Nose to the Grinding Belt

It's that time of year. Leaves, lime and one last mowing to take care of the lawn and button it up for the winter. We've been having some very mild weather this fall and so the grass keep growing. The oaks have finally given up most of their leaves except for a few stragglers and there were a few big piles to haul away. The good weather is nice for working in the shop as my heat is not the best and I'm dreading the days when it will start to get really cold. It isn't uncommon to see temps in the lower 50's down in the shop on the coldest days, brrrrr!

So, aside from making piles of Prybabies, Whistles and Keytons to get a jump on the holiday orders this past week, the knife production has been suffering. Will be getting back to sheath making and the stuff that cuts real soon. I promise. :)
