How Can I Buy an Atwood Tool?

I just had two dozen and that's the end of them. Thank you very much folks.I thought I had more basic Keytons left than I do so probably not going to do the sale of those today after a...

Basic Mini Keytons
I'm telling you, Santa's elves have been working overtime here at the Atwood workshop. :) I have finally gotten a chance to finish a big batch of Mini Keytons. These are the Basic ones in S30v steel. None were cut in titanium this time around and with all the new stuff I have planned I seriously doubt if I will be making any more Keytons in this size in any material. So this is probably the end of them. These are sold out for now. Will have the rest...

G4 Metric Prybabies®
Alright, this is the Metric version of the G4 Prybaby® tool. Same exact features as the American version below but featuring 6 decimal sizes in 2mm increments, 6-16mm. The tool features the distinctive "M" as part of the lanyard hole to easily distinguish it from its American cousin. It has been brought to my attention that only three of the wrench sizes correspond to common Metric wrench sizes. So in future editions I will redesign the opening to...

G4 Prybabies
Hi Folks,Well at long last I have some of the new S30v steel G4 Prybabies finished. These are identical to the G3 series but have the addition of a screwdriver tip on the rear end of the tool. They are 3 1/2" overall length. At first I thought they might seem a bit too long but they actually are a very nice size in the hand so I'm pleased. I'm also very pleased with the finish on these. Hard to photograph, but they have a smooth, almost buttery,...

Release this Week?
Things are looking good for some big tool batches late this week! If things go as planned there will be Mini Keytons, the new longer G4 Prybabies and a few other odds and ends from maybe Thursday or Friday and on through the weekend. I got word they are through heat treat and getting a fine semi polish tumble right now. It has taken many weeks and I went through a lot of extra steps it seems like with these batches but they are finally almost ready. :) G4 is what I decided to call the new longer Prybabies to make a distinction from the shorter,...

Fancy Ti Gasbabies
OK, I had a few of these flat titanium Gasbabies left from a big batch and I thought I'd play a little with my new Helter Skelter patterning. As a couple of people have said, it has a quality that reminds you of the patterns of light that you see at the bottom of a swimming pool on a sunny day. The Spectrum anodizing really works well with it too. Neat little wallet pieces and at just .060 thick they seem almost weightless. I have 18 of these available...

G3 Titanium Prybabies
Happy Post Turkey Day! Hope everyone had a good day and are on the road to gastric recovery. :)I finished a batch of the G3 Prybabies this morning. The green G2s were so popular that I thought I'd do some of the G3s in green as well. The G3s are not a limited edition although I do not have a whole lot of them this time around. Another batch will probably happen at some point in the winter. At any rate, these are running $70 each plus shipping.Sold...

In Grinding Mode
Just wanted to pass along an update. I'll be done with grinding and cleanup of all the extended G3 Prybabies this morning including both the metric and American versions. Unfortunately the heat treater is closed all week next week so it will take some time to get these through the last steps. However, I have some other stuff to grind as well and so I'll have a really big batch of stuff to send to them by the end of next week. Will be lots of little things for December...I'll get back to the sheaths in a few days as well, just as soon as this grinding...

DLC Whistle Lottery
So, moving right along. ;) How about this DLC coated, high voltage patterned, one of a kind stainless steel whistle? This piece is quite unique and is one of the very few Atwood whistles with no knurling that have ever been made. There is no name stamp. Pretty neat stuff and it took that patterning rather nicely, shows up better in person than my picture conveys.Anyway, for those not following sports, the New England Patriots will be playing the...

Metric Prybaby Sneak Peek
Here's a little sneak peek at the upcoming metric G3 Prybaby®. I have two versions, one SAE and one metric. The SAE version has the usual round lanyard hole and the metric has a distinctive "M" shaped lanyard hole for quick and definitive identification. :)I just started grinding these yesterday so it will be at least two weeks or so before they are completed. But the good news is they are finally in the works....total length on these is 3.5" so...

I had a set back last week when the bearings on my grinder finally gave out. I had been meaning to replace them for some time and had replacements on hand. However, when I actually got the thing apart I discovered that the drive shaft was worn out so had to order another one. Got it over nighted and did the rebuild yesterday. Now I'm working on getting a batch of the new WildCard knives ready to send to heat treat. Should be ready to send off by tomorrow.

It is made of slightly thinner 1/8" stock and the steel is 420 stainless, OAL is 5.25 inches and blade length is a very fat 2 inches. I used a lesser grade of steel to see how the design would feel in the hand and to test the cord wrap channels before going to the more expensive and thicker S30v. The knife is V ground with false edge grinds. Comes with a kydex sheath and...
