Of course noone has paid yet as I have only just sent the details. Since there is so much interest, I will make the payment deadline next Wed 30th after which I will offer them to the reserve list.

Don't worry too much, it looks like I'll need to get going with the next batch ASAP.

This post was to give a Shep a boost in selling these as I have one and it's a brilliantly designed and executed bit of kit. But...I can see I needn't have bothered - all gone in 12 hours!

Shep, I think that's clearly telling you something mate - i.e. you have a winner on your hands. Have you thought about approaching one of the commercial companies (I'm thinking of the Bushcraft retailers or the likes of Axminster tools - or even the manufacturers of the stones themselves). At the very least I would apply for a commercial patent on this kit - it deserves to be a benchmark for field sharpening of all tools (and yes it's good for straight razors too). It takes no room in the rucksack - it's even pocketable and has everything you need to get your blades, not just "field sharp" like the DC4 - which is far too harsh IMO, but "bench sharp" just like we do at home.

13 sent today. One has pulled out so I have offered it to Plastic Ninja and one other payment is still clearing so I'll post those 2 on Saturday.

For everyone else, thanks for your interest. I will need a little time to organise some more stones and will get a new lot underway ASAP. I can't take advance orders at the moment (I am not organised enough). But I will post here when they're ready.

 

[Wayne]

Let me know when you have the next batch ready. I wouldn't mind one or two for my instructors.

Mine has also arrived safely and looks great - much lighter than I thought it would be as well! Can't wait to try out later!
