I just peed myself.
Sooooo nice. :thumbup:
Any chance of knowing which one is mine?
If I had my pad in front of me I could tell ya. They are actually in an order.
That's a fun little tidbit that you guys might be interested in. The same knife is destined for one person from start to finish. When I scribe the steel bars, I also write each customer's name on the blade that will be theirs. From that point on, they stay in order. Even the handle scales and pins have their name written on them. At no point, do the parts get switched to a different knife or person. The only time that changes is if the knife gets messed up in some way and has to be scrapped all together, or if the person decides they don't want to purcahse right then and it goes up for sale. They even go into the heat treat oven in a certain order so that I can keep up with which one is who's.
You'll notice that these blades all have a strange blue spot in the middle that are all the same color. That's because I used photochop to block out the names so no one knows who all is getting knives. Every single one that is destined for someone has their name on it.
The only one in this picture that doesn't have a name on it, the bottom BOXL, is mine. I later wrote "personal" on the blade.
In this picture, you can see them "post heat treat" and prepped for glue up. You can clearly see the names on every blade.
Plus, if I change spots in the trays, I mark it down on my pad so I still know which is who's.
