What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Give or take. I made about twenty of them on the MagnaCut batch… in about seventeen different sizes

Bitty Bitey Baby Birdie, small, cute, useful, and quite purdy,
James is right about this knife, you all deserve one in your life.

An orange BBBB!? If I had known I would have sent the $$ already. Love it! The other two are cool, as well!

Is this a dealer exclusive like the Zoomerang and Midirang?

 

[David Mary]

Nope the smallest and biggest ones are open to customs.

For newcomers, in order of size:

Bittyrang
Zoomerang
Midirang
Boomerang

The Zoomerang is Empire Outfitters Exclusive.

For more detail there is a thread in this sub forum about.

Thanks! That is good and bad news.

 

[David Mary]

How is it bad news?

Thanks. I didn't get enough BBBBs cut and heat treated. I only have a few left unclaimed, all in 15N20. One that is 1/8" stock, and another that is 1/4". I want to stock up on blanks of that one in AEB-L or MagnaCut.

I can wait until you have more in AEB-L or MC.

The quarter inch one would be a chonky little brute!

Well, I didn't get to the shop today, but I did organize the my build schedule and stacked all the firewood that was dropped off here over the weekend, which was supposed to be stacked for me but wasn't.....

 

[SharpBits]

Based on a question posed in the general forum and not a real request by myself, would you make a froe using MagnaCut if someone requested it?

 

[David Mary]

I could be convinced to, but I would question the choice of steel.

I didn’t think the choice of steel was appropriate either.

 

[David Mary]

Well if the boss wants to pay for it….

 

[SharpBits]

Well if the boss wants to pay for it….

I mean, it will work in the role and if they’re willing to pay for it, why not?

 

[David Mary]

It will do the job. But for the cost it won’t make it do it any better.

 

[SharpBits]

I guess I should cancel my plans for a pizza cutter in Rex-121…

 

[David Mary]

Pizza cutters should be carbon steel. Why waste all that food exposure on an expensive steel that won't regale its beholders with the epic tales of pizza past? Of course, it doesn't need to be a super carbon steel...
