What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

My brass pin stock is just a bit too thick to fit in my 1/4” drilled holes in handle material.



Although it means a bit of extra work, there is an intangible joy that comes with making these.

I agree, it’s a looker!

I’ve decided to postpone my usual postal run from Friday to Tuesday. Supposed to be much colder the next few days, letting up Tuesday hence the decision. Give me a bit more time to finish these up and possibly get another one or two done as well. We’ll see if I can have another couple Skinny Fat Bowie and a Streat Beet done by then. After that it will be time to load up on 36 grit belts again. And lots of black boltaron.

3/32” AEBL batch is supposed to arrive tomorrow.

But these are almost done.

Oh and I just sent some new designs to New Jersey Steel Baron for a MagnaCut quote. I am keeping these designs a total secret this time. Neener.

I'm loving that smaller bowie (the street beat)--especially the handle--and the short sword. Looks awesome.

Upon awakening of flies,
In the shop where I make knives,
I speak to them the words
of Saruman the wise.

So you have chosen death.

A fly woke up and started buzzing around so that popped into my head is all. Wanted to share it
