Just a couple of brief updates to share this morning. First is a nice photo and a thank you from Mark S in the Netherlands. Mark was the winner of the 2019 Ice Out Contest and shared a photo of the official christening of his prize. Thanks for the great photo! Every now and then…

Ice Condition Update 4.19.18
It looks like a great white wasteland. Right now, that’s all it is! Temperatures finally moderating and by the weekend we should be in the low 60’s. With any luck, that’s going to be the trend going forward. Remember, you’ve only got a few days to place your entry and you can do it by…
Weekend Update 10.16.17
I participated in the Fergus Falls Show over the weekend and as a result, missed posting an update on Friday. So this week, we’ll have a ‘weekend update’! It wasn’t the biggest show they’ve had but it was a decent turnout. Knife sales were good and I learned a few things. Not a bad weekend!…
Frigid Weekly Update 12.16.16
It’s been a good week to work inside as the weather outside is frigid. Temps have had trouble getting much above zero and when they have…. the wind kicks in. Today we get a break getting up to +10F and tomorrow starts off cold and by tomorrow nite we’re supposed to be in the the…
Weekly Update 12.2.16
Anyone else realize it’s just over 3 weeks until Christmas????? How in the world did that happen? If you’ve been watching, I got another lot of the knives listed in the store this week and they tend to go about as fast as they get listed. There are some very nice pieces in the collection…
Weekly Update
We’re riding the coat tails of a gorgeous fall up here and the recent sunsets have been a bonus. What doesn’t show up in the photo are a couple of flocks of mallards making enough racket to get the neighbors dog barking. We stood by the lake and watched the light show for a…
Midweek Update 11.1.16
Missed another Friday update and I’ve been hearing about it. Sorry about that, but sometimes ya just get busy! There were a bunch of new products from Queen last week and I think I covered most of them in my midweek post. The GEC Boys Knives with the cap lifter finished up with the delivery of…
Weekly Update 9.2.16
Really tough when the weekly update has to start with a return to reality. For those of you that aren’t regular readers, I spent a few days in the land of Trestle Pine Knives doing some field research and generally kicking back for a few days. Frankly, I’d much rather still be there then back…
Weekly Update 7.22.16
These weekly updates seem to come closer together every week!! I’m not sure if we started shortening the weeks to 6 days instead of 7 but it sure feels like it. It’s another case of summer sliding by before we know what’s happening. The GEC 14’s continue to trickle in and hopefully should finish up…
Weekly Update 7.15.16
Has to be short weekly update I’m afraid. Have to take care of some other business for a day or two and let the update sit until the last minute. I see there are a bunch of GEC 15’s coming my way either Saturday or Monday. As soon as they arrive I’ll be sorting through…
