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.

Another big weekend in the workshop getting ready

Another big weekend in the workshop getting ready for @sydneyknifeshow the goal was to have all the blades ground and ready for hand sanding. 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.

Editing up another episode for the run up to Sydney Show videos tonight.

I have been doing a series of videos on YouTube covering the production of my first folder prototype made on my CNC mill in the run-up to the Sydney Show this year. I have just released episode 10 so there is plenty to check out.

First attempt at some 3D surfaces. Looks to be some artifacts in there from the points in the toolpath. It feels smooth to the touch but might need to reduce the stepover a little more.

A little bit of a reveal for a little prybar to be released soon. The TrussTi Keyring Prybar. I have been carrying one on my keyring for the last couple of months and it has pretty much kicked the larger prybar out of my EDC rotation.
