OG LC scales were their own thing.

New LC, MC, SC, HDMC, BC, HC, and Behemother are interchangeable.
May exclude some prototypes - HC I believe.

I have a proto behemoth and can confirm the MC scales do not fit. Judging from pics vs the tang on my proto, the only thing that will fit are prototype scales.

Oh I'm sorry

It was a yes or no question...


😁?

Every year, my top priority is to make the folders

I give that about a 1 in 5 chance of happening though. I really need another horizontal so that I can have every op set up simultaneously because of the interdependencies between design choices. I need the flexibility to make complex tweaks because people's expectations for our folder are going to be different than other small makers. They've really got to work well and they have to age well, we can't half ass it and this is an area outside of my area of expertise so I anticipate a learning curve similar to developing and optimized heat treat.

This year we are going back into production of the field knives because they were more popular than we were expecting and we haven't retained any shelf stock.

We are producing EDC right now.

We are in production of the K20 Sword now, but it is the decking op on the auto grinder and we're only producing about one sheet a day. It will go on the big mill once I have enough sheet prepped to start the process although the beveling op won't start until late summer because the horizontal has to be modified for that and there are other jobs on it right now. Everything about the sword is different and it clogs up the shop so we need to put some things to bed before we switch the shop over to sword final ops. They are a different animal.

We are making the 10-inch Choppers now.

We want to do a run of kukri and some semi integral daggers.

I would like to revisit a skinner this year.
