Will anybody (first 12) mind if their number changes? I'm asking because I'm thinking that it might not make much sense to do the next knife and label it as #9 when it's actually #5, know what I mean? What do you guys think?

Well, I think I am number nine... I don't mind provided 5-8 don't. Though now that I think about it, Naughty Number Nine kicks Number Five's @ss. :wink:
You are #9 Ben and your knife is ground and scales are prepped.

I am number 10 and I don't care what number is on it. Though ten is a nice looking number

You might stay the same.....well maybe.
I'm at the tail end anyway, so it porbably won't affect me.
If you gotta change it...that's ok.

I'm not sure if you'll be affected or not Dave, it would be nice to thin that I can get that far into it that quickly though.

WooHoo!!! :bliss:
Wait. No no. Can't get excited. Causes days to pass too slowly...
Hey your knife got some extra special lovin' too.....tapered tang baby! Oh yeah she's gonna balance nicely me thinks.
Yeah baby!....just like Downtown!! :happymug:
You're outta control, Martell. :bladesmith:

I love the look of tapered tangs and in this case it should add function as well by taking weight out of the handle area which is important on a thin knife that has ironwood scales. If it works out I'll continue to do this with the rest.

Sweet!
I'm getting much faster at many of the processes involved so it shouldn't be all that long until I hit #21.
Hey Ben, I'm holding your knife aside while I'm waiting for some smaller diameter pinstock to arrive this week. Just don't want you checking your email every 10 min waiting on me.

What? Like I would compulsively check a thread or email all hours of the day and night looking for updates? I mean, it's been a whole 15 minutes since you posted this before I responded!
Hey I get it and understand.
The first suji is #8 knife that will be started once I receive the handle material from the customer.

Hey Dave,
Hate to distract you from getting everyone's knives done but could you tell me what number knife I have. It'll be like the countdown to Xmas :biggrin:
Excellent work so far
