One again, I am a couple of days late getting my newsletter posted. August 1st was a busy day for me as I worked in the shop most of the day and then our daughter Tara, husband Chuck and son Aidan arrived to spend the weekend with us. August 1st is Tara’s birthday, so we had a cookout with most of our family here on Saturday to celebrate. A good time was had by all, I believe.
I’ve been working on knives for the A.G. Russell Knife Show. I’ve built two hunters with W-pattern damascus and am working on a bowie with a W-pattern variation blade. The hunters have been posted on the gallery page. I should have the bowie finished in a few days and will post it when completed. I am planning to start on a folding dagger next. Barring any disasters, I expect to have the dagger finished for the Russell show. I’ve got a carbon steel bowie in the works that will have a clay tempered blade and I would also like to get a couple of carbon steel hunters finished. We’ll see……..
We held the first meeting of the Kansas Custom Knifemaker’s Association on July 26th. The meeting went very well and organization of the association is progressing nicely. We currently have 26 members in three states. We have members looking into designing a web site and also a logo for the association. I am working on getting us set up as a not-for-profit organization and will also work on writing our by-laws. We will hold the next meeting on October 5th, in Wichita, KS. Place and time to be determined yet.
