What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

SharpBits you only saw it there because of knife shop Tetris. But here is another pic for you. Whoever gets this is going to pay a very uncompetitive price. These big blades are a ton of work for a post heat treatment grinding maker like me.

Chopper type Bowie or fight on the riverbank type Bowie?

We can be heroes, just for one day Bowie.

Thinking of starting this sheath over again.

It's a feature, not a bug

Bet the shareholders love you… until the FBI walks through the doors.

In the holster world, that would be called a slide holster.

One more step I forgot to mention yesterday was that I still needed to pointify the serrations. That’s done, and then the 120 grit finishes were brought up to coarse, then medium scotchbrite, got the blades taped for molding and boltaron cut for sheaths.

There may be a secret side project in there as well. And if there is, it’s already claimed. But I can make more like it.

Hmmmm....Wonder who that side project maybe for?

This is my first of many im getting from David. He has been super fun to work with and the information and suggestions have been incredibly helpful!
I wanted something fun and beachy/summer/80s-90s surfer vibe. Yes! Im a surfer who is currently too far from the ocean and it is slowly killing me!
David definitely nailed it! I cant wait!

David is an artist who truly cares about his customers and puts 100% of his talent into every knife and is a great guy! Super fun and nice!

David i cant thank you enough!
