Good morning,

To reiterate – We’re not attending Bladeshow this year. Lauryn is up in Alaska doing her thing and I have a conflicting engagement at work. But did I build knives for you guys? Absolutely. We’re running a show special and everything. The promo code is NWK50 and no, I am not going to tell you how long it will be active. It won’t be long. Buy what you want immediately.

                So what’s on the chopping block? No new models to bore you with. We’re playing our greatest hits over here. Rangers, Malinois, Echoes, and a couple other mismatched tidbits. The blasted ironwood thing is REALLY hot, and I threw in some jigged bone for you guys too. I also messed around with some different texturing techniques (the scalloped handles) that I got better results from than I expected. If you’re the type of person that likes heavy aggressive texturing on your pistols, you’re gonna love these knives. Get excited. Because I know someone will ask me, the Wind Horse is just a guarded Malinois, in the same way the Sojourn is the same pattern as the Mule with a guard. I don’t mean to be reductive. Just showing a little transparency.

It may be a couple of weeks before I get the chance to be back in the shop so if you want to scratch the new knife itch, the time is now. For further clarification – the NWK50 discount code will also apply to any existing knives in inventory. Buy them all.

                That’s all I have for you my friends, it’s a beautiful rainy Friday here in Kansas City and I have laundry to do so this shift briefing will have to lack my usual ramblings. I hope those of you attending Bladeshow next weekend have a blast without us, as always. Take lots of photos, eat good food, enjoy cigars and whiskey in The Pitt, and avoid standing too close to Matt Martin. He doesn’t like it.

Stay safe,

-Alex
