Gorgous.... All around knife..... Now I got something on my wish-list!
what are the colors of the handle?

I hope you have More of this material?

 

[David Mary]

Crag the Brewer this red and black Suretouch is something I could order more of, sure. The red I get might be a brighter shade next time, though (based on the supplier's website image).

Here is one of the dagger blanks from post #224 (the one at 62 RC), tweaked for a slightly different style. Not yet sure what handle to put on it, but I am leaning toward a more traditional look, maybe some burlap and black micarta....

 

[David Mary]

With white liners. Yes.

These are almost done, and will probably hit the Maker's Market tomorrow.

Got a Tenacious S35VN, and of course modded it to suit my liking. That means straightened spine for pointier tip, crowned thumb ramp and spine for much improved comfort, reground to near zero for extreme slicing, liner material removed to reduce weight, and last but not least, pocket clip moved to the left side for secondary cargo pocket carry. The Resilience is still my primary folder, hopefully soon to be replaced with a Resilience S35VN when they drop.

This Tenacious was pretty awesome to start with. If I were forced to have one without mods, I would still be quite satisfied, but here's mine after mods:

No doubt: she's a beauty!!

Today was sheath day. A couple of new knives to be sheathed, and some old ones that never got one yet. They are all done now, but here are a couple WIP pics from earlier.

I think I'll hold another one day sale. I'll post it up in my sub forum either later tonight, or tomorrow. The sale will end tomorrow evening at 11:30 pm. I can't afford to give them away like last time, but I will nevertheless make the prices more than fair.

 

[Bob Denman]

I WILL be watching for it...

 

[David Mary]

Thank you Bob!

And the thread is now posted for anyone who wants to sub to it.

ENDED - Small One Day Sale

Offering a few pieces here at bargain prices. Sale opens when I make my next post in here, so needless to say those who are subbed to the thread will be the first to know. Sale closes 11:30 pm EST Saturday November 20.

After work last night, I went shopping. I bought food, and some shop supplies, as well as pilfering the scrap cardboard from the bin at Walmart (they told me a while back I could do so any time I want). Here's what the trip home looks like:




In case you wonder how I carried the boxes, I hung them from the handle loop of my backpack using packing tape, and they dangled alongside my left leg. In case you wondering what the boxes are for... they are to ship your knife to you in, once I resize them that is.

Anyway, just posting this here because it is shop related.

 

[Bob Denman]

It's too bad that we don't have a picture of you on the bike... with everything tied-down for the trip!

 

[David Mary]

Haha, I actually thought about trying to find a big store window I could catch the reflection in, but then I realized I just wanted to get home. It was -2° C and 11:15 pm after all.

 

[Bob Denman]

Ouch!!

 

[David Mary]

Well, it's the simple lifestyle I've chosen, so I'm okay with it.

 

[David Mary]

Not sharpened yet, but I have to go load the prepaid card to buy Canada Post services, but I wanted to get this up first.







And there was a brother.
