What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Just an idea for 2026, revisiting and revising a model I made a limited number of in 2021. It didn't have a name back then. But this new name seems fitting [pic with proposed new name deleted, as yes it did have a name, it is the Ghurka Gator Swamp Khukri]. Probably won't make any without orders, so "Stay thirsty my friends."

Jumped back on this batch and got the handles sanded. All that’s left now is final satin, sheaths for five of ‘em and makers marks.

Once they’re done and shipped it will be mostly prep for the fall fair for a few weeks, followed by the next batch of lucky dog and then a batch for Empire Outfitters. And anything else that I have the materials for that has an expected completion date coming up. I think there are only a couple of those left at this point.

Oh and some serrations in the sharpened swedge of the orange one.

 

[David Mary]

Comparing the serrations. I used a smaller drum for the neck knife than I used for my EDC

 

[David Mary]

Kinda want to make another hobbit warrior knife tribute

You can see the first one I did in post #52 in this thread. I’d do it so much better now.

I'm pretty wiped. No postal run this week. I know this batch is taking longer than usual. But my wood shed is now mostly ready for another winter.

There is only so much David to go around.

Hey, where’s your hat?

I’m a man without a hat

Doesn't your toque count?

 

[David Mary]

Yes. But I took my hat off to make that post. Then I put it back on.
