I have a couple variants of the slim and a bigger one all in S35VN from Tim and have been cutting a lot of meat with the smallest of the 3. I am more impressed with that steel every day! It's by far the easiest knife steel to live with of anything I've ever used.

Just got my desert ironwood boner in the mail today - really pleased.
Tim is a superb craftsman and a pleasure to deal with - we're lucky to have him here!

There are a few of you customers in this run that have not expressed a handle material
preference yet. I will be sorting out and notifying once again those who have not responded
to this matter.
I am in the building mode and have shipped a few. Quite a few to go yet so be patient please.
Thanks
Tim

If there is still room on this year’s schedule, I would like a MI slim DP.
Just let me know.
Thanks

Super nice Cheesy! I got a pkg from Mr. Tim yesterday, a MI Slim original and his new Lite Semi Skinner.
He does Good Suff!

Getting some more out. I think I can see the light, but not sure it is the end of the tunnel.

I am anxious to hear some reports on how the new patterns perform.
The Lite Semi Skinner and Snub Nose are now in the hands of some of you.
Mannlicher reported the original Snub Nose was quite the deer unzipper.
Probably works as a edc also.
No other reports yet, so......
We may have to wait for fall seasons to get here.

I got a Snub Nose with Desert Ironwood and a 5” boning knife with Micarta scales the other day. I absolutely love the boning knife! I haven’t used the Snub Nose on anything yet other that cutting off arm hair to see how sharp it is…..it is vary sharp. They both are. The little place for your thumb on top of the “Boner” works exceptionally well and makes short work of a chicken. It and the Snob Nose should work well on deer and pigs plus I have one of his Michigan Slims. I like Tim’s knives if you can’t tell

I do not normally part with blade blanks, so hope you are able to get something constructive
done with it.

My buddy brought me a few dozen ears of corn from his in laws in Wisconsin. The Olt works great for gutting sweetcorn.  ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/nhHY8WrS/IMG-7040.jpg)

Well, I am pretty well caught up with the original requests this go around.
There are a few late requests and special customs that I need to grind, HT...... etc and I have some left over
standard pattern blanks to grind.
I do have a couple heat treated blades available also.
If you have any current interests get with me.
See first two posts at the start of this thread.
I am not sure what I will do next year. May not buy more steel and just work through the steel,
blanks and blades I have on hand.
These last two years were the busiest yet but.....
Getting older but not totally ready to stop making knives, so......
Hope to hear some more reports as hunting season gets here.
Thanks
Tim

I can’t brag on the slim enough. I really like those knives.
Tim I sent a pm or added to an old one actually about getting a boning knife to go along with the slims.
