What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Lucky Dog assembly continued today.

 

[David Mary]

I'm pleased to report that there are now 18 fully functioning Lucky Dog knives in the shop. Tomorrow they are going to be moving past uglyish duckling stage, and I will share a photo then.

 

[David Mary]

I told Andrew roughly how many knives I’d made since going full time, and admitted that I’m basically still a baby in the industry. I included a baby emoji in my text message. He agreed, so I said “goo goo ga ga” jokingly.

Then this happened. I am probably traumatized.



Sorry but I had to throw you under the bus on this one Lucky Dog Knife Co !

And guys the baby he sent is not a static image. The monstrosity flails about like it’s trying to tear my eyes out.

Hahaha I’m glad you enjoyed that but sorry for all the trauma. I hope you were able to sleep.

He may never sleep again!

Time for a coffee break and assess whether I come back to work tonight or call it for the day.

 

[David Mary]

Coffee break is over which includes three runs up the hill. It took five attempts to get a pic with the sweat actually in mid drip. Why? I really don’t know, actually. Personal challenge, I guess. I like those.

 

[David Mary]

As most of you know, I don't usually make sharpening choils on my knives, but these ones have some very subtle rounding going on at the heel so they don't snag material. Tested each one on cardboard to ensure the heels slid off the material to allow the edge to make contact and start cutting.

So a proper sharpening choil.

 

[David Mary]

Certainly one I'd prefer over a pointy heel.

[David Mary]

Nicely done JB. That's how it looked in real time. Trying to flick that drop off my nose.

Shoot, these look even better than I expected. Wow. There are some cool handle options there.

What kind of sheaths are you planning for these?

 

[David Mary]

Molded sheaths.

What kind of sheaths are you planning for these?

To add on what David said, these will also come setup for pocket carry with a Discreet Carry Concepts Mod 2.2 clip. Here is a not-so-good photo of the clip on my DMC Fried Liver Attack. It's a nice small clip with great retention that won't rip your pants like a UltiClip can.

 

[David Mary]

I’m almost done. Looking like Friday ship date for real

 

[David Mary]

Sheath material with the knife that gets it.
