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!
