It would be safe to say that I have been busy. In about a week and a half I’ll load in to my usual spot in Tent 6 at Mount Sunapee for the @leagueofnhcraftsmen Annual Craftsmen’s Fair. If you would like to see a selection of available work, there is no better opportunity than this. The fair runs from August 1-9, and I’ll be there daily from 10am-5pm. Come say hi! #craftshow #handmade #giftideas #foodies #huntingknives

Sharpening one knife is not a lot of work. Sharpening 70 knives is a lot of work.

AVAILABLE: This is Mountain Shadow, an imposing, 39” sword. The 33” hollow/saber ground blade is made from 147,600 layer damascus steel, and the 6” hilt is blued steel and claro walnut with silver accents. The total weight is ~1260g, with a balance point about 7.5” in front of the guard. I call it a Nepalese cavalry saber because I based the blade on my style of kukri, but if we want to stick with historical typologies it is more properly a yataghan blade mounted in a kilij-esque hilt.

If you’re in New England and you’d like to see my work, there is no better opportunity than this event. I’ll be at the mountain from 10-5 daily between August 1 and 9, at my usual location in tent 6.
