Low on Stock

I'm way low on everything so will have to go on a making binge this week and through the weekend. I have a bunch of Mini Prybabies that I have started and maybe some other small items going into the kiln this time. Won't be a lot of new knives for another week or two. About the most I can get done is 3 days or so of work to fill the little oven, and then a week or so of finishing the load out then the cycle repeats. So when you consider that you can see that my output is pretty limited. Doing the best I can with my little One Man Show. :)

More...

These are front and backs of the same pieces. From the left, #3 and #4 are already taken...these were fun but won't be doing more. Strictly experimental.

Goodies...

Gotta keep the eye candy coming I figure... :-)

Tray o' Sumos

Here's a few in progress...check out the nifty new red and blue wraps. :) I like the jungle stripes with digi camo one as well.

Shirts!!!

New Atwood shirts are here!!!

My friend Lahri Bond is a wonderful local artist and illustrator who happens to also be a 1950's science fiction movie buff like myself. He did an absolutely awesome job on the artwork for this and I have nothing but praise and thanks to heap upon him.

I am putting them up on the site today and they are available for immediate delivery.

All My String!

Just posted this on the FAQ page on my website. My current stock of paracord and rubber cords...

They're Coommmmming......

....and they are coooooooooooll! :D

Pendant

Not going to be making any more of these, was a one off.

Series 2 Goblins

Longer, sleeker and more thickerer. :D I boosted these up to 3/16 thick S30v rather than the old ones which were 5/32. They are just a tad longer at 4.75" OAL. Still a 3 finger knife but a lot of blade for the size and quite useful. Will be working on these and some Sumos over the next week or so.

Future is Bright...

More Sumo!

I like it! :D

Ever See Anything Like This?

This a preview of the new Sumo....I just did this one up quick this afternoon to see how it feels, still needs to be heat treated and name stamped. Very pleased!

OAL 5.25", 3/16" thick S30v, big hunka steel! :)

Another Proto Sumo

This one is smaller than the one below. These are kinda neat knives and I'm considering making a short run of them.

One for Me!

This one is actually on the way to someone but it is nearly identical to the one I'm carrying.

Big Haul

One very patient customer gets his patience rewarded this week.... :)

Proto Sumo

This was the prototype study piece for my upcoming Sumo model. I may make these a limited run, not sure yet. The knife is physically HUGE although not very long, measuring around 5 inches OAL but thick S30v stock that is very broad and fills the hand nicely. Reminds me a lot of a pumpkinseed or bluegill in the hand, broad and a little flat but with a distinct palm swelling feel to it. This is a sweet tool knife. Fun stuff! :) I have an even larger one that I will post as soon as the sheath is done. :O

Sneak Preview

Here's a sneak preview of the new Mini Son of PryThing. It's so cute I can't stand it myself. :) Hopefully I will be making the first batch of these this week.

Hey Atwoodites, I need a big favor...

My wife has recently entered her latest novel "The Dark Lord's Heir" in a writing contest sponsored by Borders and Simon and Schuster on gather.com. It's kind of like American Idol for writers and the winner will have their book published by Simon and Schuster.

What I'm wondering is would some of you be so kind as to go over there and give her a vote? It takes all of 5 minutes and would mean an awful lot to her. And of course I would be forever in your debt. :)

The link to the Novel chapter is HERE

To vote, scroll down to the bottom and select a number where it says "rate this article". You'll then have to register for Gather which is a minor pain, but they don't spam.

Once registered simply go back to the rate area and pick 10. :D

Please vote only once. If people try to vote more they will disqualify her.

Thanks so much folks, really appreciate anyone who will take the time to do this.

Feeling Abandoned?

Well buck up little soldiers, I have lots of cool new stuff coming along for your amusement and consideration. :D Hoping to get a heat treat in this week and get some of my regular stuff back in stock including Mini Prybabies, Wedgie3, Bug Out Bars, Micro Bug Out Blades. Will be working on regular Prybabies next week as well as Son of PryThings and brand new Mini Son of PryThings.

Also, new for 2007 will be a slightly redesigned version of the Goblin. I have made it a tiny bit longer and sleeker and pumped up the thickness to 3/16. These are going to have really nice ergonomics and I can't wait to start grinding them.

More damascus is in the works too. I have about 20 pieces cut out and in progress and will be slowly making my way through the pile. I'll be shooting for getting 4-5 into each upcoming heat treat. This year I will be trying out some new patterns too so it should be a lot of fun.

A few other brand new designs are in the works too and I will be revealing them over the next few weeks so stay tuned!
