What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

Perhaps, I'm not really familiar with it. That bottom one in the middle is a one-off fixed blade interpretation of a Kershaw I'm doing by request for a repeat customer. I've been mulling over what to do with the rest of the sheet.

Not sure, it's out of my wheelhouse.
 
I was going to take another crack at no sheath and I make by request of whoever buys it in the exchange but the votes in my poll leave me thinking that making a sheath at the same time and offering both together up front is the better option. Saves complications at least.

So I have two started for the current knives.

And I have been further modifying those lc200n blades that were given to me. They had pin holes way too far back if I wanted the scales to cover the guard, which I do. So I ground them with the angle grinder. I know it’s ugly. But it will be underneath the scales. Pretty much the only way I can do it with my current shop. After I finish them you’d never know … unless I use Jade G10. Definitely not on these!

Note: if you ever try this you have to go slow. Let it build up only so much heat then take it out of the vise but don’t dunk it. You’ll snap the handle in half. I know, I’ve done it. Best bet is to wet your fingertips and tap the heated area briefly until successive taps no longer hiss and throw steam. Then when you can handle the blade, dunk it, clamp it back in the vise and keep cutting and repeat. Then I round the ends with a diamond bit in the dremel.

Yes I have a ghetto shop and ghetto processes. I own it. I do more with less and I’m okay with it.
