What are those??

Fireman's breaching tool!

What a nice piece of kit to have when the Halligan bar is not at hand. Or even if it is.

Sweet.



(I am envious.)

How many firemen do you know?

If you ask my boss, he'll say that they pay me to fight fires but I'm not a fireman.

We might need to do another small production run of competition choppers

That’s what I’m saying!

 

[Tools_and_Tights]

Hey Mr. Nathan! what’s the story on why y’all don’t currently make the behemother or behemother choppers? Did y’all have a struggled experience producing them?

Thank you for your time!

Hey Nathan, is there a sale this Friday?

 

[SwarthyGnome]

Nathan, how often does your computer rendering not look like the finished product during a pre-order?

bad joke removed, instead;
Nathan, can I have one of your cnc machines?

 

[carnifex knifeworks]

Nathan the Machinist is there any rough, completely non-binding, semi-specific estimate of when we might start seeing the light medium chopper in sales?

No pressure. I'm sure there are lots of projects you're managing right now.

Can we get the Shiv pre-order started first, pretty please ?

That will be my "knife of the year", hopefully 2023.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

The shiv pre-order is in production now. Another run of basic fives are also in production now. Huge run. People won't be able to complain that they're hard to get.

After that, yeah probably the choppers. Probably won't yield product for sale until around the end of the year.

There's also the EDC.

We are running six machining centers here now and have two auto grinders so we are able to run a lot of operations in parallel so hopefully we will see both shiv and basic five ready for release at about the same time.

Fireman's breaching tools will be ready for heat treat in a couple weeks.

K20 is actually working out pretty well. The first of those will start to ship in a few months. We will start invoicing for the final payment next week.

I don't know what we're going to have for our summer sales. Our inventory is a little thin right now. I was planning on selling a bunch of Dek but we have a non-trivial amount of scrap there which reduces our options. This summer might be a little lean until the basic fives are ready this autumn

Famous last words. You want me to hold your beer?
