I have two other knives about ready for heat treatment, and once this blade's ready to go then it's time to pick up some liquid nitrogen! Yes, I am going to be able to do cryogenic quenching in my shop, maximizing the strength of my edges. Very exciting! I'm super keen on heat treatment and how that whole mechanism works, so much to learn.

First of all, Marc- yes. I definitely think you're nuts.LA, brother, it all looks good, and it makes me think. With your new career focus moving from the bike shop into the leather and full-time knife making, I would really like to see you get your own sub here on BF. First off, this is not because I don't love you posting here, I hope you still would. That said, you are generating so much good content that it would be fantastic for all of it to be concise and in one spot for fans of what you do and for you own brand to show what you have done already and are working toward in the future.
You have the leather work which I know first-hand is top notch. You have your sole authorship knives of you own design that you are putting out, which look great and your narratives about what goes into them are wonderfully informative. Additionally, you have so many collabs, past and present, many of which, folks may not even know about. Just to name some off the top of my head, of course there is Nathan, now Mark, Bing, Boker, Lightfoot, Wheeler, Marchand, Branson, DesRosiers, Keffeler, Mecha and others I know I am forgetting, and probably even more I don't even know about. I know you have over the years made most of that content available on BF but is all scattered in different subs or worse yet, as single posts in specific threads, making it harder to refer to later on.
Maybe you think I'm nuts, you know I love what you have going on, I'd just like to see you plant a flag and stake a claim. I think what you are doing is worthy of it, it would be beneficial to those who appreciate your content and I think it would be beneficial to the growth of your career. I am betting it would be well received across the BF Community.
