When you are knifemaker already living in social distancing and order wrong kind of rolls !!! I bet these weren’t the rolls people were hoarding and talking about . I bet they were 400 grits or higher #knifemaker #bladeshow2020 #coronavirus #grinding #socialdistancing

Stay safe , stay home if you can , if you can’t use common sense , avoid crowded places
While many supermarkets have shortages of food items your local restaurant or eatery has plenty of food and they are struggling. Order in your food takeaway and support small places as much as you can . I will be working same pace as much as I can as long as I can receive goods and send knives via post . Thank you all who tirelessly work in hospitals and good luck to my fellow hospitality peeps .
I am watching the news with my eyes wide open , drop a comment if you see the googly eyes in the pattern

#australianbladesymposium was a blast , managed to catch up with friends, watched couple classes by @mcintyreknives @kyleroyerknives and @rumble_knives . I did a presentation of San Mai and stainless steel heat treatment. With my dies not fitting the older anyangs and the forge taking forever to get to the welding temperatures it was a challenge but hopefully people who took the class learned enough to attempt by themselves. I wore my chef jacket since I got no use for them anymore and it’s reminder to be to do my best so I don’t have to go back to kitchens .
Last picture is the knife I forged during the demo , blue2 core over mild steel
Thank you to all who organised this incredible event , and thank you all to who demonstrated or attended

Well , that escalated quickly 😆
@kayathekangal is a growing boy , here is a comparison picture of him 3 months old and 5 1/2 months old . He is already around 30kgs and has no idea about his own athleticism and size ( He is most likely going to double up in size )
He dislikes anything knifemaking related and gives me the saddest looks when I take him to the shed and whines until I take him home where it’s cooler and quite
