I was featured in tv show "Töömurdja"

My 3 minutes of fame. Estonian TV station called TV3 has a series called “Töömurdja”, which is about all kinds of strange occupations people have. 23 June 2008 show was about me being a swordmaker.

Currently only in Estonian, but I hope I can get the video source and create english subtitles for it.

Domain name change

Small update in blog. From now on this blog can be also accessed from url http://blog.knivesandengraving.com/.

I changed the address under knivesandengraving.com, because this site is where our ‘business face’ is. So SEO wise it would be a good idea if blog is under the same name.

Please update your links and feeds.

Three new knives

We haven’t been slacking for the past month. Oh no, far from that! Besides ordering a heat treatment oven, which should arrive in few weeks, we also made 3 new knives out of which 2 are already engraved and 1 sold. Plus little doodling with engraving.

Anyways, here are the 3 knives.

A little closeup of engraving:

Handles on that knife were made of cocobolo. I really-really like its pattern. Now one of my favourite woods.

Here are 2 others. The dark wood you see on one knife is wenge and the reddish one is mahogany.
