Taught a knife class today, to a group of dude with zero knife experience.
1) I finally rough calculated the sunk cost of my trainer pile. Ouch. Very ouch.
2) @CompEdgeKnives and @ShivworksReal got some orders coming in.
My first day back in the shop! Here’s a look at what I’ve been working on for the last month. I’m finally semi-functional and getting the next drop started. More details to come! Thanks again for your support 🙏🏻.
The new shop buildout is coming along nicely! I’ve always wanted a gantry crane and now I had the perfect excuse to get one. Was able to get everything moved into place today, and should be operational by next week. The crane will make a fun swing indoor swing set/ climbing rope when the buildout is done.
@CompEdgeKnives Curious what you do with the edge. How does it effect the sharpness pre and post DLC? Do you just grind the DLC off the edge with a diamond hone?
The people have spoken! Thank you for your responses on my last post. I am switching from Cerakote to DLC. There will be no price increase. I’ll have DLC blades available in the next drop 🤙🏻. I tried 4 different DLC applicators and multiple different recipes over the last year, and I’m very happy with how they turned out!
DLC vs Cerakote — which one do you prefer?
DLC (diamond-like carbon) is an ultra-thin coating applied in a vacuum that bonds to the steel at a molecular level. It’s incredibly hard, low-friction, and built for performance.
Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that’s sprayed on and oven-cured. It’s thicker and offers a wide range of colors and finishes.
DLC = max performance
Cerakote = max customization
There will be no price increase for DLC.
What are you choosing?
@CompEdgeKnives That’s an awesome blade that would go great with my split chest rig. I’ll keep my fingers crossed, but as with all of these drawings, I fear my entering only increases everyone else’s odds🥲
