Shiv. Shiv. Shiv.

So, I’ll tell you guys my shiv story. Here’s how this worked out for me.


I’m in Washington state.

On vacation.


At dinner.

Suddenly my phone is blowing up with texts. Nate is all worked up about pricing the new shiv. I spend a bunch of time discussing the finer points with him, probably thoroughly pissing off my otherwise all-too-patient bride, and eventually he reaches what he feels is a reasonable conclusion and signs off.


Then, he IMMEDIATELY proceeds to post the goddamn preorder without telling me a goddamn thing, which of course sells out INSTANTLY.


SO.


Now.





Ask me where my goddamn shiv is.




Never mind, I’ll tell you where my goddamn shiv is.






I didn’t get one. I got F***Ked out of my goddamn shiv, after giving up MY free time to help, so YOU assholes could all get shivs.




So, that’s my shiv story.


As you may guess, I’m just THRILLED about the outcome. Hope you’re all COMPLETELY satisfied with YOUR shivs.

Ha! No worries, bud. I’m sure had I wanted one, I’d have managed to get one. All good. It’s more important to me that the folks that really really want them, get them. As a rule, being a knifemaker is sort of about wanting stuff but rarely getting it. Keeps you wanting to make knives. Which, on occasion, I do… 😉

Dude!


You make knives?
 
I am so glad that I added this third one to my preorder tally before it was too late. Nathan did say that his limited edition Antique Ebonite was special which I totally agree with. I decided to keep it more "antique" looking by requesting unbuffed and plain Ti vs the optional hues. Anyhoo, here is the one Shiv 2.0 with Mark's belt satin finish (perpendicular to the edge) with the plain edge option and A.E. scales:

Two more at a later date :)

P.S. Matt. G. knows who to call to get his Shiv and chips!

Mail call today. Two of my favorite things - dark chocolate and CPKs. This one just arrived from SwarthyGnome (Dan), and sports a sharpened tip. Thank you, Dan!

Nice Shiv! Dick Taylor makes some great dark chocolate and isn’t that far from you. I mean it would still need to be shipped. I’ve been to the place where they make it. They make some awesome drinking chocolate in the cooler months and handmade fudge pops in the warmer months. It’s worth checking out.
