Mini Racing Stripe Lanslides

Happy Tuesday! I have more Lanslides done today, minis with racing stripes. The Lanslides have been a lot of fun for me and I tie them onto all my jackets and bags. Hope you all have been enjoying them as much as I have. :)

All gone for now, thank you so much folks!

Three Dot Lanslides

Howdy Folks,

Hope everyone is having a good week so far. It's starting to cool off here and we'll be lucky to see 60 degrees this week. I think I know what's coming next even though I've been doing my darnedest to deny it... :)

Today I finished up the last of the 3 Dot Titanium Lanslides. They are $15 each plus shipping and the link is here:

All gone, thank you!

Few More Lock Nut Monsters

Hi Folks,

Here's another wave of the mysterious creatures, recently dredged from the murky depths of Loch Ness and miraculously cleared through US customs...hehe.. :D

Sold out for now, thank you!

Few More LNMonsters Sighted!

I have a few more done this morning...

All gone, thank you! Have a great weekend folks. :)

Lock Nut Monsters

Happy Friday People! Hope you all are heading into a great weekend. I'm looking forward myself to getting out tomorrow with my photographer friends for a little photo field trip. Too bad the recent rain and wind knocked off a lot of the bright leaves but it should be fun anyway.

I have some Lock Nut Monsters done today. This is the second run of them and I have tweaked the jaws to make them a bit more aggressive in the grip. These have the same beautiful raw bar finish on them as the first batch. Features include six SAE wrench sizes, captive bit system with 1/4" phillips bit, bottle opener, screwdriver/pry end and lanyard opening which doubles as an O2 wrench. They are $70 each plus shipping. As always, I really appreciate everyone stopping by and keeping me going. Thank you! :)

All gone for now but more are on the way. Thanks so much folks!

Brass Whistles

Hi Everyone,

I have just two dozen of these today. I will have another big batch of them in about two weeks so no worries if you wanted one and miss out this time. They are $45 plus shipping, same as the stainless ones. I do have a few more stainless at this time too so if you want one of those please email me.

All gone, thank you very much!

I'll also be doing bronze whistles in two weeks so there will be yet another variation coming. I do not know yet about pricing on bronze as it is fairly expensive. It should be interesting material though and I've always wanted to check it out. I may do a few bronze Lanslides as well depending on time. They also said they would try a green G10 whistle but there is no guarantee at all that it will be possible. I still have a few dozen titanium whistles here btw, that are waiting to get cleaned up and put together and a bunch of stainless also. In addition to cleanup steps I'm also waiting on more inserts for them.

I'm almost done with putting together the Lock Nut Monsters! Poltergeists will head to heat treat this weekend. Dace knives went to heat treat already, will be lucky if they are done before the holidays however. SnakeBites will be coming towards the end of this month! Larva will be getting milled in about a week or two, hoping for an early November finish. G5 Prybabies are still sitting there waiting for me to start sanding and do the surface grinding, probably looking at late November or December for those. Hoping to do the last few dozen Mini Brewdrivers before the holidays as well.

That's the tentative schedule above...we'll see if I can crank all this out or not. It's a lot to juggle but I'm trying! :)

Jenny's New Book!

As many of you may or may not know, my wife Jenny is a writer. She has written many best selling business books over the years and also a terrific health book on diabetes. Well, after many years of writing novels for fun, she finally sold a three book series of historical romances to Avon a little over a year ago.

The first of those books, Lord Lightning, is now on bookstore shelves around the U.S.A. This is a big deal because the big publishing houses are not publishing very many new authors these days and this is something Jenny has always dreamed of doing. I'm so proud of her! :)

We're really curious about where Lord Lightning might be showing up, so I'm calling on all my web friends to help us out and let us know if Lord Lightning made it to the shelves in your town. To encourage you to participate Jenny has created a contest and will be offering prizes to randomly selected people who report their book spottings.

All you have to do to enter is snap a photo of Lord Lightning when you see it on a store shelf.



You'll find the web entry form where you can upload your spotting photo and a note about where you spotted Lord Lightning HERE

List of Spottings

You have your choice of prizes when you fill in the entry form. Choose an Advanced Reading Copy of Jenny's next novel or an Atwood Mini Rifle Knurl Lanslide.

We'll be drawing the winners on November 1, 2010.

The publisher tells us Lord Lightning was ordered by all the big chains and should be stocked in quite a few Walmarts, too. So that means Barnes and Noble, Borders and probably some other stores as well.

Don't let the lurid cover fool you. Though it is being marketed as a romance, with the traditional "clinch" cover, Lord Lightning is a well written, very well-researched, emotionally compelling story that people of both genders have found entertaining.

You can read an brief excerpt on Amazon HERE.

Just a Reminder about Paypal

Hey Folks,

Anyone who sends me funds via email arrangements needs to send the funds as a regular transaction for goods, NOT a personal transaction. I know you are trying to do me a favor and are just trying to save some fees but please don't do that. I have an agreement with Paypal as a merchant that I will not abuse my account and that means sidestepping fees for something that is a business transaction.

Believe it or not, I don't mind paying some fees as the service that Paypal provides me is far cheaper than it would be if I had to process my own credit cards. So, looking at it from a business point of view I'm quite happy to pay them their fees. And don't forget, as a merchant I am paying less per transaction than you would.

The other reason I ask please do NOT send funds via a personal transaction is that when you send funds via a personal transaction no address comes through because Paypal treats it as what you said it was, a personal transaction which means I don't need to mail anything right? So I have to dig through past transactions or ask for the address by email. And then either go through a bunch of extra steps to create a label or hand mail it at the PO window. So it makes more work for me...

Anyway, just trying to lay it out so folks understand it. ;)

Thanks, and have a great weekend!

Brass Whistles

Hi Folks,

OK, I got some brass whistles done finally. This is only the first wave. I'll have a few more available this weekend and then a lot more in about two weeks. These are slightly slimmer than the earlier whistles in order to lighten them up a little bit because they were quite heavy before. They are now basically the same diameter as the original whistles from years ago and more reasonable in weight. Thanks again for stopping by and the link is below:

Sold Out!

Another Stainless Whistle Wave

Hi Everyone,

I have another small wave of the stainless whistles today. I will finish the brass ones up tomorrow. Thanks!

All gone for today, thank you!

Next Wave of Stainless Whistles

Good Morning Folks! Hope you're having a delightful weekend. :)

I have some more stainless whistles ready to go today.

The brass ones will not be ready until early this coming week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday. I still have a bit of work to do on them, clean up and assembly. I also have more titanium ones that need the same kind of attention. I can't hold the orders from today btw, so for those who will be asking me to wait until the brass ones are done so they will ship together no worries...I have tons more stainless ones to finish as well so when the brass are done you can ask me then about multiple orders. Today it's all stainless all the time! :D

Sold Out for today, thank you!

Stainless Steel Whistles

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have some of the 303 stainless steel whistles ready to go. I'm still working on titanium ones too but waiting for more inserts for them...but in the meantime I was able to complete these stainless pieces. This is only the first wave of them and there will be at least a couple more waves to go so no worries, many are in the pipeline and it will take me awhile to get them all cleaned up and put together. I should have some whistles of one kind or another on hand for at least a month or two so anyone who missed out can email me and I'll be able to hook them up.

Brass whistles are running either today or tomorrow so I will have those done in a few days. There will NOT be any damascus whistles in this run but I "might" have another surprise or two in the material department so stay tuned.

Stainless and brass whistles will run $45 plus shipping. International will go via Priority so you folks overseas can breathe a little easier. :)

First Wave Sold Out, thank you! I will finish many more of these in the coming days. I appreciate everyone stopping by this evening. :)

Rainbow Ti Whistles

Good Evening,

It's been a hectic couple of days with all sorts of distractions and it hasn't felt like I'm getting much done. Hopefully I'll get some solid shop time in over the weekend though.

I've still got quite a few more ti whistles in progress which I'll continue to work on over the next few days. I will have stainless ones early next week but I want to get through a few more of the ti whistles before I start in with finishing the stainless. Brass will be along in a week or two but I haven't even seen the bars yet at the shop so they are a ways off still.

Anyway, I have a few rainbow whistles done this evening. These have a matte finish and rainbow anodizing. There aren't very many so it's a one per customer sale tonight. Thank you!

Sold Out, thanks so much folks! I will make more. :)

Satin Blue Titanium Whistles

Good morning folks. Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was very busy with many things going on but the high point was the Patriots who I must say are looking darned promising this season...at least for now. :)

I've been finishing more whistles this morning and managed to get some blue ones completed. I'll do some other colors later this week but today I just have the blue ones and a few plain ones. These have a satin finish with blue anodizing. Since this is simple anodizng with no additional steps they are the same price as plain satin ones. Here is the purchase link and as always thanks for stopping by:

Blue ones are gone, thank you!

Still Working on Ano Whistles

I finally got more inserts yesterday evening. I have a very busy weekend planned with social commitments and quarterly paperwork (not to mention the Patriots at 1PM Sunday!) so might be Monday realistically before I can get enough completed for a sale. I think blue ones will be first up. I have tons and tons more whistles to finish so I think we'll have a variety of solid colors and rainbow...maybe I can get some tropicals done as well later next week. Stainless whistles will be coming late next week too followed by a small number of brass. And I just got back raw bar Lock Nut Monsters from heat treat so I'll get those up as soon as I can put them together. Sheaths should be coming for the Snakebites very very shortly. September is going to rock! :)

More Satin Ti Whistles!

Hi Folks,

This morning I managed to finish a few dozen more plain ti whistles. Later this week I will do some with anodizing which comes out very nice but these plain ones are still probably my favorites. I just love that brushed finish. :)

All gone for today. I have more on the way as soon as I can get them put together. Might do a few more plain ones and then I'll get into anodizing. Thank you very much!

Titanium Whistles

Hi Everyone,

I hope you've had a great weekend! It was just gorgeous here, so nice that I almost didn't get any work done...hehe. Actually I spent most of today indoors working on the new titanium whistles. I have a few dozen ready to go now. There are tons and tons more of these to go but tonight I have just what I was able to complete until I get more of the inserts.

These are very similar to the older ti whistle design but they feature the cool Art Deco inspired ribbed texture instead of the older knurled design. These have a plain brushed finish and come on a keyring. Up the road I'll do some anodized ones and those I will probably put on bead chain. Overall length is 2.5", diameter is 1/2 inch, weight is 16 grams. Due to the round shape and springy nature of titanium, like the last whistles, these do not bear the Atwood stamp. These will be the same price as the last titanium whistles, $95 plus shipping. International shipping will be via Express Mail for security. Here is the link:

Sold Out for now, but many more on the way this week. Thanks!

Making Good Progress

Hi Folks,

I'm making good progress on current projects even though everything seems frustratingly slow. As viewers of the Atwood Toolbook section on Facebook already know, I am working on a brand new run of whistles, first release will be in titanium and then in a few weeks the later releases will be in stainless steel. There will not be any in damascus and due to the busy design there will not be any fancy patterns either. Hoping to have the first wave completed next week.

Also in progress is a new variation of the Ghost tool which will be called the Poltergeist. I have an updated G3 Prybaby about to be cut next week, called the G5 Prybaby. At heat treat right now and due back anytime is a good sized batch of Lock Nut Monster wrenches. I'm still waiting on sheaths for the Snakebite knives from my sheathmaker friend up in Canada...Dace knives have been ground and are just waiting for the last cleanup operation before heading to heat treat. Larva tools are awaiting milling. And I have one more tool in the Creature series that's about to be cut next week as well, the NutCrocker.

So, as you can see, there is just a ton of stuff happening but nothing is popping just yet. Should be a different picture by the end of next week. So in the meantime, hope everyone has a terrific long weekend and some well deserved rest! :)

Nifty new whistle design, Larva tool and G5 Prybaby:

Slotted Lanslides

Good evening everyone,

I finished up a few of the slotted Lanslides today. These have a cool striated texture on them...shiny highlights with an overall stonewashed finish. They have three slots measuring 1.5mm x 5mm, just the right size for standard small self actuating glow tubes available from Bart on CPF. This batch is very small, just three dozen of them. These were much more costly to make than the regular Lanslide series so are a little more expensive. They run $25 each plus the shipping. When these are gone I have a few more plain ones coming as well which I may anodize.

Sold out, thank you!

Rest of the Chiggers

Hi folks,

Finally cooling off here today. I'm looking forward to relaxing this weekend and pursuing my photography hobby. In case anyone was wondering, the signed photos I've been including with my sales this week are just random shots from my collection and they vary widely in subject matter. Most of them have been hot rod shots from a recent local gathering of gorgeous vintage cars but I also do a lot of nature shots and misc. experimental images. I have a wide variety of cameras and lenses so you never know what I will come up with. I won't be including them all the time, just when I happen to have prints on hand but I thought it would be fun thing to do, kinda like the old fashioned tobacco and gum cards they used to give out back in the day. ;)

I have the rest of the Chiggers packaged up this morning and the link is below. Thanks again for looking in on me and I hope you're having a terrific week!

Sold Out, thank you!

More DoubleHeaders

Happy Wednesday folks. Hope you are keeping cool!

Today I finished up more of the plain DoubleHeader wrenches. This batch really came out nice with a beautiful shiny stonewashed surface.

Made of Crucible’s CPM 3V premium tool steel hardened to 58-59 Rockwell and cryo treated, this 4 1/2" long, 5/32" thick compact multi wrench tool features twelve metric wrench sizes: 6,8,10,12,14 and 16mm on one end and 5,7,9,11,13 and 15mm on the other. Additional ¼ and 5/16 wrench openings and oxygen wrench also included.

All gone for now, thank you!

Chiggers!

Howdy Folks,

I have some plain basic Chiggers™ ready to go today.

The simple design of the Chigger™ pays homage to the classic key ring screwdriver/pry tools of the past but adds a bottle opener and 5/16" wrench. The large 3/4" hex opening makes it easy to slip onto a keyring and helps provide grip. The Chigger™ is made of 5/32" thick CPM S30v steel, is 2.25" long and features a stone washed finish. These are $45 each plus shipping. As always, thanks for stopping by, I sure do appreciate it.

All gone for now, a few more coming shortly. Thank you.

More Stamped DoubleHeaders

Hi Everyone,

OK, I have the last of the stamped Doubleheaders done and ready to go. There are less than two dozen of them so I'll make this sale one per customer so the most folks possible have a chance at them. I got word yesterday that my other batch of plain DoubleHeaders is leaving heat treat today so I should have them early next week.

All Gone, thank you!

DoubleHeaders with Stamps

Alrighty then, I managed to get the rest of the DoubleHeaders sorted and finished up. I still have some plain ones left and will have an additional entire batch of plain ones coming back from heat treat in two weeks. In the meantime, today I have the stamped ones ready to go. There are several dozen of these, mostly different, so to keep it simple I'm not going to offer a choice of stamps, I'll just pick one and send whatever I send. These will be $60 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks!

Sold Out, thank you!

DoubleHeader Wrenches!

Hi Folks,

Thanks for your patience during this long hot summer. It's been slow and everything is moving at a glacial pace it seems. But it's going to pick up very soon and here's a bit of that trickle that I promised a week ago.

The first wave of DoubleHeader Wrenches are finally done. These are closely based on a historical double ended alligator wrench design from the turn of the last century that I found in an antique shop and have always wanted to make. My version is all metric in sizes though and is made of premium CPM 3V tool steel which has a reputation as a ridiculously tough and hard steel for heavy duty applications. Keep an eye on it and apply some oil or other protection periodically as this one has less corrosion resistance than S30v. Part of the tradeoff if you want toughness.

The DoubleHeader, #2 in the Creature Series, features 5,7,9,11,13 and 15mm wrenches on the Oxygen Wrench and Atwood logo end (the odd numbers on the odd end!) and 6,8,10,12,14 and 16mm on the 1/4" Hex end. And a 5/16 hex in the middle. OAL is 4 1/2 inches and the thickness is 5/32. These have a somewhat shiny stonewashed finish.

I have one batch back from heat treat which I am sorting now. These first ones are plain and are $55 plus shipping.

More coming tomorrow, thanks!

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. :)

SnakeBite



Dace

Blue 3 Dot Lanslides

Hi Everyone,

I have some 3 Dot Lanslides finished. These are anodized blue. The dots are drilled with flat bottoms so they can filled by the user with glow powder or they will also accept 4mm cabochon stones. These run $15 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by!

Blue ones are gone, thank you. Working on gold and UV next.

It's Hot!

This heat might make the bugs fly faster but it just makes me slower. Highs near 100 for the past two days and the air is absolutely still. Pretty miserable and not likely to be significantly cooler for several more days...of course this is summertime so I should stop whining. :)

The good news is though that I am getting the new DoubleHeader wrenches underway. These are a Metric double ended pocket wrench tool with odd number jaws on one end and even number jaws on the other. Made of CPM 3V so they will be crazy strong. Teaser pics coming very soon. I am making a relatively large number of these and so there should be plenty to go around.

The little Dace knife is coming along but very slowly. I need to finish up the pry tip grinds this week and they will be ready to go to my friends for the blade grinds. I'm having these CNC V ground. Hoping they can get to this in the next week or two but they are currently closed for a vacation week and may extend shutdown for a second week so it's touch and go.

A second small knife, the Helgramite, is actually nearly done. I need to make sheaths for them and sharpen them. I'm hoping to have the majority of sheaths made for me but the sheathmaker I want to use for this project is off for the week. So not sure how long it's going to take. I'll trickle a few out when the weather moderates and I can run the exhaust fan a little without sucking the cool air out of the house.

Another project in the wings is a tiny pocket prybar called the Larva. This one will be made in raw bar S30v if I can sort through and find a suitable sheet. Cute little thing!

I have another couple of rounds Lanslides that I need to finish up. One design is the 3 Dot pattern and then I have a few with trit slots as well.

So, lots of stuff is coming but it will be a little slow for a week or two. ;) Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!

Blue 5 Flute Lanslides

Hey everyone,

It seems I'm on something of a roll lately. :) I have more ti Lanslides finished, this time the Five Flute ones with blue anodizing on black cord. They are $15 each plus shipping and the link is below. Have a nice evening!

Blue ones are gone, thank you so much!

Tropical Ghosts

Good morning and Happy Monday. :)

I have two dozen splash style Tropical Anodized Ghosts available. Because it's a very small number this will be a one per customer sale. These are $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks!

Sold Out! Thanks folks. :)

More Blue Titanium Ghosts

Good evening everyone. Hope you had a nice weekend.

I have a few more ti Ghosts finished. These are anodized that beautiful deep blue over the stonewashed textured finish. They are $60 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by!

Blue ones are all gone, thank you.

More 5 FLute Lanslides

Howdy Folks!

I have a bunch more of the 5 flute Lanslides done. These are definitely my favorite bead design so far and are beautifully machined. This bunch has a plain machine satin finish with black cord and are $15 each plus shipping. As always, thanks for stopping by. :)

All done for tonight, thank you! I'll do some anodized ones next. :)

Monster is Sighted for Second Time this Week!

Witnesses report the Monster has reappeared this afternoon! :)

The first tool of the Creature Series, The Lock Nut Monster tool features offset multi-wrench jaws with six SAE wrench sizes, 1/4-9/16, my captive bit system with #1 phillips bit, bottle opener, screwdriver/prytip and lanyard hole which doubles as an oxygen wrench. The gnarly and slightly oxidized raw bar finish is the appropriate hide for a creature from the murky depths. ;)

These are $70 plus shipping.

Yo, International Customers: This is a somewhat hefty tool and so I am nervous about shipping via Priority International mail. If you order, you are ordering at your own risk as I cannot be responsible and will not replace tools that disappear in transit. If you order two or more tools then I will automatically go to the more secure Express Mail shipping which offers real tracking and insurance but of course is twice as expensive.

Sold out, thank you!

Lock Nut Monsters!

Howdy Folks! Welcome to the weekend. :)

The first tool of the Creature Series, The Lock Nut Monster tool features offset multi-wrench jaws with six SAE wrench sizes, 1/4-9/16, my captive bit system with #1 phillips bit, bottle opener, screwdriver/prytip and lanyard hole which doubles as an oxygen wrench. The gnarly slightly oxidized raw bar finish is appropriate for a creature from the murky depths. ;)

These are $70 plus shipping. I have a first wave for tonight then I'll have a second wave in a day or two when I get them together. It takes a while to put the O-rings on, tie the lanyards and prepare the packaging. ;)

If you order, you are ordering at your own risk as I will not replace tools that disappear in transit.

First wave is gone but more are coming. Thank you! :)

Five Flute Lanslides

Howdy Folks!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. It's rainy and gloomy here but at least it is a comfortable 63 degrees.

I have a first wave of these gorgeous five flute titanium Lanslides available. They are $15 plus shipping and I have quite a few of these done and many more coming as well. Here is the link:

Sold Out for tonight, thank you. Like I said above, this was just the first wave of these though and I will have a bunch more shortly.

UV Ghosts

Howdy all!

I have some Titanium Ghosts with UV anodizing finished. This is a really small batch, just two dozen and they are $60 plus shipping. The link is below:

Sold Out! Thanks very much folks! I still have a lot of Ghosts left and I will try to finish up more over the weekend along with some new Lanslide Beads.

Plain Titanium Ghosts

Good Morning!

Things are settling down around here after a tough couple of weeks and I'm getting back on track. This morning I have some plain unanodized Titanium Ghosts ready. These have a stonewashed finish. I will be doing more colored ones in the next day or so but these are just plain vanilla flavored. As always, thank you for stopping by and for your patience. ;)

Sold Out, thank you!

Shipping

I wanted to add a note about shipping...

I only use the US Post Office for shipping. I use Priority Mail so that people will get their packages fast and also because the boxes and envelopes are free and convenient.

After your purchase I create a shipping label and Paypal automatically sends an email confirming that the package is on its way. And the email provides the delivery confirmation number. Once in a while paypal has a glitch and doesn't send an email right away but usually it does.

Generally the post office provides very good service and delivers in a speedy fashion. I lose very few packages per year and considering how many I ship I am very pleased with them. There is no real tracking for Priority Mail however...the delivery confirmation number SOMETIMES shows progress but often only shows a change AFTER the package is delivered. Don't ask me why, it's a mystery but that's how it works.

International Sales:

Where it gets trickier is for international orders. The only way to get tracking and to insure the contents of the package is with Express Mail. But Express Mail costs between $25 and $35. Since very few people wish to pay that much to send a $50 tool I usually just make it Priority Mail for $13 which is still expensive but that's what it costs.

Since International orders leave the US postal system I have no control once they leave the country and Priority Mail International packages cannot be tracked. Luckily very few get lost but I have a slightly higher rate of loss than domestic orders. Unfortunately I cannot be responsible for lost orders overseas, therefore foreign buyers are taking a risk on delivery I'm afraid.

One other thing, please do not ask me to lie on the value of the contents. It is illegal to misrepresent the value of the items being sent and I will not do it.

Attention Newbies! :)

Hi Folks,

Every week I get at least one or more emails asking me if I can sign someone up for my sales. Old timers know what is going on but new people who stumble upon my site are often slower to understand my sales model.

Here is how my sales work:

1. If the batch is large I post a link from Planet Pocket Tool to a sale page on atwoodknives.com. The page is invisible to casual visitors to the website and can only be accessed through the blog posting. When the sale is over I remove the link.

2. If the sale is for One of a Kind or limited edition type items where there are only a few available (such as knives) I post a Sign Up Sale on the blog. When the Sign Up Sale is over I remove the sign up link and pick the Sign Up Sale winners.

3. I sell items directly to customers via email now and again. If I have something in stock I'm happy to sell it to you anytime, just email me.

Blue Titanium Ghosts

Howdy all,

It's been a tough couple of weeks and slow to get things done. But we're starting to roll again with many new items coming in the next weeks.

Tonight I have a few of the titanium Ghosts finished. These have a nice stonewashed finish and are anodized blue. I will get to other colors later in the week but for now I just have the blue ones. They are $60 plus shipping and the link is here:

Sold Out for today, thank you! I will have more sometime on Wednesday in a different color, probably plain ones next.

SuperFly SUSale

Well it's the middle of May and around here that means one thing: Black Fly Season. Every time you go out in the yard for more than two minutes those little bastards will drive you nuts and leave you covered with itchy welts. :)

Anyway, in celebration of pesky insects, I have just 10 of these steel G2 Superbugs covered with swarms of black flies. These will be $70 plus shipping and the sale will end this evening, Monday May 17th at 7PM Eastern time.

Sale is over. Thanks for stopping by everyone!

Entrant List

Sign Up Sale Rules

And the Winners Are:

Holy smokes, this is a new susale record! Amazing. Thanks to all who signed up and I wish I could have 460 of these available tonight...but I only have 6. The lucky numbers are:

5 Me
38 leobloom
103 MeMeMe
354 boris
450 scar34
453 Pski

I will send emails to the winners right now. Again, thanks so much folks and I will be doing a regular release batch of knives this year so there will be other chances to get one of these.

Mr. Chubbs SUSale

Alright, I've tortured you guys long enough. :D

I have just 6 of these prototype knives available. They are made of CPM S30v steel with a heavy raw bar finish and are chisel ground. The thickness is .170, so they are thicker than 5/32 but thinner than 3/16. The ring hole is 1 inch in diameter, width is 1.25 and length is 3.5 inches. The center hex is 5/16 and is there mostly to aid in sheath retention and to provide a convenient pivot point when manipulating the knife. This is a really neat little blade, short and fat.

It is unlikely that I will do a run of these as you see them here. I have already cut a couple of samples with a deeper and more rounded finger groove area and that would more likely be the design that I would go with if I make a full batch. A full run of them would be V ground on CNC equipment. Now, I'm pretty sure I will be making these but I have another keychain knife design that I am considering as well. Who knows, maybe I'll end up doing both of them this year.

Anyway, these hand ground protos will be $150 each plus shipping. The Sign Up Sale will run until 9PM eastern time tonight, Tuesday May 11th. One entry per person please, duplicate entries will be discarded. As always, thanks for your interest!

Sale is over, thanks to all who signed up!

Good evening everyone,

Here's an early evening sale, especially for the West Coast crowd who keep complaining that my sales are too early. LOL, you guys will probably miss this one too... :p

I just have a few of these with bee or black fly stamps on them. So it's a one per customer sale please. These are $65 plus shipping and the link is below. As always, I appreciate everyone who stops by!

Sold out, thank you!

Patterned Wroaches SUSale

Good Morning!

It's been a long time since I've done anything with anodized patterns. I've had some trouble with my equipment and I had worn out some of my old pattern making supplies. I can't promise that I will be doing a whole lot of these in the future but probably a little bit here and there.

Anyway, I have 12 patterned Wroaches finished. These have a variety of decorations on them and all are different. The price will be $85 plus shipping and the sign up will end at 8PM Eastern time tonight, May 1st. After the drawing, I will send emails to the winners and they will have their choice of pieces in the order that I receive payment.

Sign Up Sale is over, winners will be announced shortly. Thank you to all who signed up!
