    Default I make knives too

    I do the knives and sheaths.

    Funny thing, this intersection of bike racing and knife making.

    Very nice. I use knives daily in work and training. I tend to look at them more as tools and don't generally get to worked up about looks. But I can also appreciate good craftsmanship, and your knives are very nice. I like.

    You know you're semi-good looking...

    Thanks for the nice things y'all said. I spent all my time in the music room, in fact. I tried to make my first knife two summers ago and it was the first thing I've really invested some time in learning how to make in the physical realm. I'm a musician by training and education, and a physical and utilitarian thing such as a knife is a great contrast to a piece of sound. It would be a long time before I'd be able to get to making any knives. The small wait list I have is unfortunately about 3 years long. I'm trying to be realistic when someone asks for one. Things might change quickly if I can get a big chunk of time freed up that I can dedicate to making these things.

    So how does the 20 watt Weber sound? I have thought about taking a crack at one of their 5F1 kits.
