    too whom it may concern in INGO land!

    my shop time has been limitied the past few months, but i have been lucky the past few weeks. i have knocked out a few orders for INGOers this week. i hope you guys like your gear!

    i still have standing orders with the following:

    jclarke (custom, in the WIP)
    jsharon (a knife based off of the stonewashed drop point)
    AirbornePFC (tanto)
    whipfinish (RAZEL styled)
    gruntsoldier (fatboy tanto, thick stock)


    if i have missed you, please feel free to post here... i nuked a bunch of PM's at one time, and might have lost the commo.


    the folder prototype is coming along GREAT! the lock face is going to need so carbide, on the proto, but everything else is pretty spot on. i hope to be able to send a HUGE batch to heat treat after BLADE show, the first week in June... including the folder blades, most of the INGO orders, and a bunch of other stuff. i am also sourcing material for the projects that i don't have them for, at blade. the thicked steel, more handle materials, and some seriously classy woods and exotics.

    the first run of folders should be done by years end, and the testing should be in full swing soon.... they will all be very basic, with basic handle treatments. g10 over Ti liner lock. the clip is still up in the air.

    anyhow. that is a quick and dirty look at where my hobby and excitement stands. i thank everyone for their patience. i know i tell everyone at time of order that i work slowly. i like things as perfect as i can get them. and this is not something i do for money, but for fun.... some work and family must take precidence... and to everyone who has trusted me with their money, i thank you. i appreciate that, and hope you throughly enjoy your knives!

    thank you.

    joe

    Hey grunt it will be worth the wait. Cubby is a typical artist and when he wants to make something special it turns out nice and worth the wait.

    lol no worries releo i just like to mess with him. he told me up front no idea when it would be done and that is fine, plus i asked for a steel he didn't have at the time instead of going with what was on hand, and i am sure it will be worth the wait :) but damn if this wait isn't killing me

    cubby if you need some money for the steel i can send you partial payment for the knife if you would like


    lol and those umbrella drinks will cause you to forget :)


    no money till the knife is done, my friend! bad woogies, taking people cash up front. never know what may happen between now and the finished knife, for me or you.

    the third one down is spoken for. it is actually an upsized Pikal Mariner for releo-37. bigger than my last set.... but it is set up all wrong for most knife tasks.... aside from ending an attackers life, with proper training.
