Such is the life of a knifemaker...

...a never ending cycle of projects, special runs and parts!

This week I worked on several projects at the same time: I hand ground 50+ blades for Hogue and worked on a special series of knives for Dave Stark of Steel Addiction.

Hogue and I started a collaboration a little less than a year ago. The knives were unveiled at the Shot Show and started shipping this week. For the upcoming Blade Show they needed some special blades ground that our regular grinding house would not be able to get to on time so I stepped in. I will dedicate a whole post to Hogue/Elishewitz Extreme knives next week with lots of photos and information.

Regarding the knives I am working on right now: Dave Stark wanted a limited run of Mini Tanks and regular size Tanks for his website. Some of the knives will have the original tanto blade and some others the drop point blade. As you can see in the picture there are several handle configuration. More on these in a few days...

Boy am I tired!

Just a flesh wound

I have been grinding a bunch of blades for the past couple of days. Some for myself and others for Hogue. We are both frantically trying to get ready for the Blade Show. Not only did I get a blister but I picked up a really hot blade which burned my skin until it was white and crispy. I can not wait to see the end of these blades so I can hurt myself on something different.LOL

Welcome to my blog!

I created this blog in hopes to be able to share information with my collectors and friends. Here I'll be able to keep more of a journal of what is happening in the shop and in my life in general. I am planning to post pictures, videos and more information that is possible to keep on my website.

So let's go ahead in this new adventure (and bear with me as I have no idea how to do this blog thing ;-))....
