Good afternoon,

It’s been a busy few days in the workshop. I cleaned the place for the first time in a hot minute. I’m embarrassed at just how bad it got. It’s amazing what a difference in productivity a clean, organized work space makes…

“Clean” is of course a relative term. It’s still a knife shop. We make dust by the bucket full.

Couple of cool pieces on offer this week. Two more rangers in interesting material combinations including a WILD four-segment handle that I’m just surprised I was able to pull off. I was also lucky enough to take an order for a Cubano dagger and blanked a second one out for fun. Not that they’re actually “fun” to build. I HATE grinding daggers. But here’s a nice one for you anyway, using some of that fancy marbled G10 everyone seems to like so much. It’s a very understated black and crimson that looks like the backdrop of every fantasy romance novel cover. The ones with vampires and questionable definitions of things like “consent” that seem to be so popular for reasons I’m not prepared to unpack here in my newsletter.

Buy these knives so I can afford to buy more fake luxury wrist watches to continue to use in the product photos of the knives I build to sell to afford the watches…

Stay safe,

-Alex
