More Bronze Lanslides
Howdy All,
Whew, no snow this morning, just a layer of black ice so we dodged another bullet last night. I'm not looking forward to the next few months though...they say the New England winter gives you character but I assure you, I already have plenty of that!
I'm not quite ready to face the bead blast cabinet again this morning so the rest of the Roids will have to wait another day. Today I have more of the large 5 ribbed Bronze Lanslides done. These chunky little beauties look great on zippers, knife lanyards and bags. They are $25 plus the shipping. Thanks for stopping by today!
Sold out, thank you!

G5 Roids
Hey Folks,
Well, my computer is back up and I think I'm oriented enough on the new operating system to attempt a sale this evening. We'll see how I'm able to keep up.
I have a few of the G5 Roid Prybabies(R) done today. These are massive, and at .285" the thickest ones I've ever done. The thick tool steel is a bit gnarly so expect a few stray machine marks here and there. I had some difficulties with the tumbling so I decided to bead blast this batch to even them out cosmetically. There are still more to go so there will be another sale later this week as well.
The G5 Roids are $75 plus shipping....the batch is small so these will be one per customer please. Thanks for your patience everyone!
Sold Out for now, thank you so much!

One Thing After Another
This has been just a ridiculously annoying period lately!
My computer developed problems last week and so I bought a new one. The last few days have been filled with switching over data and setting up the new system. This morning I actually got things mostly in order so that's all good to go.
However, I went to jump in the shower and get my day going only to discover that our well pump seems to be on the fritz. So now I'm sitting around waiting for the well guy to call me back. All this PITA stuff on top of the other disruptions this year...it continues to be very frustrating!
Anyway, I will have some sales going later this week (G5 Roid Prybabies, G5 Flat Prybabies and more Longslides) so please bear with me for a few more days. Hopefully things will settle down and I can get some work done instead of chasing after all this other crap. Thanks!

Blue Longslides
Howdy All,
Great day here in the northeast, a little cloudy and gloomy but it's very warm, almost t-shirt weather. A good afternoon for a sale.
Upcoming later this week will be G5 Prybabies in the Roid Edition. I just have a little finish work to do on them still. Also coming in a week or so will be a large batch of some flat G5 Prybabies. I played around with the design a little and came up with a nifty wallet version which will make for a perfect stocking stuffer.
Today I have some satin finish titanium LongSlides, anodized a beautiful blue. These are really lovely and I couldn't resist keeping a few for my own collection. They look great on pocket flashlights for example. Which reminds me, I better keep a plain one for my incoming McGizmo Mule with Nichia 119 Hi CRI. :D
Anyway, these are $25 plus shipping and the link is below:
Blue ones are gone, thank you! I will have more bronze ones coming in a week or so as well as some in stainless steel and a few aluminum.

The Largeness Continues...
Hi Everyone,
Turkey Day is almost here! I'm looking forward to much feasting followed by some interesting football games.
Today I have a batch of the plain titanium Five Ribbed LongSlides done. These unanodized machine satin finished monsters definitely will make a substantial addition to any zipper pull or knife lanyard application. The giant Lanslides run $25 plus shipping. Thank you for stopping in folks, and for the continued support, it is very much appreciated!
Plain satin ones are gone, thank you! I will have more coming up soon, some more in titanium and then also some stainless steel ones, some bronze ones and maybe some others.

More Bookies!
Hi Folks,
The past few days have been rather gloomy but the sun is out today which always lifts my spirits even though it's a little chilly outside...I think I know what is coming soon and it's going to be cold, white and unpleasant. :D
Projects updates: Steel Pests are coming along and should be done in a couple of days. Same with the G5 Roid Prybabies. Also, a couple of other goodies should be on the way for next weekend. There will be lots of stocking stuffer type items for the next few weeks. Roid Keytons are probably not going to happen until January, same with ti Keytons, I just can't get to everything this year.
Today I have more of the steel Bookies done. These are $60 plus shipping and the purchase link is below...hope everyone is heading for a relaxing weekend!

Steel Bookies
Howdy Folks,
Well, things are getting more interesting by the minute around here. Sooooo many projects going on that it will be a miracle if I can even get half of it all done before the end of the year.
So, you wanted more sharps? Sharp Week continues... :D
Today I have the first wave of Bookie desk tools done. These are the 420 stainless steel version of the Bookie tools and they have been hardened to 56-58 Rockwell and then CNC ground on one side. They are razor sharp and will open an envelope or perform other small chores with ease.
I chose 420 for these over something more exotic like S30v because it is a well known and reliable cutlery steel and it is readily available in the very thin thickness that I needed for the bookmark/letter opener project. At .040 in thickness you really don't need anything fancy as the geometry will allow nearly any material to cut like crazy.
The Bookies have been tumbled and then retumbled and then retumbled some more to a gorgeous stonewashed finish. The cutting edge was buffed to a high polish for a nice drag free cutting action and the Atwood logo is etched to distinquish this mid tech tool from my custom projects. They come with a simple plastic slip sheath like the EDK knives and also a lanyard. You can keep the tool in the slip or do what I like to do which is tuck it into an address book or checkbook so that it's handy on your desk.
Since the Bookie is shaving sharp be VERY CAREFUL if you want to use the bottle opener!! I would leave it in the plastic slip sleeve or in the spine of the book if you want to open a beer. Or consider it a design feature and use it as a knife only. ;)
As I said, this is just the first of several waves of these steel Bookies. They are $60 each plus shipping. Thanks as always for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a terrific week.
First Wave is Sold Out but I have more coming mid week. Thank you!

LongSlides
Hi Everyone,
Things are back to normal around here finally and I've been getting back to work in the shop. There is just a TON of stuff happening all at once and this month will be getting busier and busier as the days go on.
SuperSlides, LongSlides....I have had a number of folks ask for a larger Lanslide bead so I decided to make some giant ones. These are the same diameter as the full sized Lanslides but are nearly twice as long. So they measure 1/2" wide by 5/8" long. I decided to stick with the ribbed pattern but added a couple more ribs on to the end. The effect is big and beautiful, especially on these bronze ones which have some heft to them. I'll be making some in titanium pretty soon as well but for now just have the bronze ones ready.
These big guys run $25 each plus shipping. As always, thanks so much for stopping by, it's very much appreciated.
Bronze ones are sold out, thank you!

Stonewashed G2 Keytons
Happy Weekend Folks! ;)
We had a dusting of snow last night (which did not thrill me in the least) and they're forecasting 2-5" more of heavy wet white stuff on Saturday night. Way too early IMO...absolutely rotten weather in the Northeast this year.
Lots of goodies coming up. I will have giant ribbed Lanslides shortly. I have steel Pests and G5 Prybaby Roids at heat treat right now so those will be here in a week or two. The hardened steel Bookies are coming in a week or so as well. It's going to be crazy busy here for the next few weeks.
Well today I have the stonewashed G2 Keytons done. These are $60 each.. Thanks for stopping by as always!
Sold Out! Thank you!
P.S. How about that World Series game last night? Wow! I'm dragging my butt today but it was worth staying up for. ;)

Raw Bar Keytons
Hey Everyone,
So, at long last the G2 Keytons are back from heat treat. Unfortunately the stonewashed ones need a bit more clean up and tumbling before they will be ready but the raw bar ones look great so they will go up first. This update to the original Keyton is made of CPM S30v steel, they measure 3 inches long and are milled from my usual hefty 5/32 thick stock. Of course the raw bar ones are slightly chunkier because they haven't had the mill scale removed.
There aren't a lot of them so these will be one per customer please and they will run $65 plus shipping. I'll give international customers the option of Priority or Express Mail...thanks as always! PURCHASE LINK IS BELOW:

Blue Bookies!
Howdy folks,
It's been a little slow recently but that's because I've been scrambling to get various projects underway and on the road to being finished. Some big batches of stuff will be going out to heat treat later this week...speaking of heat treat, those G2 Keytons are still in there but should be coming back next week I believe. I'll have those and lots of other tools coming on in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!
Today I finally have the titanium Bookies finished up. This is an interesting concept I think, a titanium bookmark tool...or as I like to call it, a Page Blade. They are made of thin (.040") titanium and feature a bottle opener and light pry tip/screwdriver. OAL is 4 1/2 inches and the blade portion is 2 1/2 inches. Really neat little item. I only did a small batch of these so I decided to mostly finish them off in one color, blue. And yes, a hardened 420 steel version of the same thickness but with full flat grind will be coming next month and that piece will have an additional function as a letter opener/desk tool. ;) Still trying to decide if the steel ones will get sharpened or not...
Anyway, these titanium Bookies are $55 plus shipping. As always, thank you for stopping by. :)

Last of the Black
Hi Everyone,
It's a warm day here, probably the last of the 80's that we shall see this year. The leaves are a total dud this year probably on account of the incredible amount of rain, otherwise I'd be out taking pictures today...
Progress Reports: I'm not positive but I think the G2 Keytons will be back from heat treat by the end of the week. I also have the titanium Bookies coming along in the next day or two. I need to spend some hours in the shop on each of several projects but there is much that is partially completed and almost ready to send out for heat treat and those include S30v Steel Pests, 3V Steel Roid Renches and more G2 Keytons but this time in a Roid Edition. I have some other projects planned for late fall such as titanium G2 Keytons and a reprise of an older tool design so there are many more goodies to look forward to as well. ;)
Anyway, this afternoon I have the rest of the black handled S30v EDKs finished. They are $110 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks!
Black are Sold Out, thank you so much!

More Wood Handled EDKs
Hi Everyone,
I have the last of the wood handled EDKs done. Steel is on special order and I will be making more of these in a few months and perhaps another blade shape as well. Although I like these handles I may also be trying some other handle materials and finishes, we shall see...speaking of handles, the wood ones should get oiled regularly and/or waxed. I found a nice product for this over on Amazon, Howard Butcher Block Conditioner...highly recommended!
Wood ones are gone, thank you!
