A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by my table this year to check out my work. It was a very humbling experience to present my knives to an audience of thousands of people. For someone who can talk as much as I can, I think all the hours of chit chat tired me out! I truly and dearly appreciate every single interaction I had at Blade Show. Also, I hope you all enjoyed the candy graciously provided by my friends at Sultan Supermarket.
I've posted all the remaining knives for sale on this site. I've reflected on some of my pricing and decided to lower the prices on the Frenzy.
So what's next for me? Well, I'm going to clean my shop for a start! I also need to do some updates to my work space: I'll be enclosing the grinder in a more efficient dust collecting room, build some new work benches, rearrange some of the machines, and possibly invest in more tooling. I have a few in-progress projects that need wrapping up before I start making anything new.
What I'm really hoping to do with this reset is improve my quality and output. I will be tweaking the Frenzy design to improve detent ball track. I have the Havoc to begin making with its changes from the prototype. I'd like to turn out a few more Steadfasts... I think what I'm saying is I'll be focused on folding knives for the foreseeable future.
Thank you all again for the continued support and friendship!
Take care and stay sharp,
Derek
