More Anodizing Fun
These were a blast to do! The Splash Anodizing is a rather tedious process but the results are really cool. Well worth the extra effort I think. Each piece is totally unique and I tried to make the patterns as crazy as possible. Good stuff. Because it is time consuming there is a very limited number available so I'd like to keep it to one per customer.Will be putting the batch on the site tomorrow along with some plain Bermuda Triangles with stonewash...

Something on the Side
Every once in a while a little project not related to my stuff comes up that is worth doing. Recently such an opportunity presented itself. Those not familiar with the amazing flashlights of Don McLeish should certainly check out candlepowerforums.com and see for yourself what the King of Custom Flashlights is all about.This is a sneak preview of one of Don's upcoming LunaSols:This was a one off project, not doing any others. These flashlights will...

SharkBite
Here's what the SharkBite tool will look like. A nifty little item with multiple uses. Kind of like the Bike Tool but scaled down to just 3 inches long so it's more pocketable and geared more towards general EDC functions. I also think of it as sort of an enhanced Generation Two Keyton. These are close to 3/16" thick and are made of S30v so they are rather beefy.This is one that I finished up this afternoon for the picture but it will be going into...

Production Update
Here's what on the menu this week: I have some Bike Tools that I will start the finish work on tomorrow but I am lacking bits for most of them so it will be Monday night at the earliest before the whole batch will be ready. I have to put in the order for bits tomorrow and they will be delivered in the afternoon on Monday.I just cut more Bermuda Triangles today and so they will be delayed until Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest. I have a rather large batch of these coming.I have a couple dozen Crawdaddies going into heat treat tomorrow. Also...
Never Get Enough
I'm going to be trying something new this winter. I've decided to make an enormous batch of maybe two or three items. I'm talking huge. Many hundreds, maybe a thousand if I can stand the monotony. I think this might finally allow me to keep just one or two things on the site. In the past I've tried to make so many things that batches tended to be small. Lately the hard core collectors snap everything up in a short time and many folks never even see the sale. I've enjoyed this immensely for many reasons not the least of which is because with smaller...

Rested Tanned and Ready
Well, I'm rested yes, ready maybe, tanned definitely not. LOL, I'm gearing up to do some grinding over the next week and should have some new batches of tools starting in a week or two.In the works I have: Some more Bike Tools, Bermuda Triangles, G2 Gasbabies, G2 Basic Prybabies, a few Keytons, and a brand new tool called the SharkBite which will be closely followed by a smaller compact version called the Nibble. Pics coming soon... And I have other projects on the drawing board. I'm accumulating materials and finalizing designs right now. So won't...
