Kingwood knife handle

One of the mystery wood handles in today’s name game on Facebook was kingwood. When I sanded it down it had a beautiful purple color, and a hard, tight grain. Because it was so hard, I had to use fresh abrasives to keep from burning the wood.

The thing I like about this kingwood is the way that is shows the grain of the wood. Synthetic handle materials are great; they’re durable and they come in a variety of shapes and colors and patterns, but there’s something about a natural wood handle that is really just nice to see and a pleasure to work with.

Beyond Razor Sharp

I’ve had several requests and comments about my sharpening video (Beyond Razor Sharp )that was recently successfully funded on kickstarter. I’m making a pre-order offer for those of you who missed out on the kickstarter. While the video is still in production, my preorder offer is $25. Once the video is produced, the cost will be $25 plus shipping.

I know some people will want to just purchase the material now and forget about it until the DVD arrives in the mail or the digital download is available. But for those who prefer to wait to purchase the product until we’re finished with the production, here is a […]

The General Update 02LE Knives

Hey folks,

Patrick here with MT Knives, and it’s time to give you guys the low down on the progress of the long-awaited Limited Edition Knives.

The Generals
A handful of the knives are out to the stakeholders already, and a few more are ready to send out the door today. However, the rollout on these knives has been a little slower than we would all like. Basically, there’s two reasons for that.

Number one, as picky as I was about quality on the first set of stakeholder knives, I’m being even more ruthless with the second run of my limited edition knives. I’ve been taking more time for additional training during the […]

MT Knives is Doubling Its Workforce

Work is really picking up around here! I have been wanting to get some help for quite some time. It is hard to find the right person for the job. However, after working last week with my new intern, I think the search is over, at least for the summer.  I would like to introduce my new intern for the summer, Eli Hansen. Eli is a seventeen-year old home school student from southeastern Minnesota, and he is interested in a business career. I invited him to come spend some time here and offered to teach him what I could about starting a business and making really cool knives. He came down to visit last week, and we really hit it off.
