Booshway with a waterjet cut handle and forged bevels! best of both worlds.

WSK, look for more of these and a WSK MAGNUM to soon be released!

PSK, is getting a tweak to the handle... probably re-named the Woods Walker

EDC.. look for a small run or two of these...

neckers and tin knives, not much change here either... more of the same

bushcrafters, probably a couple more runs of those as well

New stuff!

a run of "northern's" little knife! .. in 3/32 1095 like the original

and I want to develop a new fixed blade mid-sized model... in 5/32 1095!

also would mind working with some different steels

look for Whit's basic forged knives with traditional japanese wrapped handles!

:thumbup: see you guys around ! and Thanks! :cool:
 
exciting year it looks like!!!
looks like we are both pretty excited about the knife i've been carrying i hope others jump on board too. i took it out on an excursion this weekend and did a new short review of it (along with several other reviews that it is seen in, a new ultra-light tarp i bought and some other stuff) love that thing (and i don't think i am hiding that well.) i will fire you a message when i post the reviews (likely sunday.)

i feel there is an ommission from your year however, and i have no problem beign the guy to foot the bill (may be a few months before i can justify it though)
but i would love to see some sort of discussion on a fillet knife. get you working in stainless again, along with the kydex we both love now.
i am going to start a thread in the wss area on custom fillet knives and if anyone uses them and such to see what might pop up. keep an eye out. i "need" one.
 
Northern. G.L Drew has made a couple custom fillet knives that he sold on the makers forum in the past. I believe he used ats-34.

Which would you prefer a flexible fillet, semi-flexible, or stiff fillet. Some makers will make one but not the others

Mark You ought to make a dropped edge bushcrafter and add it to your lineup. I much prefer a dropped edge with the edge all the way back over the use of guards and choils..
 
Profiling the prototye wsk mag tonight .... handling booshways ... working kydex... laying a run of northerns knife....lol busy night

Northern if Drew can't fix you up, I will get some steel in. Are you wanting flexible?

i loooove gl drews stuff. some of his forged pieces are amazing for the price. i will one day have some of his stuff, he did a couple puukkos that were incredible to my eye.

however, mark, you're going to be my man on this one(if you're interested ofcourse it's upto and does not need to take priority.) it's a weird combo of having something great from you already and feeling a part of the growth as a maker... enjoying sharing your last work with everyone was a priviledge for me. i hope others took notice.
flexibility is not a big issue. semi flex would be great for my personal uses. 6inch blade.... not sure what else yet??? i am going to poll the crowd at WSS before i make any decisions for sure
 
Northern I'll second ya on the semi flexible choice. They hold up better and perform better on larger fish. You'll need a good impervious handle too.
 
Ok, I will talk with my local master smith as far as thickness to get semi flexibility! I will order enoung to make 6-8. I could do different blade lenghts. We to talk about handle options to.... let's start a new thread on this project...
