Happy New Year Everyone!

We extend a sincere thank you to all our customers for the incredible support in 2011.
With a nice warm shop for Del to work in and his hand on the mend, we look forward to a productive 2012.

Jan 28th, 2012 update:

For those new to our site, Del (knifemaker) sustained a hand injury last March. We are back in production, and even though we are further behind than we had hoped, (due to trips away for therapy), we are working diligently on catching up on tool backorders and are making steady progress in that regard.

Tool Availability - New Tool Orders:

Hook Knives, Open Sweep, Harley and Stubby 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.

Kolrosing and Detail knives: We usually have these in stock.

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

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

For those customers who are presently waiting for your order to come up -
We are working diligently to catch up on tool orders.

Here is where we are at:
Harley/Stubby knife orders:  We are caught up on orders placed up until Dec. 27th.

All hook knives, Regular and Short Slojd:   These are our most popular tools and we are producing them on a steady basis. We are presently caught up on orders placed up until Dec.1st. Considering the quantity on order, we are still doing well catching up on these tools, I will continue to update.

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

Tools presently in Stock:   Kolrosing and Detail knives.

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

Funny surprise, Youtube sent me a notice that my spoon-carving demo
passed 25,000 views, wow! - so now they want to give me money -
(by adding obnoxious ads on top of it) oh well, no thanks YouTube....
I still hope to somehow have time this winter to make some more carving tutorials, Del.


Photo of tools made (& me Del Stubbs/Knifemaker) after a 2 month marathon to fill several carving classe's needs, whew!
