Spent this weekend relaxing after last weekend @sy Spent this weekend relaxing after last weekend @sydneyknifeshow. 

Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by at my table to say hello and check out the new prototype Redback V2. The best part of the shows is catching up with all the familiar faces.

Special thank you to those that mentioned they were following along the YouTube videos leading up to the show. I am glad you thought they are worth the effort. 

Lastly thank you to @j.neilsonknives for popping over and checking out my daughters knife and giving her some great feedback. It made her day.

All the parts machined for prototype 2 and 3. I tried out a couple of new tool paths that improved things a bit. 

In the end I even managed to get some more TrussTi keyring prys finished up for the show too.
