Sold out of leather sheaths while I was checking out, but otherwise success!!

Ah so that's what was missing from the confirmed order!
Had one in the cart but like you they sold out by the time it took me to checkout. Now I now what was item was missing, thanks! :)

Oh wow! So succesful that the site has been down for the last 10min, I could add a sheath but since then all I can get is an error page after a few minutes of wait :)

Edit: And it went back online, allowing me to grab one.

My plan is to use CBN stones to sharpen it, though I may have to get an additional one to cover a gap I have between 400 and 1000 grit (I'm not sure how the edge would react to such a jump in size) Now, my understanding is that edge retention is mad and I shouldn't have to sharpen it until some time...

Today I kept my seax in my pocket: https://i.postimg.cc/tg80kg7B/IMG-4770.jpg It's a custom from an ukrainian blacksmith who mostly works with his own crucible steel.

Thanks for the tips!
I'll try to play then, but most likely for a single one since it's mostly for the uniqueness factor (and FOMO...)

Cheers,

Oh cool, the time zone makes it a 5PM event here so I'll give it a try :) Are there things to know WRT ordering one, like "add to your cart and rush to pay before someone else does" or is it just about adding the blade (or 2) and then I can just take my sweet time to add more stuff to it? ...

Oh wow, well done Robin! This thread is a nice gift, thank you for this and Happy Birthday! :) I guess you'll need proper grinding equipment if you plan to touch the blades as well, but I wonder if you've been using any power tools for the scales or just rasps and sandpaper? We're in the process of ...

Have a couple packages on the way: one with a B&W Manix 2 GPKnives exclusive, and another with a yellow Atlantic Salt and a SPY27 Mule Team 2.
Should be delivered soon now, it's a customs matter at this point...

Hi Everyone! (first post here, happy to meet you all!) I recently found a nice storage box, so I've been gathering my knives around the house. (I tend to leave them everywhere and my other half likes to store them in random drawers) Today's find was my Janisong, which I ended up playing with the who...
