Finally, something I'm not jealous of I don't have credit cards, I don't have money, so I don't need it
You are doing amazing job my friend
You invent the design yourself ?

Made one for a bro. D2 blade and spring, stainless and nickel silver hardware, worm groove jigged bone covers. Tried my hand at pinching bolsters, needs more practice, but not unhappy with the results.

2.5" closed mini knife in MagnaCut and scrap stag. I had a lot of screw ups at the end, but the result is bearable.

It's got great flow and looks well executed. I love how rapidly you have raised your standards, such that this is just "bearable".

If you handled it in person, you'd see all the issues.

Measures nineteen inches overall and its blade is thirteen inches and a quarter and its pretty heavy duty ~ Super Sharp and has an edge to chop through brush with ease ~

Here are three I'm working on this weekend. Still need final sanding on the handle, sheaths and edge.

Top is S90V Clip Point EDC with a composite hjandle (LVA Carbon and Maroon Linen) with black/Ivory G10 highlights/liners, White G10 lanyard tube and medium Titanium corby.

Bottom two are based on a knife design I made for a few EOD techs while stationed at EODMU in Rota. They wanted a small, utility fixed blade that could easily cut detcord and datasheet, as well as other stuff. These are a bit more refined from the original.

S90V and Z-Max, green linen micarta with Orange G10 and natural linen liners, Orange G10 lanyard tube and Large Titanium corbys.

I am not fully operational to date. I am building a mobile shop and will begin the press on site. I should have the second drop of the Apollo forge by april.
In regards to stock removal projects, my first build was fatally run over, when I decided to get fancy and alternate sides to keep everything dead even, I got excited and laid the blade in upside down!!!!!!!!!!! I thought that I could "adjust" into a similar profile, until the blade folded on me. I was extremely fortunate and was ashamed that I did not heed grinding, 101 basics.
When the smoke cleared, I found that my platten was leaning on top and that was a perfect explanation for the sparks and marks not matching the "program" that was calibrated to Tru Tilt; I was hiting left, 1 MOA @ the muzzle! LOL!!!!
Everything got squared away and we tried billet #2. I was getting the results that I was hoping for. I got everything close enough for hand sanding. I have the tooling to precisely finish the plunges and primary bevel. Now, to get the experience.
I have considered myself a pre-apprentice in ABS. The only other apprenticeship that I have completed began with the tools and I think that I have my basic vocabulary down. I now consider myself to finally be an apprentice Bladesmith, because I am now able to produce something that requires HT.

Thanks! Since I am a part-time/hobby maker I don't have a retail website or store. I sell here on Blade forums and direct sale to guys I work with or served with. I may get more invested in Instagram, but not sure yet.

LOL!!!! She rides in a cart to and from the porch. All my tools ride carts; However, the Harig 612 has it's own Astro Van.

Spent Sunday reducing stock to scale pairs. As always ended up with some unmatched pieces. I tend to save them to see if creativity will take hold. In this case I had thin (.187) marbled carbon fiber and light grey G10. I don't use much G10 anymore, but this came to mind with a "thin blue line." Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but was thinking an auction piece for the local PD. Back the Blue!
