What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

It's okay. It will be an even cooler albeit smaller knife with a much stronger handle.

Well at least it will have a new life with a better outlook

But for now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

[gooeytek]

none of those EDChefs are available, right?

 

[David Mary]

I'm afraid that's correct

 

[David Mary]

Not the speediest of Gonzaleses today but I'm moving along.

Getting close the part I'm quickest at. See if I can earn that sombrero yet

I bought a kit blank from Premium Knife Supply in 2015. It is 9Cr14MoV which is a decent budget stainless for custom knives. I dragged my feet. I started working on it in 2020 or 2021.

Between then and a few weeks ago I had gradually reground it, put a handle on and finally sheathed it.

I love that knife, but had to impose limits on my spending after the last blast this past week.

Then I chopped some brush with it.

Almost time to peel the stickers.

Had to check whether this would burn up in the sunlight.

Sometimes I forget how charming a simple pair of micarta scales can be.

Other things can be nice too.

Now that's stunning!

When you get some more thin MagnaCut, I'd be way into a slightly larger version of this.
