A big burly man knife in progress

1/4 inch thick x 2 inches wide 5160 spring steel makes a hefty blade. Also, it takes a while to grind the edge.  Ask me how I know.  

Orders in progress

The new grinder is humming along nicely and I'll post another after these are heat treated.

We have knives in stock and ready to ship!

Check out the new updated "knives in stock" page.   We have several knives in stock with a few styles to to choose from.  From bushcrafting to the zombie apocalypse we have you covered!
  We got in a big batch of knife steels, the new forge is almost done and the new blade grinder is fully functional so check back often as more will be added in the next few weeks.

Using our bushcrafting knives for bushcrafting.

It was a pleasant day in the north land and a new bushcraft book had arrived so we  decided to play with fire and cook a little supper.

We decided to try a new pot hook arrangement that looked fun to build and went in to the back 40 to find suitable raw materials.  It is really fun to have someone to help get camp set up, while one of us was prepping the tinder bundle the other guy can prep the kindling and bigger stuff. A fire was going and burning nicely in about five minutes.  I'm pretty sure we had the pot hook set complete in about 10 minutes.  The next one will go faster as we had to find out the best way to get stuff done.  We are proud of the fact that we can use the knives we make to do this stuff.  

Supper was hot chocolate with pork chop soup.

Pork chop soup is a nice one pot meal.  2 beef or pork ramen noodle flavor packs, 2 medium sized pork chops cut in to cubes, 2-3 medium sized spuds, 2 carrots, and a small onion.  Chop up the veg in to fit in your mouth pieces and throw it all in pot with enough water to cover all the pieces and boil for about 20 minutes. 

Saturday was a productive day!

The new Blade grinder in action!

Another pig sticker ready for a new home

Out of the sheath

The last puppy has found a home!!!!!!!!

A big thank you to all the people who bought a puppy.  The Pack is now down to a manageable size.   The poop is now significantly reduced also!
What a difference 9 weeks makes.

MMMM rawhidey goodness

Big Doins At The Shop!!

A big bush craft companion and a little skinner  mounted for easy access.

Knife orders are starting to pick up as our customers are letting their friends know about our products.

A long anticipated moment at our shop......

A new 2x72 blade grinder.   Now if the crew at tru-grit could get the belts to us in a timely manner we'd be some blade grinding fools.
A new apprentice showed up the same day as the grinder and started work as soon as safety glasses were procured.  We were impressed, and if he keeps up the good work we'll have enough stock to keep everyone happy.
  I will endeavor to get the knife page updated this weekend.
