Thats very strange for MA!!!

Its weird for me too. I'm wearing shorts and a light sweatshirt today. Probably in the 60s here. But everyone here is bundled up like it 30 degrees. Amateurs.

It is getting more popular (vanax).
And I know more of my customers want REX 121. I currently have someone that wants a Rex 121 Nakiri.........
Only downside is I have to buy a full plate. And thats $1,500.

Looking good Colin!

If you are going to order any this coming year hit me up maybe we can go in on a sheet together and have it sent directly to my waterjet guy for cutting (esp the vanax) - I'll do the same if I am doing a batch

Finally figured out the electrical problem.

Which created another one. Lol.
I need a dedicated 120 circut for the shop.
But I managed to get the grinder fired up to full power.

Cranked out 3 blades in Vanax this afternoon. Shop still leaks unfortunately. But less than it did before. Need to buy a shop vac.

Definitely need a small shop woodstove. It was rainy and very cold today. Got really cold by the time I finished the 3rd knife.
All 3 are ground to 120 grit.
Next weekend I'll finish grind them and get handles glued.

Vanax blades are finish ground.
Handles are almost done being shaped. Has a rookie move when gluing up the RCF. But thats an easy fix.

Zwear blade has some gorgeous GL hansen Gcarta.

Blue Razzle G-Carta. This is going to be stunning when finished.

An absolute rookie mistake. Can't believe I didn't push the pins all the way in before the epoxy set.
An easy fix but seriously kicking myself. This is a "brand new knifemaker mistake"
DERP!
I'll drill it out and add new ones this weekend.
