Don't rush on my account. Family first and my deepest condolences.
 
Sorry for your loss, Ross

Don't rush on my account. Family first and my deepest condolences.


Thanks guys. Difficult time for the family, but amazing how it also brings everyone together. I come from a rather large but close family as it is, but amazing how with time the family disperses and everyone gets on with their lives, and then something happens and you all get brought back together and reminded.
 
Deepest prayers and condolences for your loss, family first.

Thanks for the pics and update.
 
Condolences and prayers Ross! If waiting on this knife causes any grief for anyone, we need to buy more knives. Take your time and when they are done, they are done.
 
Would love to see a pic of the finished product with sheath

It’s just a knife. It’ll get here when it gets here. Focus on your family and your mental health.

Forgot the picture of where we are at with the rest of the batch.

Hand sanding mostly, either the blades or the handles.

Man, everyone needs to relax and quit hounding him. This whole thing started in April. And knives are already shipping. Many custom knives take much longer. I don’t want my custom, quality made stuff rushed.

No stress bud, I don't feel like I'm being hounded. I just like to let everyone know what's happening. I always prefer that I offer an update, good or bad, rather than have people chase me for info. Just how i prefer to do things.

The updates are great, very cool to see the project progress in pictures. Great job!
 
Sorry for the delay in updates everyone, unfortunately have had a death in the family to deal with, and its meant that I haven't been able to get it done as fast as I would like.

But here is some progress updates:

Gun bluing and oiling under way

the wider image also shows the rest of this weeks workload:

Also been pushing hard on the sheaths. My Mrs has been a huge help here. Couldn't be doing this without her help

And then today I got the kydex sheaths started on them as well

I was hoping to get these 11 done and sent out this week, as I'm going away for a week on Monday. However, with all that's been going on I'm not going to be able to hit that goal. I don't want to rush them, I want them to be as close to perfect as I can get them.

So, here is an updated plan of action.

Im going to continue to push hard until I leave on Monday, then go away for the week, clear my head, and come back the following Monday and hit it hard. All things being equal, all I will have to do that week is sheaths for the whole batch of 20, and then I can send them all out one time, so everyone should be getting their AH Knives roughly at the same time.

Hope this suites everyone, and sorry it has taken me a little longer than I expected to get them all done. But I dont want to compromise on quality, and if I do say so myself, these are coming out awesomely!

Once again, thanks for the support from everyone, its been huge and humbling to have so many willing to support us!

Ross
So sorry for your loss !!!
 
So sorry for your loss.

Let me say that I've personally seen two of these knives and leather sheaths in person, and they are more beautiful and well executed than the pictures show. Really extraordinary.

I am kicking myself now that I didnt get one. Maybe down the road. Or I will just get sticky fingers the next time I am at @Goose Cracker's house. :)
 
Just bumping this back up to the 1st page. Wishing you all the best Ross and hoping the family is getting back to normalization.
