What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

[David Mary]

Thank you. Everything feels easier in the new shop than at the old location, now that I have it better organized.

New River Knife Works has just posted a sale which bundles an AEB-L and Suretouch Prevail with some other great knives. Check it out on his site Newriverkifeworks.com.

Posted a shop post in the photo thread. I'll let it ride.

Just a heads-up: David does not typically abide foul language, even if only implied. You might want to avoid using it in his forum. I'm not trying to chastise you, just thought you should know. Otherwise, welcome to BF. I'm glad you're taking an interest in David's work. Beware, his knives...

Preliminary planning of a 15" x 48" sheet of AEB-L. Everything you see positioned on the sheet is someone's order. Some designs pending approval still. Also the placement isn't final. This is just to ballpark how much real estate is left. If I don't get more orders before too long, I'll probably toss on some more Prevails and EDChefs, and maybe some neckers of some kind. A filet knife or two couldn't hurt either.

I see three very familiar looking shapes in there.

There are a few designs in there that some will find familiar.

Three of each Bush Brute (BBQ/food prep, edition because it is thin steel), Bushcamp and Bush Buddy - Good Knife Co.

Danny Linguini the three kitchen knife profiles you requested.

Another kitchen set for a local customer who wanted a set like Auglaize117 's set.

Three Prevails, Three EDChefs with jimping, two without, six ringed wharncliffes, an ulu, an EDC "khukuri", EDC Bowie, Skinny Fat Bowie, three pseudo sheepsfoot paring/utility/EDC knives with jimping, four of them with straight spines to the point, and last but not least, two broad bladed Barax machetes. I made some Baraxes in 3/32" 15N20 and they hit a lot harder than I was expecting, but were very light and nimble. Maybe too light, as they needed some energy to really chop for all they were worth. So with these ones, I have lifted the specs from the CAD file from my first ever waterjet run two years ago, but then increased the blade height ever so slightly by raising the spine and dropping the edge. I believe the result will be a greater bite with less effort, while still retaining great nimbleness.

And yesterday, I was going to post my shop stuff, but the board was down, so here it is today:

Received scarysamcary 's knife and the giveaway blades from CDHumiston and got them drilled.




Got a grind on the ringed tanto



Started a boning knife with a composite G10 handle:




Started prep for a ringed wharncliffe for a local customer. Just got the scales mostly cut out, and dry fit. Nothing attached permanently yet. I still need to grind the blank.

I see a single carver..what I like to call a Hudson Bay knife. thats one of my favorites ya make in the kitchen set, I'm assuming its in a kitchen set......?

It is.




And this is the whole set, for one of my local customers:



He already has a meat slicer and a filet knife, both with OD green suretouch, so this set will also be handled with the same.

The decision has been made to prototype one Prevail Wharncliffe for R&D. The point is slightly lower than that of the Prevail, and the blade is also slightly longer, at a tad over 4".

 

[Bob Denman]

David,
You had one a while back: the "Bird and Fish"(?)
Will you be making more of them?

 

[David Mary]

I think I know the knife you mean Bob. PM sent!

 

[Bob Denman]

Got it! Answer to you; is on the way...

This looks like a fun game of "Are they playing Jumanji or are they in Canada?"

Crikey, that's a big one.

that short sword at the bottom looks straight out of Tolkien!
