Hook Knives, Open Sweep, and Sloyd Knives: These are our most popular tools - so there is a waiting list.
Please call or email us with your tool needs, and we will happily put you in the queue. This is the best way to get your tools "sooner as opposed to later". To wait until we "catch up" only puts you further behind, as customers continue to place their orders, being put in the queue.

Harley and Stubby Knives: We are caught up on backorders for these tools, and usually have some on hand for new orders. However - they do sell quickly. If we happen to be sold out at the time the order is placed - - and depending on what stage production is in at the time the order is placed - there may be up to a 3 week wait time. This timeline can vary (meaning sooner).

Kolrosing and Detail knives: We have in stock.

All other products - DVD's, Sharpening supplies, cutouts, books etc: We have all these in stock and ready to ship.

**Check out our new compact folding saws - these babies are SHARP and cut limbs/wood with ease!! Exc. for spoon blank gathering, pruning, camping etc. Highest quality construction & stay sharp!

For those customers who are presently waiting for your order to come up - Here is where we are at:

Harley/Stubby Knife Orders:  We are officially caught up on all backorders on these tools!!! Yeah!!
{Note: For folks who have a Harley or Stubby knife order that is combined with hook or sloyd knives - those tools still need to be made.}

All Hook knives, Regular and Short Slojd:  We are presently caught up on orders placed up until March 11th, 2012. We are starting a new batch which will catch us up to March 20th, and should be completed by May 18th or so.

Hollowing tools, Skinny, straight, extra long Sloyds; :  We are presently not taking orders for these, until we catch up on all backorders. We will post on our website when we are producing these tools again.

Kolrosing and Detail knives: Have in stock.

DVD's, cutouts, strops, sharpening supplies etc. we have in stock ready to ship.

***Thanks to everyone for your tremendous patience and support through all this! It has been quite a journey.
Del & Mary

April 12, 2012 - For those currently waiting for tools I thought you'd get a kick out of seeing them in process (here for example are Harley Knives shown hanging on stainless wire) they've just come from rough grinding and are ready to move on to the digital high-temp austenizing salt furnace (for hardening).  This second pic shows a typical batch I do for the heat treating processes, it is shown after the martempering and tempering in the low-temp salt baths - and just after they have been washed. Next comes the most time consuming part - all the stages of grinding, polishing, handle making, fitting, epoxying, touch-up, final sharpening, testing, and sheath making - then.......finally on over to my darling Mary to pass on to you! Del         In the left two boxes are various Hook knives, Harleys and Short Sloyds in the third, Sloyds on the right.
