keep track of what I’m up to

I don’t often foray into the world of the Japanese sword. I’m alert enough to the nuances of their form to understand that an attempt to faithfully execute them without deep, dedicated study would result only in something disrespectful. But every now and then I get the chance to dip my toes in, respectfully, but on my own terms. Such is my good fortune today, as I come off the grinder with this 20.5”/52cm damascus wakizashi. #mastersmith #wakizashi #damascussteel #samurai

Y’all, it would be fair to say that I have been a very, very busy boy. Here’s my annual shot of the inventory I’ll have with me at the 91st Annual Craftsmen’s Fair at Mount Sunapee in Newbury New Hampshire from August 3-11! I’ll be in my usual spot in Tent 6. Looking forward to seeing you there! #newhampshire #newhampshirelife #sunapee #craftfair

Big fella! This is a 12” chef in Raindrop (also sometimes called Pool & Eye) damascus steel with Arizona ironwood burl, micarta, and brass. Really happy with this one. #chef #cooking #damascussteel #mastersmith

“Birthday activities.” Picked up 35 liters of frosty liquid nitrogen, which I use to cryogenically treat my stainless steel knives. Done after plate quenching from very high temperatures, this additional step squeezes another couple points of hardness out of the steel. #liquidnitrogen #cryogenic #cryogenics #craftsmanship

Now we’re cooking with gas. And, equally importantly, without! This is my new @hot_shot_ovens kiln, which is equipped with an argon inlet. Argon is a fairly heavy, inert gas, and injecting into the kiln will purge the oxygen out, which will permit me to heat treat stainless steel parts (i.e. knives) without oxidizing (i.e. ruining) them, and without individually foil-wrapping each one (which is the worst). Very excited! #heattreatment #heattreating #stainlesssteel #science

A sweet little piece I snagged for myself at Blade Show, by Curt @freehillblades . I just dig his lines, and I think sweet little knives are criminally under-appreciated. #collection #edcgear #koa #sanmai
