Quiet - what are you working on these days?
I took a long break and only worked on a few knives off hours to amuse myself. Finding I had enough heat treated stuff sitting, I've been going at them to find them a new home. Currently working on a batch of fixed blades. Some hunters at the moment.
Pic of the ones ready to be have the name etched: What is on your routine these days? Even if it isn't making knives or buying them. __________________ Mike Last edited by M&J; 12-03-2022 at 11:46 PM. Reason: pic update |

Epoxied these up the other night. It has been in the low 50's so the epoxy was not cured as expected in 24 hours.

Finished packing and loading up truck for Blade Show. Hoping to get checked in and table set up by noon to stay out of the I-75 "parking lot" that leads to my house.
All of you heading to the show - I hope you have safe travels and enjoy the chaos. Stop by and see me at Table 5-J if you get a chance. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

Had a good day, busy most of the time and crowds stayed pretty consistent. Back at it again in a few hours. Hope everyone has a good day. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

Luckily I have AC in my finish shop, so a place to let the sweat dry and put some finished forged blades together. Been steamy hot here as well.
Spent most of day yesterday running chainsaw to rough out slabs of handle material from the neighbor's red bud. Beautiful wood when finished same colors as in lignum vitae - yellows, greens, and browns. Some with really good figure. Now got to trim it up, wax the ends and rack for curing out. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |
