Announcement
I am now a full time Knifemaker and taking orders. On the 24th of May, a large group of people, including myself, were laid off by my ex-company. I have thought about and wanted to go full time for years, but was always a little afraid. My ex-company helped me make that decision. I still have a few back orders, so at this time I can't say if I have a four month or six month back order. I've never been able to spend 50 to 60 hours a week in my knife shop. I really have no idea how many knives I can produce in a month. As most of you know, for the last year or so, I have being taking names of people that wanted to order a knife. I have been contacting them for the last week. If you have not heard from me, please contact me at at-barr@att.net. The same goes for anyone that has placed an order. I have received several emails back, due to incorrect email addresses. I have several new knives on my website in the 2 1/2" and 2 15/16" size. Check them out when you have a chance. I did not publish this until now, because I was contacting the people that requested I put them on a waiting list. Right now I can deliver a knife in approximately 3 to 4 months.

Good Luck AT, Hopefully you will be able to stay full time and make a comfortable living. It is tough to get laid off, it happened to me once before and I got lucky and benefited from it. Many knifemakers become full time for that very reason. I (and the rest of the CKD) hope you can turn this into a positive event. Remember all the times you said; "If I were in charge we would do it my way?" You've been around long enough and have been making QUALITY knives long enough to show that "Your Way" in knifemaking is a very good way of doing things. I wish you all the sucess you strive for and that you exceed your needs and goals. |
