The Forge was really crowded today. Fully staffed and everyone had their hands full - no time for breaks! The pics should tell the story.
Looks like this Friday's batch will be EPIC! The new models are looking totally addictive! Must. Have. Them. All.

[moogles]

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Also, what is on the tip of each blade and what purpose does it serve?

Where's an orphan when you need one.

That mini-muk is crazy cool.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

It is used as a reminder of what grit the grind has been taken too so we don't grind the same knives twice with the same grit.

Some of those new model smaller knives look pretty interesting. I am drawn to that stubby muk

It's going to be a good Friday if any of these make the line up.

You're more romantic than I am! I've been wondering what the "v"s were for. 😱 Looks like it's time to pay some expedited shipping to get something here by Friday!
