Wow! That’s a lot to take in - David Mary 2025 First Run

[SharpBits]

One of mine will be Prevalini as well, unless David convinces me to go up one size.

For those keeping score at home, David did convince me to go up one size. Still smallish, but less of a duplicate of others I have on order.

 

[David Mary]

Duplicates, however, are allowed and encouraged. Remember, two is one, and one is none, but three is fun, so get you some.

Prevalito is a very nice / handy size . Handle just perfectly fits my small side of medium, mens hand .

Serrated version is my "go to" box cutter and small slicing job knife .

Just send me one of everything ...on your long looong term credit plan !

 

[David Mary]

Does it still fit in the sheath with your orange tape DocJD ?

Or just post-date a cheque for the year 10,000.

I mean I do feel pretty healthy but let's not put the sled before the dogs!

 

[David Mary]

Unless that was a typo, and you meant "amount" instead of year, in which case, carry on.

 

[DocJD]

Yup !

Just adds a bit of grip traction .

 

[David Mary]

Excellent

 

[David Mary]

Due to material shortage, all .125" AEB-L models are being changed to Nitro-V, that means the Prevail, Midnighter Fighter, EDC Universal 1, and EDC Universal 2.

MagnaCut blades are cut

 

[David Mary]

Just got the ship notification..... Twenty one pounds of MagnaCut!

 

[David Mary]

Received my first Peters Heat Treating job tracking email regarding the MagnaCut blanks today.

 

[David Mary]

Status updated to CRYO!!!

 

[David Mary]

I've just been notified that the MagnaCut blades have been fully heat treated and tempered at Peters and are scheduled to ship out next week.

 

[David Mary]

Peters shipped my package today. Mike in shipping has been on the job only a few months, and Jen who I dealt with before has retired from the position, and it seems mine is only the second package coming to Canada from them since then! So a little slack is due for his delay. He was courteous enough to call me and explain the situation, as well as assured me that the next ones will go much smoother, now that he's been through the full process.

Image below is an artist's interpretation of the email I got from UPS today.

 

[SharpBits]

That seems like fast shipping from Pennsylvania to Ontario.

 

[David Mary]

Yeah. I've learned not to always trust their scheduled delivery date. But we'll see.

 

[David Mary]

So they are still insisting it will be here tomorrow. Ve vill zee zoon enuv.
