Hosted Chris Cristian Goodman for a class today. Chris designed the knife and we made it from some 1095 high carbon steel. For a handle he snagged my prized pieces from Robert Eichin at R.E. Customs. It was a hot day in the shop, but boy did we have fun!!! , , , ,

Had a small piece of 5160 spring steel (new, not recycled) laying around asking for a beating. So I smacked this one out.. Forged Karambit. Will get a black G10 handle that I'll probably flint chip it. Hot punched and drifted the finger loop, then cleaned up with a Foredom.

Prayer warriors pray for Erwin. We met Erwin on the streets of Antigua today. He has battled drugs and alcohol for many years and says he would like to clean up and get off the streets. We fed and prayed for and over Erwin today. I don't have the resources to do more than that. We have reached out to some locals and are awaiting further information. So lift him up to get clean and sober and for the Holy Spirit to give him eyes to see and ears to hear and to aid in his sobriety. , , , ,
