So awesome! You will probably get yours first since you won't have to wait on a sheath, I'll send as soon as the laser work is done

Thank you

You say when

I’m ready
But seriously no rush on my end , I’m not going anywhere

Alright, worked on the blades a bit today! Here they are blasted and ready for etching... The one there on top has already been etched. Then I'll buff most of that off which will leave a really nice durable finish for use!

Edit: actually here you go, you can see the finish on the flats here in this Pic!

Really easy to see the finished product, but it a little chilly without pants.

Nice finish on the flats.

Got the first one finished up! Working on a video...

Looks great Josh!

Congrates Josh, looks pretty sticking out of the tree, but will it cut?

So true hahaha

Well now that you mention it... Yes it does! Got through this 3-4" season oak log in about 3 min! Would still slice catalog paper after... (will be in upcoming video) Really happy with the handle too!

duramax · Mar 26, 2020

Really looks great !!!!

Well... here's the video, or at least some of it, that I promised

Dogdrawz ! I had to extend the completion date to May instead of April

I'm trying to get through grinding these so I can get them out.

Hopefully some of you guys that are in quarantine will be entertained

* resolution will get better after it's done processing, I just uploaded so that's why it's a little blurry

Dogdrawz · Mar 27, 2020

Call me entertained!

Excellent Josh!
Good to put a face to the name and see where all of my regrinds were performed.

Ok. Want.

Nice job on the video Josh. :thumbsup:

I'm clueless how you can freehand such clean grind lines.

Really nice work. Cool workshop, too.

... and keep doing it over and over

Pretty amazing huh? Witness the trained professional with some magic mixed in :thumbsup:

Very

Josh.

The hardest part of this thing to resist is...you won’t have to send it in for a regrind! Kind of a cruel marketing ploy if you ask me. Lolz
