What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Decided the handle was incorrect on the semi sumo jitsu and added scallops for the pinky and a little vertical ribbing for grip.

This model doesn’t exactly have a name though I was calling the blanks my ultralight neckers …. When they were in .06” and .09” stock. This quarter incher, on the other hand. Well I have no idea what this knife is for but I believe it has a destiny to fulfill in the hands of someone who will know just what to do with it. Where are you someone?

This is the wood that you talked me out of on my Prevail (Spalted Tamarind?)

Can you save some for me on my next knife rehandle? (The Kagitsume)

 

[David Mary]

You're looking at what's left of it, aside from bits only big enough for inlays.

DocJekl I have more stabilized wood coming. Interesting pieces I can do neat things with. Don't worry.

Is this one for sale?

 

[David Mary]

Good morning DocJekl . I sent a message to your Discord.

It looks like this wood WILL be on my next knife - this one!

 

[David Mary]

The Doc pounces like a jag-you-are. Knife didn't stand a chance.

 

[David Mary]

And now my new box of materials has arrived, to reup the liners and pins, so it's time to get them over to the shop and see what knife begins.

 

[David Mary]

Did I mention there was orange canvas and red linen Micarta in the box?

 

[David Mary]

And everybody and their brother seems to like black liners, so….

 

[Quiet]

Man, I can't wait to get home and hit up my mailbox, it's going to be a good Monday.

 

[David Mary]

Turning out to be a slow Picasso kinda day.

 

[David Mary]

That doesn’t tell you much does it? What I mean is I’m making scales, for orders and for the future.

 

[David Mary]

You are crazy prolific, or at least it seems that way

Here’s what happens. Okay. This is a left over off cut of Suretouch, shape determined by random necessity from cutting scales out for orders.

But does anyone really think I’m going to leave this interesting Tanto unmade?

 

[David Mary]

Measurements taken: zero.
Cuts made: I lost count.

 

[David Mary]

What? There’s no way this could amount to anything. Bunch of misshapen parts all different sizes….

 

[David Mary]

But I’ve been wrong before…

 

[David Mary]

No shop time today, as I was in receiving mode at the house, including some new materials for the shop. Had some organizing to do at home as well.

Finally got this drawn up in the CAD program. It is the Shranto, and I want one.
