Looks like I built enough extra blades in this batch to meet all requests (unless I missed someone).
Hard to second guess the late comers, but sometimes it all comes together.
I would expect deliveries of this build to be in Sept and Oct.
I do not expect to do another batch in this calendar year. Maybe next spring. I will still have some blanks and some sheet stock left for that if and when.
Thanks Tim

Do you foresee a spare Michigan slim?

Just hit a 3 week or so interruption in working on this batch.
Keep the faith, we will get going again. Just a little delay at hand. Thanks Tim

OK, I am about to start working on final grinds on the blades.
I will be getting with those who I do not have a final fix on handle material so I can get ordered what I do not have on hand. Thanks Tim

That Michigan Slim with a dropped point looks like a very useful design.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I love it. I seem to get back in line as soon as he finishes them. That pattern gets used at least weekly in the kitchen and I liked it on the few deer I used it on this summer. I can’t say enough good things about them.

Yes, I do and damned that is a big blade. I do not plan on doing any more large blades after this batch.

LOL More than likely, it will be the last blade I ever commission you to craft for me, Tim. Make it a great one, Brother......it will have to last me the rest of my life!!! Frog----OUT!
