What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

One of the Bladeforums supporting dealers has commissioned me for a run of about thirty sub 3" hawkbill EDC knives. So instead of getting into the shop today, I spent time at home getting everything in place for the run, i.e. ordering the steel, and heat treatment, preparing the CAD files, and ordering laser cutting from Mark at Leading Edge. Looking forward to finishing those four knives tomorrow.

Wow, congrats. That's a big order. Should keep you busy.
 
Quick photo I took at work "today" (technically yesterday, since it is 12:39 am haha) after getting these done.

And before starting on these ones in 8670. All they got was a coarse grind so far.

I also started a hidden tang EDC sized bowie, and I'm will be starting on a hidden tang khukuri soon as well. All in .225" 8670.
 
Thanks Bill! That one has been set aside for a gentleman who texted me and asked for it.
 
Almost done these ones too. I started late and ended late, but the skitters were eating me alive so I decided to cut their dinner short and finish the sheaths and maker's marks Monday. Didn't take many photos today. Just spent my time working.... and yakking on the phone lol

But my ride to work is beautiful and only takes about fifteen minutes.
