(taking a sip of coffee) Ahh Old picture - A JGT II in the making Well lets get to it. Today the plan is to make knives like a maniac. I've had a week away from the shop, due to some unexpected obstacles (I cut myself in the hand..) but that seems to be healing just fine, so now it is back to the grinder. I have a whole bunch of bushcrafters on order, so that is what you will see mostly for the next month. I hope it wont scare you away if you not into bushcrafting.  Wish you...

I have completet 10 blades so far, still some work to do, but it is getting there. This is a custom order some really awesome guys here in Denmark, the world would not be the same without them.  I am only going to make the blades, and then they want to put the handle on by themselves, so it is all metal work for me.
