Kinda a late night for me again due to doing some “spring cleaning” at the house before coming to the shop today. Nevertheless much better than my super late nights last half of last year!



Handle refinement day tomorrow.

Not to mention grinding those two long blades

 

[Maximumbob54]

Did a regrind on already thin knife. Now it’s bonkers thin.

These are driving me up the wall. All they want to do is warp. I’m done for now.

Sheath needs some trimming down !

 

[David Mary]

I've just been notified that the MagnaCut blades have been fully heat treated and tempered at Peters and are scheduled to ship out next week.

 

[David Mary]

Ready for the home stretch on these tomorrow.

 

[David Mary]

I know how people like to worry. So I didn’t say anything.

I banged my hand moving stuff around the house and took a little extra time off. My hands are my livelihood so not willing to risk exacerbating. But I’m fine and finally got these done and heading home now.

 

[David Mary]

Not messy. What are you talking about

 

[SharpBits]

Not messy.

Correct, not messy. That looks like the “after” photo of my office. No one needs to see the “before” photos.

I banged my hand moving stuff around

Well quit moving stuff around. There, problem solved.

I’m gonna have a coffee, then apply one more coat of tung oil each on the wakizashis. Then I have to run to the shop for a few minutes before I come back, package these up, and head into town.

I certainly expect you to be dual wielding these as you pedal into town!

 

[David Mary]

I was tempted to take a video doing the heaven and earth Sinawali drill with them. I still have two more I can do that with later if I want to.

 

[David Mary]

What was I doing at the shop for only a few minutes, you ask?
