The FrogLube test is over, GEC 47’s continue to arrive and we should see the Vipers start to arrive in a matter of days. One note on the Vipers is there’s going to be a delay in the new Brown Snakeskin acrylic Tidioutes. There’s been a delay in shipping on the handle material so it…

Weekly Update 1.22.16
Looks like the weekly update is a bit lacking this week in the way of new/current releases. The deluge of 47’s continues and that’s about it. Seems like most folks are patiently awaiting the arrival of the Vipers in that series. Shouldn’t be long! I started listing a few knives this week that I’ve picked…
Cold Weather, Crime Wave & 2016 Queen Catalog
The 2016 Queen Product Catalog was released last week and there are some great looking products coming up. One item I knew was coming and I personally like is the Blue Bone. This is a ‘distressed’ blue so don’t be looking for a perfectly matched solid blue. It’s a great looking handle material and the…
Weekly Update 1.15.16
The big Weekly Update news is those of us in the Northland are digging out the long underwear. -10F this morning and it looks like we’re gonna stay below zero until the first of next week. No one’s really complaining as it’s been an incredibly nice winter so far. Unfortunately, this weekend kicks off our…
FrogLube Test Update 1.14.16
Time for a FrogLube Test update. It’s been 4 weeks since I treated a Queen Country Cousin with a D2 blade and left it outside on my picnic table. Per the FrogLube instructions, I degreased the blade and removed all of the original petroleum based lubes, warmed the knife slightly with a hair dryer and…
First of the GEC 47 Harvester Knives are in stock
I uploaded the current release of the GEC 47 Harvester knives this AM. There are a number of iterations of the 47 coming through the first of which is called the Harvester. I couldn’t help but notice the names of some of these patterns are getting longer and longer. The record holder so far seems…
Weekly Update 1.9.16
A late weekly update is better then not at all, right? Hope so! Other then cleaning up from the show last weekend, not a whole lot occurred beyond GEC’s announcement of the upcoming Beagle / Coyote releases coming later this spring. The pre-booking page is set up to let you place an early order and…
New Schatt & Morgan Knives Added
These kind of slid in under the radar yesterday. I meant to mention them on the blog, but too much going on and I forgot! There were two nice additions to the storefront. The first is a short run of 15 Schatt & Morgan 1C Cotton Samplers with ATS34 Blades and Black Jigged Bone handles….
GEC #18 Pre-Booking is Open
I added the GEC #18 Coyote and Beagle knives to the store this morning for Pre-Booking. As per usual, there are a number of unknowns, but requests have been coming in and my gut feeling is this has the makings of another sell out pattern. The 18’s appear to be based on the incredibly popular…
Fargo Show Update Knife Sales are Thriving!
Having to work New Years day to get set up for the Fargo Show this weekend was time well spent. There may be soft spots in the economy around the country, but not up here! Saturday morning there were people lined up all the way to the street waiting to get in and the line…
