Announcements, things you might need to know

Me again! Here is a link to the brand new newsletter. Fingers crossed it works!

Newsletter launch

 

[Jo the Machinist]

There is a new newsletter out for September if anyone is interested.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

Just a reminder, the new Utility Fighters are starting to ship. Please contact me if you need to change your address. Thank you!

I am working on the DEK preorders. Please know that this is going to take a while. I still have about 100 emails to sort through and I plan to take some time off this week. I promise to get everyone taken care of. Thank you all!

PS If your order is more complicated, it will probably not get done until later...

Hello again!
I have attempted to reach out to anyone on the UF2 preorder who had told me they were interested in a leather sheath from Chad Pirtle. If I did not reach out to you and you would like one, please let me know.

Hello!

Yes, I owe you all a newsletter. I'm sorry.

I will be out of town tomorrow through Sunday for a double header competition in Oklahoma. I will return emails Monday.

Thanks!
Jo

We have had a death in the family. (Not one of the 4 of us) Nathan will be gone for the next few days. The next couple of weeks we will be working at limited capacity. Thank you for your understanding.

We have a human baby with the 'Rona and a fur baby with bloody diarrhea. I'm going to be really slow on my communications and our pre-order might be a way for too late. But we're working on all of it. Thank you all for your patience.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

Jo will be away until Tuesday. I am heading to Meadville for the first competition of the season. I will return messages when I get back. Thank you!

 

[Nathan the Machinist]

Also Nathan will be away for a couple days. I'm in Ohio picking up some high precision grinding equipment for our folder.

I'm going to be back in time to do the Friday sale, but if you were looking for a full write up with pictures and a video on the new SDFK, I don't think I'm going to get that done this week.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

I need to start getting a list of people who would like leather sheaths from Chad Pirtle for the DEK1/2/3 preorder.

Sheaths will be available in either Black or Medium Brown at a cost of $120. If you have already paid for a Kydex sheath it will be a $65 upcharge.

Attachments will be an additional charge and you can choose from:
Spyderco G-clip --$12
Discreet Carry Systems 3.1 mini--$12
Ulti-Clip Slim -- $12
Mummert clip -- $20

I will start trying to email folks who asked about leather when placing their pre-order, but if you would like to email me and make sure you are not forgotten, that would be helpful. Please include your preorder #.

Thank you!
Jo

Jo is on the way to Waxahachie. I'll be back Tuesday.

The DEK preorder was edited with updates today. If yours says "in process" it means at least one of your knives are ready and waiting for the others. Magnacut is not back from heat treat yet, but we are almost done with the others.

Updated scales choices
Please note, Vintage and Ebonite are not shown. I also have a blue linen on order (since November...)

Also, typically ALL G10 is buffed and ALL TeroTuf is not. Micarta is grippier not buffed, but perhaps more attractive buffed.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

We are in full on "After Blade Show mode". If you have sent me a message in the last 24 hours, you will probably not hear back until after Blade Show. Thanks!

 

[Jo the Machinist]

I am updating the website if anyone wants to tell me where I have gone wrong.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

Someone asked me recently if I had extra Basic Field Knife sheaths recently. I just got some in if anyone is still in need.
Thanks!

 

[Jo the Machinist]

Hi guys! I am going to be a little slow with correspondence. I have Covid again. I will follow up with all of you as soon as I can.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

I promised some people some emails today and I'm still going to try to get to it but Nathan and I have been working on wiring up this new scales machine all day and we're still not finished. It might not be until Monday that I get back to you.

 

[Jo the Machinist]

Jo is in Tennessee for the SMKW cut this weekend. Emails will be returned Monday.
