Ok, I'm just plain bragging but someone is bound to be happy for me!! I had three maybes turn into knife orders over night bringing the daily total to 5 for yesterday!!! Up to this, my best was 4 in a week!

To top it off, I might have a store that wants to take me on consignment late summer! I guess I'm going to be busy for the next several nights!

That's great news! Do you have a web site to show and sell your knives?

Great news! It can be gratifying (and kind of scary) when something you make by hand becomes in demand.

Yeah, good job Camp! Always nice to see someone make some money at something they enjoy doing.

Hope its just the start of good things in knife making for you.

Had to swim out on their own - no bailing that boat!

WELL DONE! That's hard to do in this market too! I know I jump up and down if I get ONE sale a week...to have 5 in a day ROCKS! Good job!

Thanks guys! I'll post pics as I finish them. I profiled the 3 stainless ones this afternoon. I have one leather stacked handle to forge and a folder. I'll save the folder for last because they are a pain. I've only been doing one ar two a week for quite a while now and this was a surprise!

You know, now that I know that you make and sell knives, I'm gonna have to see some of your work. My husband has been wanting to get a second knife for our hiking trips. (his military issue is a great knife, I just don't know that it's the best for what we would use it as.) Wish I would have asked you about that BEFORE I bought my fist one! LOL!

I can e-mail you some pictures if you are interested. I am only "word of mouth" so I cant just send you to a web site...yet.

Trabitha - I know you've got links in your sig, but do you want your email posted in the open forum? Every spam bot on the planet looks for stuff like that.

Ok, the stainless knives are nearly done now. I plan to sandblast the blades and guards so I left them at a 80 grit finish. The funny looking blob on the bench is a piece of cable I forged into a billet and will make the folder blade from it. That is next week's knife...along with the leather handled utility.

These are all CPM S30V steel. The brass guard and the one with no guard are both cocobola and the stainless guard is bocote.

I was given a small piece of bocote and cocobola today - plus some oak and cherry. I might have to take a break from the micarta.

I like the micarta you make/use!! I havnt found anything worthy of the piece you sent to me but I will have to get it onto a knife soon.
