    Hi everyone, I haven't been active for a while for variety of reasons , we are in the middle of busy season at work , have less staff than ideal at the moment and on top of this we are moving into a new house tomorrow. I am sad that you won't be seeing much vines at the back ground but anymore but this move was well needed . With knifemaking becoming more than a hobby and with our growing family a house with a proper workshop space became necessity. For the ones who know where I am working its 10 times the size of my current set up :p Luckily we found one and managed to get it . For a month or so I may be slow with responding to pm's or messages on FB , please contact me via email .
    For the custom orders ; when i gave deadlines for deliveries I have included this month as well so it is not going to add on top of what I quoted . With the new shop I will be setting up in lot more efficient way with additional machinery like powerhammer and rolling mill, this hopefully reflecting on me making higher quality knives . I plan on making my own Damascus , Mokume and focusing on San mai .
    Soon I would like to have a website as well that you can sign up for the notifications of what's becoming available. I am still taking custom orders for 2016 deliveries and hope to host the first hammer in of KKFora around April or May in down under . Thank you for support , wish me luck with the move

    Did you move to accomodate growing family or new powerhammer?

  10. good luck with everything Mert. If you pay for our airfare, you could probably get a bunch of us out there to help with the move........we require beer and pizza too though.

  14. Congrats on the move Mert! Good to hear your upgrading your shop. If you host a hammer in I'll be there with bells on! Been meaning to come down anyway as you know. Give me plenty of time to organise time off though :) you know how it is.
