Ghouls Coming Back

Will have some more of the CPM 3V Ghouls coming along in a few days, probably after the full sized Son of PryThings. This will be the last batch of the 3v Ghouls and no more will be made when these are gone. For those not familiar, these are the small chisel ground drop point blades with the cord wrapped handle and screwdriver butt end. Neat little personal carry tool blades.

Son of PryThings

Got a few of the Minis available now and a few more in the finishing stages. The full sized ones are also in the final stages and will be up in a day or two.

Waiting

I'm waiting on inserts for the ti whistles and so will be a few more days until release I think. I may also have my logo laser engraved on these whistles because my stamped logo has always looked like crap on the curved surface and ti is particularly springy and uncooperative under the hand stamp. Depending on cost I may send the entire balance of this batch in all materials out for engraving and that will add yet a few more days. So patience is the idea here for now. ;)

Huh, Wonder What This Is? :p

Check it Out...

Couple of these are in the oven curing...

I Know What You're Thinking...

"But Peter, what about us lefties?" Well fear not my Southpaw brothers and sisters...I saved the last three titanium Prybabies for you.

What! Not Enough for You?

Two talonite Skeeters....:D

Hey, what about that Eye Candy?

I know it doesn't seem like I'm listening sometimes but I am. Honest! Hehe, here's a few goodies for ya...also, literally about two tons of stuff is coming over the next week or two so stick around. Something tells me it's gonna be a fun few weeks ahead. :)

The Knurl's the Thing

Finally! Got the first 30 diamond knurl whistles turned this morning and got them finished up this afternoon. I spent several hours with the CNC shop yesterday and again today tweaking the darned things. It was time well spent though because we dialed in the knurl nicely in the end. What a tough one though, what with some tooling breaking and endless other little complexities that came up. Thank God I'm not a serious machinist and just play one on television! :)

I'm Getting There!

Patience please! :) LOL, I've been in and out of the shop a bunch this last week but I'm getting myself back into a production mindset. I think this week will see a fair amount of activity.

I'm slowly working my way through a huge pile of Son of PryThings and hope to get them done in the next week and get them into heat treat.

The machine shop that I work with is being a pain so the diamond knurl whistles are still in limbo. I was told "tomorrow" every day last week and am frankly disgusted with their service. Hang in there though, supposedly this week I will be seeing some pieces to finish and assemble. We'll see...at the end of the run they will be turning some damascus too...

Other projects that are on deck and are set to start grinding include Mini Keytons, new and improved Mini Prybabies, Bug Out Bars and a few others.

There will be a couple of misc. pieces coming out this week as well if all goes according to plan.

Looks like the Nays have it...

Well, I didn't get nearly as many positive comments and emails as negative ones so it looks like there will only be 15 of the straight knurl made, at least for now. I have 13 left so when these are gone they are gone...the remainder of the batch will be diamond. Hopefully I will have some pics of the diamond knurl version by next week.

Regular Prybabies will be back tomorrow.

Yay or Nay? You tell me....

Here's a quick pic showing the new straight knurl next to my standard rifle knurl. They ran a few of these this morning then had to stop the machine for a few days and will resume next week. So here's your chance to speak up and tell me if you all think these are a go or not. I'm definitely having some with diamond knurl done for certain but wasn't as sure on these. I'd appreciate anyone with a strong opinion to post in the comments section. Thanks! :)

So, Onward and Upward

Things settled down here and I'm back to work today. More goodies coming later this week! :)

Something Else...

Constellation Series

A couple of quick pics of the forthcoming Constellation Series. These are fun! :)

Prybabies and Prybaby XLs Back in Stock

Just got a bunch of Prybabies done today. I have several dozen of the full sized XL version as well as a dozen or so of the regular ones. These all have the thumb scallops this time. Usually I only do them on the XLs but I thought it would be nice to add soem to the regular Prybabies as well for a little variation. This particular batch is monster thick, nearly 3/16" and is in CPM154. Will have a few "special" ones as well in a couple of days... :P

Still waiting on whistles.

Whistles are Coming!

It's true, whistles are finally almost ready. Should be back in just a couple more days...when the run is completed this time there will be 3 different knurls offered. My standard rifle knurl will be included of course but then there will be a portion with a straight knurl and a portion with a diamond knurl. I'm excited to finally have a little more variety available. A few other options may be coming as well so keep your eyes peeled late next week or the week after as they get finished up.

Shot glasses may also be following. ;)

More News on the Postal Front

OK, here's the scoop as far as I can tell...domestic postage has gone up just a little bit for most of the packages I am sending. In most cases it is not a big deal. International though is a whole other ball game.

For basic orders less than $50 I can ship flat rate Priority mail for about $11 to most countries. This is now the cheapest option unfortunately. No tracking is available however and if someone wants to risk shipping this way they are taking responsibility if the package is lost or stolen in transit.

For orders over $50 I think Express Mail International is the safest way to go. The rates vary from country to country but is about $25 and it offers tracking.

Certain countries such as Italy I'm not sure about yet. So please email me to confirm and I will try in the meantime to figure out a way to set up my site for international ordering.

Thanks for your patience!

Overseas and Domestic Postal Rates Change Today

Well, this is going to require a bit of patience. The US post office has decided to change their rates effective today. They have really messed things up it sounds like. Apparently packages destined within the US will now be zoned and priced accordingly. Not sure yet exactly how it will work but the charges are not too bad and only slightly different than before.

It is with the foreign orders that I am really not sure what's going on. Packaging is different and the charges may be quite different so please contact me if you are ordering from overseas. I will be happy to inquire and figure it out. I hope this is a short period of adjustment and that I will get it all sorted out fairly quickly.

Ti Bar Group Shot

Got the first 6 done. I'm keeping the blue with coyote brown one for myself right now...:P :D
