Now It's My Turn...
...to eat crow.... :) I just realized while updating my records that I had incorrectly labeled two of my recent offerings. I had the Perforated Prybabies listed as being made of 154CM. That is incorrect. They are made of CPM 154 which is the powder steel version of 154 CM and is a much more premium cutlery version of that steel. Same with the Mini Keytons, not S30v as I had mistakenly labeled them but also CPM 154.
In addition I will be releasing a new version of the Skeeter in a few weeks. It also is in CPM 154. The knife will measure approximately 3 inches in length overall and will have a cord wrapped handle. So sizewise it is similar to the Mini Son of PryThing.

Google Screwed Up!
I just spent quite some time trying to log in to my blog today. The people at Google decided that you have to have a Google account to log in. But the dumbasses did not provide a way to get back into your old account to log out so that the new log in would work. And their instructions were useless, resulting in an hour of head scratching and cursing. I guarantee that 99% of the people in the world using the old blogger accounts can no longer get in and now can't figure out what to do. They will have to set up new accounts probably and abandon their old Blog pages. Talk about a disaster, what the heck is the matter with these idiots? :(
Also the Blogger software is some of the worst I have ever seen. My wife wrote the Phlaunt software which is pretty incredible and well designed. Contrasting the ease of building a Phlaunt website to the nightmare of building a Blogger page it's easy to see why I am frustrated. Oh well, I feel better now. :)

So What Else is New?
Now too much just yet. Will be slogging though the office crap this weekend as my records are a little out of date. This is the part of being in business that is not fun but it has to be done. More knives are in progress though and maybe by end of next week I'll have a little wave of goodies. Hoping to get to more Keytons, possibly a few Sumos and who knows what else...in the meantime I have a couple of odds and ends and will try to get them up on the site this weekend. :)

The Swiss Cheesiest
After mulling over these for about a year I finally decided to do a small run of them. These are the full sized Prybabies in the normal 5/32" thickness but I used 154CM this time instead of S30v. I figured that would provide for a little extra stain resistance and also because that's what Crucible happened to have in stock when I called a few weeks ago... :D LOL, it's a great cutlery steel and I have some little knives coming in it as well. First time I've used it but I'm very pleased with the way it grinds so far and heat treat is very similar to what I'm used to.
BTW, did I mention that these bad boys are light? At 26 grams each they are damn near weightless in your hand yet still quite strong. I beat the crap out of one prying on a wooden pallet with no ill effects and with the corner of the forks easily backed out a sheetrock screw in my bench with no deformation. So I'd say they're good to go. ;)

Heat Treat This Weekend
Will be heat treating this weekend so I finally will have some new stock. A few items may be done as early as Sunday but most will be completed throughout this coming week. There may be some further delays if I decide to do back to back heat treats, but we'll see how much energy I have. This load will have Son of PryThings, a couple Goblins, a few Micro Cards, special Prybabies and a few other little Goodies...so stay tuned. :)
