What a great comeback after not having shows for the last couple of years. @sydneyknifeshow was a huge success with a massive increase in numbers through the doors. I am left with an empty knife case so I will have to jump into the workshop and get cracking on some more things to fill it up again. It was great to see a bunch of familiar faces, new faces and people I have only chatted to online. Thank you to everyone that picked something up and sorry to those that missed out.

I usually run my bandsaw in a vertical orientation. It has been years probably since I ran it horizontally. I didn’t realise how out of alignment the blade had gotten. A new blade and a few minutes of adjustment made a huge difference to the quality of cutting off these blanks.

A slip joint I recently finished up as a demo knife for the folder classes I run down @tharwavalleyforge I am still getting my hands dirty on occasion but definitely could do with hitting the workshop more often.

Great to see people adding the TrussTi prybar to their EDC. So lightweight you will barely notice you are carrying it too.

TrussTi prybar Misfit 0003.

The Misfit prybars are the first four serial numbered prybars made during the beginning of the production process. After making the initial pocket clips I redesigned the clips to better suit the prybars. However this meant the first four off the production run wouldn’t be able to accept the pocket clips. I have been using them to trial different finishes and was super happy with this flame anodised result.

Initially conceived as a test bed for some features in Titanium the TrussTi quickly became a production run as I shared the initial concept and progress on the CNC. Features such as the serial number engraving will continue to be used in my future products.
