I'm Grinding!

Sorry for the long period between updates...Despite taking a lot of time this summer for some playtime I've been quite busy working on projects as well. Here's the current situation:

At heat treat right now:

Metric DoubleHeaders
More Metric DoubleHeaders
Oddball batch of Chiggers that I forgot about
Second batch of LockNut Monsters

Waiting on sheaths for Snakebites. Waiting on grinding for Dace knives. Waiting on cutting for something new called the Hooker. Waiting on cutting for the Larva. Lot of waiting it seems... :p :D

Destined for the tumbler and finishing very soon would be tritium slotted Lanslides.

I have some odds and ends of tools that I ought to prepare for some sign up sales too...

And, I have some plans for something brand new turned in titanium that would be a September or October timeframe release.

So, barring catastrophe, there will be a trickle starting in a few days that will turn into a raging torrent of stuff by the end of August. :)

  6. Sheesh Peter, I'd have thought you'd have had enough rain and humidity to avoid 'raging torrent' metaphors :). Sounds like a wonderful cornucopia of goodies, waiting somewhat patiently!

  16. The Dace looks like a nice marine-use knife, with the shackle key built-in.

  20. Thanks!

    The Dace is going to be getting CNC ground and so will be ground on both sides unlike this mockup proto which is chisel ground.

  21. I think The Dace rivals some of your former knife creations Peter! Its going to be a classic! Can't wait to have it physically in my hands! Can't wait!!! Gary :)

  25. Man, I thought for sure we'd have some Ti trit lanslides today. :) Hope you've been enjoying the nice weather lately Peter!

  26. Hmmm.. I have been camping on this page trying to net one of these Dace. It is awfully hard to get Peters tools. Hopefully I will be lucky on this fishing trip!

  27. The Dace is probably going to ETA around October if we are lucky. It takes a long time to get a large batch of knives through all the steps.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Love to hear "large batch of knives", means more possibility of possessing one :).

    ReplyDelete
  29. Sweet! A large batch sounds good! A whole school of Dace would make for a nice photo. October is only two months away...that gives me time to save the pennies too!
