My heat treat oven isn't finished yet, so I have to farm that out to someone....its taking a long time to get them done!

As if that wasn't enough, I've had a devil of a time getting damascus billets of late.

My two suppliers tell me they are running at full capacity.

Then last week I thought we were getting some shipped and they built the wrong pattern!

Don't give up the ship on me....half the billets should leave Saturday and the rest next week so I will be back in business pretty quick. Maybe in a week more I will also have my batch of heat treated blades back to complete about 20 knives before Christmas...if my sanity lasts that long.

sorry to hear about the snags,  sounds like your keeping busy though!


i think it's about time to order a few more sticks of 1095

BBBBLLLLAAAAHHHHHHH!HAHAHAHAHAHA, Who in the heck told you , you had sanity to start with?

No worries Ray I'm sure they will be worth the wait!
