What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

Dielectric grease will help on those connections for protection and contact.

Thank you for hanging in there and grinding it out for us.

I was going to say This to slow down corrosion of the connections from being outside.....or possibly a loose connection?

 

[Wild Willie]

Yup, dielectric grease is the cayenne pepper of the electrical connection world...

Bumblebee Sam is sold! I have three filet knives to handle, and two of them are already curing. One is OD Suretouch, one is burlap with double canvas Micarta liners and black canvas pins, and the third..... I have been instructed to make it red G10

How did I miss this! I guess I was too busy grinding knives myself...what's left for sale? Can't have you without a grinder...

Hey thank you for the sentiment. Please only buy if you really like them. There's one in Maker's Market fixed LC200N, two in my sub forum ring knives in 15N20 I offered previously, and one in by Individuals, Folders, a slightly upgrade Tanto XL Voyager. Literally slight, bronze washers instead of the thin nylonish whatever ones that got shredded inside.

These filets will be next when they are ready. I'll do more work on them tomorrow. Thank you for asking.




ETA: Yes, I know the white and black pieces are on the wrong side.

 

[CDHumiston]

Curious, what grinder did you order?

 

[David Mary]

I ordered an imported grinder from an American reseller who's not a BFs supporting dealer. I'll PM you the rest of the info.

I've got this funny buzzing sound in my ears...
That's a real "honey" of a knife design!
I've never been in love with wharncliffe blades; but this one looks just so right!

Bob thank you for your kind words, and it just went out the door.




And these are only in need of a photo session, and they will be up in the exchange shortly.

 

[Wild Willie]

That red g10 looks AMAZING!!!

 

[David Mary]

Thanks, it's super comfortable too!

 

[David Mary]

Good evening folks. Calling it quits in the shop here for the day. I will have to work on these some more tomorrow before they're ready to go up in the exchange, but I think the broad strokes are done. Two AEB-L and the little wharnie is 8670.

A pic from Jarod's shop. AEB-L Khukuris and Prevails, cut by leading edge fabrication, and heat treated by Jarod. Excited for these to arrive!

 

[Bob Denman]

I think I am also!!

 

[lmalterna]

Oh yes
Bill

 

[David Mary]

The Khukuris are commissions already spoken for, and most of the Prevails are spoken for too.

So far I'm liking my second kick at the can with these double Micarta liner knives. Hoping to have them ready for sale this evening.

Are all three going to be in the exchange this evening or have they been spoken for? Anyways nice work !

 

[David Mary]

Hi Martin! Finishing the sheaths now, then sharpening and a photo shoot. Not spoken for yet. Prices TBD, but I promise they will not be bargain basement prices on these ones.
