Lots of knives being sent for sheaths today! Last night I took MM's Super Camp with slabs of Ironwood clamped on and turned it into a finished knife that is being sent - I had never finished a Super Camp in one night before but I am really trying to find ways to streamline things so I can produce more. It has really worked for the Fighters also. Both of MM's Ironwood knives, and fighters for QS and Seacowboys are going out. The fighter for CBMS is already at the Kydex maker's. I have the Retro fighter for Monkeyman but he's never responded with an address that I could send to. I am also sending a 6" Super Camp with Red Stag handles for leather - that's for Eliott if he wants it. There's several knives for High Road members, the one for Teresa and 4 going out for soldiers. Whew! I don't think I've ever finished this many at once before! I am not out of Super Camp blanks yet but I am out of Fighter blanks. I have to get stuff off to Paul Bos so I can make more! It's 105 to 110 here everyday now but I'll try and keep the production up - it feels good to get these done! Now send me money! Bundles!
Don of course always booked in.. I'm in NYC till Wed, will report in on Thurs upon arrival. Just a little too much like a termite mound here in Manhattan. Bring on Tucson... Elliott
Can't wait to hear from you man! That purple heart one is history - a disaster from the start that has been thrown across the shop and forgotten. I'll make it up to you with shiny steel.
I'll get the calculator out and get some funds headed that way ASAP. Now I'll be like a kid waiting on Christmas morning!
PP E-Check sent today!!! I won't be home for about 10 or 12 days. The first thing I'll do when I get there is check the mailbox. Well....maybe the second thing! Actually the third. The second thing I do is put my suitcase down!!!!
It won't be done by then, MM. I haven't asked the sheath guy what the backlog is but I've never waited under 4 weeks. The last bunch I really felt screwed as it took forever but he promised it wouldn't happen again. I always surmise 4-5 weeks as he has a full time job and lots of sheath orders. Strider alone orders them by the dozens. Thanks for the payment!
CBMS, your knife is back with the Kydex. Ooops, we're being monitored. "The eagle flys at midnight". taser1 Pics to follow - this brown micarta is a little different from previous pics. This block had a straight grain that stayed that way no matter what I did to it. I'll show pics and if you like it then great and if not we'll get you another one.
WOOHOO! Is there anyway I can get it by the 29th? Im heading back north then, would love to have it...
It'll go out Monday, so you should get it by the 23rd. I forgot the pics! Hopefully in another couple of weeks the leather sheaths will be done.
OK, 26 knives went to Paul Bos for heat treat today, so if you're waiting on a knife to be made it's in there. The others are still getting leather made for them. The only knives I know of to still be made are MM's Ironwood Fighter and a Fighter for Elliott. There's also 5 CPMD2 Small Skinners and 3 CPMD2 Bird & Trouts getting heat treated so if you'd like to make a matching set let me know. The B&T is the bolstered/Stag one like I made for Teresa, only without the bolster and Stag. LOL
