What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

I was cutting metal today. Brass and stainless steel. I had more full length pin stock left and spent the whole shift cutting and chamfering it, and organizing it. Kind of a cathartic practice before starting a big order that is going need to over a hundred pins... namely the LuckyDog....

You know, Falkor looks an awful lot like a dog, and he's a luck dragon, so it doesn't seem like a stretch to suggest that Lucky Dog Knife Co could use a Falkor named/inspired design in his line up.

Maybe the model can have a name and a nickname.... the Falkor aka Flying Lucky Dog

I always thought it ironic, that the surname of author of "Neverending Story" means "end" in German.

I'm not sure that's allowed. Isn't it a rule that nicknames have to be shorter?

After Lucky Dog tonight I stayed late for a quick and dirty R&D knife. I’ve never actually carried Osage orange before and now I get to find out what the big deal is.

 

[David Mary]

No refinements. Pure function.

I briefly knocked the scales down with 220 grit followed by soap and water wash and two applications of Howard.

So Andrew left the wood selection for some of his knives up to me. I prepped some more scale today and texted him to show him what wood I had chosen for these….

Love this guy’s clever sense of humor!



(the wood is Goncalo Alvez, also know as tiger wood)

The MagnaCut lucky dog prototypes will be getting special handles

I am really liking Magnacut.

 

[David Mary]

It is likeable. Currently all EDC fixed blade knives that I have made for myself, or for R&D (that are still in my possession) are MagnaCut.

Haha, I’d love to take full credit but I was planning on sending a goofy dancing cartoon tiger but when I typed Tiger in, Tiger Woods came up first and it all came together!

These look soooo cool David! I can’t wait to see these in person.

 

[David Mary]

What do you think I’m doing tomorrow?



Oh look over there too:

 

[David Mary]

This is going to be the best RanchDog yet!

 

[SharpBits]

What do you think I’m doing tomorrow?

Eating something, a little exercise, giving some attention to Smokey, and starting a fire in the stove. Am I close?

Chess you silly goose

Chess you silly goose

Oh! I cannot believe I left that out. It was meant to be in the list.

 

[David Mary]

Then I take back the vindictive and hurtful thing I said to you. You are a majestic swan of uncanniness.

 

[David Mary]

And most unsilly.
