Another installment of 'can you smell what the forge's got cookin!!??'

Cause someone asked .. all pics are taken with my Galaxy S5 phone.
I'm sure it will take even better photos .. but dude, I'm not all that smart.

First stop was upstairs in shipping/receiving to find Judy rockin out w/Metallica on her Ipod .. with the volume turned up to 11.

Judy and Ken getting yall's knives from Fiddleback Friday ready for shipping.

I got to see first hand some of the lot from last Friday .. breath taking for sure, but this tapered tang Bushcrafter in Wenge was MiNd-bLoWiNg.

Side by Side comparison of today's Super Ben knives.
For those who were wondering 'just how big is that Toothpick?' .. it's a monster and you just dont get to see them all too often.

The 'Scales table' is showing there will be some new Lava scales coming up soon.

These last few are what I believe will be some of the offerings for this week. They're pretty close to completed.

New 3 Finger Kardas

Holy cow. Love the black herringbone esquire. Would match my patch knife perfectly!
 
Burl on that Kephart looks like a match to my Bushboot. But don't worry, burl lovers, I won't get in the way on Friday. I gotta buy a new couch for the Frau this month.

Thanks Bud! I love how you capture different areas of the business on each successive Sneak Peek photo safari. I don't see any in these photos, but I hope that we see some more bright colored burlaps this week.

Phil .. I didnt spend that much time there today as I usually do and I left earlier than normal - so, sorry .. I didnt see any upcoming knives outside that one knife tray.
Watching Ken and Judy doing the marking, identifying, sorting, inventorying, labeling, and packaging in the shipping/receiving area had me realizing .. 'that's A LOT of work!'

And yes .. those 3 Finger Kardas are SCHWEEET!
 
The new lava scales... Mercy. And those matching Bocote are just plain CRAY!
Glad to see a Bison is in the works, would love to get a chance to own one.

Thanks Bud for the update.

there were no bushcrafters last Friday.... :p
 
People don't realize how much work goes into shipping that many things a week. Keeping everything sorted, what goes to who triple checking the right label goes to the right package, printing. It's a process for sure, an entire day out of my work weeks is spent doing shipping. It's a chore I'd really like to fob off onto someone else at times but I keep too much stuff in my head. From the pics it looks like they got a nice out the door sorting system set up, I need to spend some time doing that.

That kind of looks like my Hunter peeking its head in the first pic. :D I can't wait to see what those mammoth scales wind up on.

That's willic's Blue Back Camp Knife. The handles on it were super grippy .. like sandblasted or something. That thing is a BEAST!
 
I didn't think you were here long enough to accomplish this...
