Hey guys! Quick pop in!
First and foremost, I must again apologize for the Grind In! I feel like one of those crazy blacksmith guys, "strike while the iron is hot!"...... I just wish my iron weren't completely, and wholly on fire!!! The new job has engulfed almost all of my free time for a few months now. This will be coming to an end within the next month or so..... And I will actually get some free time! For me free time=shop time!! I just wish everything hadnt gone so well, all at once!
as a lot of you know, I turned off orders a few months back. They will remain off for the foreseeable future. How it works is pretty simple. I have projects that I require closure on. Between dealer orders, a special project, and the completion of the Gen 1 PACK project, I have too much on my plate. All these projects, excluding the special, exclusive project for US Defense Solutions, will be complete by September 30. At that point, I will be focusing on any outstanding orders (Grunt, you still out there, buddy??!!). After THAT, I will be pretty much just making cool stuff based off current models. That stuff will be sold one of a few ways, as I don't plan to open orders. They will sold via INGO or USN. Via the website. Via Facebook. Or if I had an interested party during or close to a build, I may contact them.... Especially on knives of limited availability.
The exception is donation knives. I have always made donations to good causes a priority, and will continue to. Habit for humanity, relay for life, ducks unlimited, white tails, turkey fed, fundraisers for the fallen, ect take a huge step to the front for us. Period. But I require ample time and cannot donate every time. Sorry.
As for me, things are crazy but good! Our youngest just turned 1. Oldest is playing football again, and my daughter is about to start a new year of gymnastics. I have also been approached by some leaders in my day job to take even more responsibility in the coming months. My out of town work is looking to lighten up around October 15 or so.... Hopefully! Lol!
i plan to be around, more, soon! As always, if you need me, feel free to contact me! Here, email, call, text... Whatever! I may be slow to respond, but I will at my first chance!!!
