What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Good evening friends, my phone is almost dead so it is powered off and plugged in, so photos will have to wait a bit.

But after picking up the MagnaCut blade and creating a build sequence based on order chronology for the blades that I received, I went to the shop and got two blades well on their ways. I was originally going to spend my shop time cleaning up the ones I already have done, but that will start tomorrow along with the two knives I started today, which should be ready for cleanup with an hour or two of additional work to them.

Like the chefs. That reverse Tanto (modded Prevail?) looks pretty sweet too.

It’s a custom. Conceptualized by N negatived with some input from me here and there. This is version 3. He has two older ones in Lc200n and MagnaCut. This one is like a hybrid between those two but better than both in my opinion.

You guys did well.

I love that one and the overgrown top one (Insomniac , IIRC ? ) . Could be a real sleeper !

 

[David Mary]

Yes I plan to put it under my pillow

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Yup. That wharnie reverse tanto is slick.

Okay so sometimes sheath making feels daunting, especially seven of them, after a day of hand sanding and fiddling with ergos on knife handles and fighting with trying to make MagnaCut look good using a grinder with only one speed.

So I did not start the sheaths. Meaning there will be no postal run Friday. Instead I will do a postal run next week earlier in the week and with another knife or two on top of what I have started already.

Instead I turned my brain off and cut wood scales and am still at the shop organizing them.

Friday. Feels like a Saturday. Grinding like it’s Monday. Kephart styled custom for a gentleman in Alaska in 3/32” MagnaCut with my usual flatvex grind and a crowned spine. This one will have OD canvas micarta scales with some subtle contouring. Not quite coke bottle. Maybe Doctor Pepper.

Boom-Shaka-Langa-Rang!! Lotta sweetness in this batch. Thx for sharing the goodness!

 

[David Mary]

Thanks RokJok

I’m in love with this MagnaCut kephart with stainless tubes, OD canvas scales and crowned spine.

 

[BlindMouse2of3]

Don't love many kephart knife. I like that one a lot looks fantastic

 

[lmalterna]

Excellent job on that Kephart- enough tip definition for fine work and you brough the edge right down to the scales.

Thanks Bill!

Very excited about this one brother.

 

[David Mary]

Still a bunch of work to do here at home but I hope to get those awaiting something from this batch their completion pics and invoices within an hour or two.

That Kephart is impressive. Really good work.
