Been following it over on Instagram. That's an awesome knife! Great materials and equally great craftsmanship. Is it spoken for?

Nope, not spoken for. Still have to find a buyer

Working on a new one. Playing a little with hamon's. Still a lot of polishing to go.

That’s looking great Casey!! Really like that profile and the swedge is nice and clean. What steel is it? That hamon is looking so good we may have to twist your arm to share your techniques with us.

It's 1075. First time I've done a hamon on 1075. I've done a couple on W2. I think I like this better.

Currently enjoying cup of coffee number 2 while the Lord gives me a good show with thunder, lightning and a massive amount of rain! Not a bad morning. I’m supposed to be getting yard work done as we’re having our wedding here on the 21st of September lol clocks ticking!
I thought up there in Pacific NW ya'll didn't get thunderstorms with all the thunder 'n lightning.

Oh, we do. Although here in the Northern part of California, when we get lightning, we also get forest fires. a constant worry this time of year. As we speak, we are under a red flag warning meaning high fire danger.
Oh Jon, congrats on your wedding. My bride and I have our anniversary on the 29th of Sept. # 35!

I decided to make Grinder 2.0 and here it is. Much more user friendly than 1.0!

Sometimes we get some good ones, best one I ever saw was in Baghdad in 2008, we were stuck there for a week and for about a day and a half we got hammered with the most powerful thunderstorm I could ever imagine, it was truly glorious, and as a 20 year old Infantryman you know we were standing out there in the rain loving it!

Well I managed to get my shop back online with a simple (if there is such a thing) breaker swap. I will be needing a new meter loop dropped at some point. The rail was corroded and the breaker clips were almost gone. I was intending to add a transfer switch for my generator anyway. Should get off for less than $500 for the loop plus however fancy a switch I want.
I hung 3 new LED shop lights in place of the 3 fluorescents that were there. When I get up to the 8 lights I have planned, it will be bright as the noon day sun.
