I hope everyone is enjoying the slightly cooler weather, I know I am!
Here is what I have going on at the moment.
This is a photo of about 90% of my work in progress. From left to right, we have a bunch of blades ready for prepping the flats for hammer texture. I hand sand all of the flats before texturing to provide an even and consistant finish for the texturing, I spend about 10 minutes a blade on average prepping for hammer texturing, longer for the larger ones.
Far right is what I am getting ready for this Thursday!

The big boy below here I am going to refer to as Thumper until I decide what to call it. I tweaked the design a little. I opened up the finger choil in the handle to accomadate the first 2 fingers instead on one. I will be heat treating it soon and finishing it. I am probably going to beat the snot out of this one to see what is made of. Should be interesting.
The one on the bottom is a one off or Prototype havent decided yet. I will be finishing this one up in the near future as well. Both of these are experimental designs that I have yet to decide if i will reproduce. After I finish them up and play with them I will decide then if I will make more.

Thats it for now. I encourage all of you to follow my work in progress threads, You never know what I might have up my sleeve. I have some more new exciting stuff coming down the pike soon. The S35vn is just the beginning. Thanks everyone for their continued support.
Questions and comments welcome.
