whew...that was one hell of a busy week. I am preparing for my first international knifeshow which will be in Paris on the 2.nd and 3rd October. I will mainly bring folders. I started Monday and this is the result so far....gonna make at least just as many more. What you see is Amok, Kaos, Rebel and Rocklobster folders. Mixed with both linerlocks and framelocks. Still need about an hours work on the Rocklobsters. Drill some holes etc....will be done tonight..........next week will be for Gekkos, Mini Rocklobster, Mini Amoks and some new designs too...

Hi Jens,
Long way from when you made my damasheep and damaclaw, huh?! By the way I saw 2 of your knives in Tactical Knives lates isse (the one with the M21 CRKT on the cover) one was a Kaos modela sorry I forgot the name of the other one. It was in the centre fold with a bunch of other knives. they looked real good though. __________________ Jerry Oksman ~ Cogito Cogito Ergo Cogito Sum ~

Good Grief! That would be about a year's production for me. How the heck do you crank these things out? It takes me a couple of days to do a knife from start to finish and even then it usually needs a few more hours.

well. I made 4-6 /day....chose the same model and started by scribing patterns on titanium and steel bars....then just did repeated steps on all the parts to save changing setup on the tools and to get into a rythm.....and then ofcourse work from 8am to 10pm..
