The original Sylvan and variants were discussed in another thread, along with the possibility of a refined design being offered for 2026/2027.

Here is the offical preorder thread. If I get six preorders for the Sylvan I showed in post 59, in .136" AEB-L at 60-61 HRC, I will pull the trigger on the run.

17" Overall
Cutting edge will come out to just over 11"

Base price will be $525, including a black Boltaron taco sheath, natural wood scales from what I have in stock at the time of build (which is usually a good variety, and only getting better as time goes on), and FedEx Ground shipping within the USA (or Canada Post Expedited or XpressPost in Canada). I already committed to running the Samurai Pierre chef knife not quite enough preorders to justify it, so this one is not happening without at least six preorders.

So anyone willing to put 30% down on that and expect completion early 2027, let me know. I won't take any deposits or buy the steel and waterjet services until I have six confirmed orders. Once I do I will reach out to everyone to make it official.

Anyone interested in synthetic materials for their handle, those will be available at some additional cost, to be determined on a case by case basis near to the build date when such estimates can be made with reasonable accuracy.
 
I might be able to share this sheet with a dealer interested in a small number of his designs I’ll be making for him, which would reduce the number of preorders I need to make the Sylvan a financially viable project. If that happens I won’t have room for six of these on the sheet but I will be able to squeeze some hidden tang daggers onto it.

I’ll discuss with the dealer and depending on how that goes I’ll post here to update along with a snapshot of what will be available on the sheet.
 
We're getting close to making this a reality guys, I'm very excited. I just got off the phone with Jerry at New Jersey Steel Baron to talk about material availability for the project, and he informed me that the material they ordered that fits this project is awaiting processing and he will call me by June 5th to let me know for sure, but he sounded optimistic that by then they will have more than enough material for this order.
