Which knife have you sold the most of?
What’s your personal favourite to make and also carry?
And a strange question, if you have a successful expansion at what point do you change from a hosted knife maker to a manufacturer on bf?

Most sold: Field Knife
To make: I love making all of them at first but get tired of making a pattern after a while. So whichever is still new and hasn't gotten repetitive yet. Right now that's the Kephart. To carry, right now that would be my dope-as-hell UF2 prototype.
We have had a successful expansion and I think right now our sub is probably busier than most of the manufacturer's forums. I could probably get moved over there but it hasn't really been given much thought. Do you think we should?

What type of wood did you pick up? Mind showing us?
Thanks!

There was some particularly good looking desert ironwood at this show (possibly a built up backlog of material since there wasn't a show last year) so I cleaned the guy out of the best stuff for the UF pre-order. Got so much material it was difficult to move.

I also get the best stabilized Nicholas every year. There's a particular look I'm going for with my integrals and there's always a few pieces that do it for me. They had quite a bit of very good stuff this year so I stocked up for the upcoming Integral Shivs.

Unless there is an advantage I'm not aware of, then I would say don't move. I hope we can continue to consider you as a hands-on maker. Based on descriptions of your process, including sharpening, this seems to be true.
