December Something…

Time just keeps flying by, took a little time with the family but for the most part it was work as usual. I didn’t fall too far behind but here is what has been going on.  Last Friday we rushed to get last minute soap orders out the door along with a couple knives to get them there before Christmas. Then my new Surface Grinder came in in the late evening while we are trying to get packed for the weekend marathon of going and visiting our family. We loaded up all 7 children and drove over 5 hours back home. Stopping in Kansas City to hand deliver a Stakeholder Knife. I was excited to meet Brad F. and we […]

MT Knives News 11/22/13

Time keeps flying by, Send out 36-40 last week and almost finished 41-45 this week. Would be done but I wasn’t felling good at the start of the week and it really set me back. I hope to finish up 46-51 or more next week but we will see with Turkey day fast approaching. I picked up a few pointers from another knife maker on mirror finishes. It is hard to get a good mirror finish but I am getting better at it everyday. Here’s looking at you! 😉

I use calibers to make sure the grind is meeting up equally on both sides. I free hand my grinds. […]

MT Knife News

Well it was a busy week, a lot of catching up from what didn’t get done last week. But some times you have to take that extra time and make sure everything is just right.

I am now officially over 1/3 of the way through the First Limited Edition run. I met with another knife maker this week to pick up some supplies, and to check out the knife he is making for me 😉 I am going to start collecting a knife from every knife maker that have learned from. That was my wife’s idea and I thought it was a good one.

I had a photographer come over and take some photos of some knives and thought I would share […]

It is my goal to be able to finish all 100 knives before the end of the year, and I have been working as many hours as I can. Long days and late nights hopefully I can speed up after I get my new knife grinder that should be arriving next week!

Stakeholder Positions

Stakeholder Positions Now Assigned

I hope everyone can see that I did my best to make this launch successful. However, we did run into some problems. Most everyone was very understanding and supportive.

Given the fact that the huge onslaught of visitors literally crashed my website and the fact that interested persons were told to stay tuned for updates by email, we did what we had to make sure the launch could proceed.

Given the hundreds of interested persons, website or email – there was simply no possible way to make everyone happy. I did the best I could given the situation- regardless what anyone thinks.

I did consult with Jack Spirko and others just before sending out the email (“plan b”) to get second opinions […]
