What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

When we bred swine for market , had one sow named "Frou Sow " .

Quite "fancy" and highly intelligent . They are actually very clean and fastidious creatures , given the room to be .

Maybe it wasn't spelled the same . Rhymed with sow .

Did the smart little piggy go to market?

Stayed home and happily cried "weee ,weee, weee !"

Got any left? I could use a secretary.

Today, fifteen blades ground to 36, then 120 grit, all spines crowned to 220 grit, primary edge geometry established, sharpening choils cleaned up and rounded, and of course all that after I finished the ergos on those four blades left from yesterday. Dusk now so I’m heading out before the little monsters swarm.

Get you an old school Germanic woman .

But only if you want to be strictly managed !

Think Borg : You vile comply !

So flat and open . A prairie land .

In summer , my woods is dense growth , closed in . A wall of green . Hills and vales .

Only the mowed fields are open .

That's a swamp and those are bulrushes. They just haven't fluffed up yet this year.

I didn't realize it was That thin, Wow....I bet it slices

 

[SharpBits]

It slices seconds from minutes!

Hey guys!

I have enough orders that trying to initiate this conversation myself individually by DM is daunting, so:

If you have an order in and have not yet shared your handle material and color preferences, construction style and any upgrade cost caps you are willing to tolerate for something fancier and more involved, including holstex sheaths, please DM me with that as I’m setting up my post Lucky Dog May/June build schedule.

Think of it like the hunger games. The odds are in the favor of whoever gets to me sooner. Narrow it down for me. The fewer questions I have to ask the better.

If anyone misses this post and I eventually have to track you down you’ll still get your knife of course. But probably later ( ie closer to the expected completion date) than sooner.

Thanks

Here’s me wishing I could find boards of Bocote with larger cross sections so I could do crosscut scales on bigger knives.

 

[David Mary]

Oops. I just went to sharpen a drill and realized I didn’t cut that housing down far enough.

 

[David Mary]

That’s better.

 

[SharpBits]

Good thing you didn't need to drill a hole, since the bit was dull.

Huh?

 

[David Mary]

Three Bocote and 3V Prevexes and one giant Canadian belt knife with only Coleman knows what kind of stabilized wood. Stripey wood though so it must be good.

 

[SharpBits]

Huh?

Yes
