The NEXT SALE

[madcap_magician]

Considering that most of the people who want one have already got one now, I cannot imagine that isn't enough. Hopefully we will be able to leave the pre-order open for a normal full week this time and it won't be so bananas.

Ok, but Nathan, I have three K20s, and even though I haven't even received or touched one of them yet, I'm still asking myself if I can find another $1,800 someplace.

The last time we had a material constraint limiting my run to about 150 swords which is why I had to stop the pre-order at 100. Which was fortunate because we had significant losses and we are barely going to be able to fulfill that pre-order.

This time around we have no material constraint, so I'm going to limit it to a maximum of 300. Considering that most of the people who want one have already got one now, I cannot imagine that isn't enough. Hopefully we will be able to leave the pre-order open for a normal full week this time and it won't be so bananas.

I hope you’re right, and there are enough to go around. I also hope that with what you learned on the first run, you don’t have nearly the loss on this run. Finally, I hope you know what I said wasn’t totally serious.

In some ways, these are literally the best swords in the world. It shouldn't be easy.

I don’t know if you saw it (and I can’t recall where it was), but when a master swordsmith like Ben Tendick says these are the best swords currently being produced in the world, you’ve done something right! Congrats on that achievement!!!

We had some challenges scaling up our heat treat but we have it figured out now.

Nothing is ever easy

Thank you! The are very impressive.

You're on timeout for the duration.

I put myself on timeout for Lent, at least LOL.

Five of these tomorrow and then I think that's probably it for these.

 

[eneloop]

Yay!
Sorry, I can't tell if this is a ninja or k20.

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Is this for the coming sale?
Price?

Yes

These are imperfect rework. They're $1600. The upcoming pre-order will be $1,800.

You Evil Genius! Waste not, want not. These Ninjas are just Pimp (Perfectly imperfect).

I'd be remiss not to give Mark a huge shut out for resurrecting these Pimps!

Gosh these are so beautiful. Jo put my desert ironwood scales from the preorder on mine, and I think it is going to be the absolute forever highlight of my knife collection.

I mean. Unless there's an integral dagger.

Nathan is following in the footsteps of the Japanese masters of yore. When a wakizashi was damaged or otherwise no longer viable, they frequently cut it down to a tanto. Nothing went to waste if it could be otherwise put to use.

I learned most of what I know about these blades from Sava Damlovac, ABS Master Smith and long time collector of historic Japanese blades.

Beautiful work Nathan (and Mark).

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Yay!

NINJA!!!

 

[toker]

Is there a weight reduction on the Ninja version?

 

[Gusbuster]

Will the five swords have the burlap scales?

Is there a weight reduction on the Ninja version?

A little bit but not noticeable
