4 for a Christmas customer
Two weeks before Christmas I was asked to make 6 knives for a guy for gifts.... and I laughed in his face as I usually need a few months to get anything done. But I gave it a shot. I didnt get 6 done but did manage to get 4 done which is the most ive ever done in such short time (i was building shop as well). Because of lack of time they all got a utilitarian/user finish of 320 grit. Two are handled in curly Walnut and two in Kirinite (first time ive tried using it). This is the only pic I have...
Just standard drop points.. Thanks for looking! comments welcome. ~Nate |

Geez Nate! You don't have a magic box full of "ready made to the customer's order" knives? That'd be one of the first things I'd get installed in that new shop for sure!
I used to laugh, then get irritated when they asked for a multi-buy discount with the deal. Older now and just say "Nope, there's a Walmart down the road." __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |
