ;)

ETA: I’m waiting on the preorder, one of which is the edgewise NTM satin finish. I believe that he started that as a joke hoping that the 500 bump would deter people but some of us are just brutal on him. I hope that he takes a nice vacation is July and then a nicer BD in August because come September he will have to put them pretty and talented hands of his to some sweet hand finished satin work 🤣

Well that's just even more cool!!!!

Congrats!!!!

I would've fought a midget(I'm sorry little person) for that if it was at blade!
 
Brown Santa visited today. The 2.0 is sweet! I’ll get some better shots when I get more time. But here’s a couple of quick comparison shots of dagger vs regular grind:

Congrats mb> mb> ! The double edge dagger grind looks extra wicked. Your Osage scales look awesome too with very streaky grain. I look forward to more pictures of these two. 👍
