Yesterday I had my first really uncomfortable incident with knife making. I had someone turn up in person, even after stating phone texts please no drop ins on the web ,someone with obvious life issues wanting to buy a knife. Someone who made me say "I can't go making you a knife and stabbing someone."

I'm now at the point where I think I have to remove my address from google business. Was probably a dumb move I guess thinking I could have a home business. Between this and not being able to take calls due to telstra being unable to filter out indian call centres wasting my time im going to take a royal hit to my ability to do business as I think is the way to do right by customers.

Going forward all knife sales are on hold unless you are a past customer or have recommendation from a trusted contact.
I have to do this sorry, my love and belief of the knife making community is too strong to risk it being brought into disrepute. Im also looking at rebranding in future.

Thanks,

Back in the saddle. Hamon showing already post heat treat, temper and a quick clean. Should be a good one once brought out after polish etc.

Just a reminder if you need sharpening etc the quickest response back is via text to my mob. Number.

I don't get facebook messenger sound notifications as i got sick of pings at 3am and turned them off.

Also if you call my mobile and i don't already have your number I won't answer 90% of the time due to the excessive amount of Indian phone scammer calls Telstra lets through.

A text to my mobile is the way to go.
Cheers

It's always a nice change from knives when someone brings chisels in to be done
