I’ll take one. Pm me for details and I’ll get payment out the door

Rainshadow sign me up for one as well!! Happy to support the young man! Pm me when and where to send payment.

Thanks!

Put me down for one too. No rush. I'd prefer a shorter, fatter one, but will accept whatever happens. Great to see young men working with their hands.

Very happy to put you on the list, guys! 240, slap, and Chum, you're on the list. I'll be in touch with you but it'll be awhile.

I really appreciate you guys encouraging him like this! Means a lot, and it's getting his first entrepreneurial effort off the ground in an exciting way for him. (He can afford driving now without worrying about getting gas and insurance paid for!)

Put me in the queue as well. Please PM details on payment as you have time.

Will do, loneoak, than you!

Got to thinking about this thread just now while I was on hold with NICS for almost 2 hours (Covid is great for the gun biz!) and see I might be getting close to the top of the list, woo hoo! Remember, email is the best way to get me as I haven't been on here for several weeks but I check my email several times a day: thegman1763 at gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you and awesome to see a young man becoming successful. Thanks, George

You got it George. You're right on the bubble for the next batch, but I have him for 3 weeks starting Monday, so I hope he gets 2 maybe 3 batches built. I'm pushing him!

Awesome to see the support for this young man’s efforts. Please add me to the queue, Rainshadow.

Will do, GW. Really appreciate it! (It will be awhile!)

Got Ol Mike's pmt today, seems like the mails have slowed significantly.....

Knife came while I was at my hunting lease for 5 days , nice little knife .
It's pretty sharp but i'm going to give it the Lansky 20* treatment + a stropping this evening .

Thanks Steve & Alex !!

I’ll take 2 when ready. PM incoming.

Thanks Ol Mike! I make him or his brother or myself shave with all of them, or they don't pass!

Got you on the list, Bowman.

Here's 4 more that have passed under the sneeze guard at the Post Office!

Alex comes back home for two weeks tomorrow, he'll get one or two more batches built... I hope.

Running low on phenolic micarta, but we'll look for more, and switch to hardwoods in the meantime. (Different set of skills, mounting wood scales!)

Again, all knives will be buyer approved before arranging payments, so if you wanted one thing and we show you another, then it isn't a problem. No obligations, we'll make more! This is school!


Thanks Again, to all of you who are supporting Alex in this. He's taking to it, and it's sinking in as a trade skill. Who knows what he'll end up doing, he's a football freak, and a very accomplished musician (fiddle, texas guitar, classical guitar, electric guitar, etc), and he really likes the idea of wildlife biology... But through you guys, he's also seeing the reality of bringing income through sweat and skilled hands. I genuinely appreciate it, guys. Thank You!

This was Alex's first batch with wood. He did great, didn't crack any of them out. Had really good lines and bonds and pin work... Proud Dad moment here, this is kind of a graduation! Hardwoods are tough, but not like Micarta, and he handled them like a pro!

"Wenge" hardwood makes for a really cool look on these budget blades!

I'll be presenting this pic with numbers on the sides to the guys who are next on the list, with the exception of the pen guys, because I don't want the pens waiting around, risking damage or loss... (there are kids in the house!)

My other son, David (just turned 14yo) is making the pens and letter openers. $20 each. These pictured are ordered and pre-sold, but let me know if you want him to make a pen or two for you!


Thanks guys, sit tight, I'll get to ya!

Didn’t get any completely DONE this time at Home, but he did get a BUNCH started, almost got ten done, and he’s setting up a shop at his mom’s where he can continue working... it won’t be long now!
