Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 50 - Project updates Media

Published: 11 years ago

Wow 50 weeks already! Time flies. This week I'm pretty sick with the flu so I wasn't in the shop much to film a "cool" video, so I decided to give you guys an idea what sort of upcoming projects we have going on. First up I'm finishing our Tor knives, the 8" fixed blade that we're making. The handles are done and I'm making the blades soon. Then later in December we're going to be working on a batch of 50 Norseman knives! Very excited for that.

Because we have all this production going on I don't want to bore you guys with showing the same type of footage week after week, so I want to bring "Knifemaking Tuesdays" back to the core element behind the idea... Take one day a week and work on something cool and interesting. I'm going to devote my tuesdays to fun projects, prototype work, new knife design, tool building, shop tours, etc. I think it'll be really fun!

I've got a new knife idea in mind that will have an integral handle, meaning it's made from one solid piece of titanium instead of two with a bunch of screws. To do that I had a custom slitting saw made from www.LakeShoreCarbide.com, this will make the job considerably easier. I'm super duper excited for this project, been wanting to make an integral for a long time now.

I'm also starting to build a 2x72 belt grinder! It's going to be a very fun project that will make for perfect "tuesday" footage.

Thanks for watching!
