A head’s up.
I want all my customers to be happy, and I normally I make what I like, and sell that.
I rarely give choices of scale material, but in this case with the present batch of Serratas, I decided to offer various colours of G10 and Micarta as an option.
Red, blue, olive green and black G10 were suggested by prospective customers, along with olive green and red Micarta.
You might be aware that I NEVER take deposits, and I self fund any and all of my projects myself.
The previous batches were 12, 14 or 16 in each batch, and this batch required at least 140 to be cast to be financially viable.
I borrowed a lot of money to do this project, and before I can spend any more money on bolts or scales, I have to sell the present group of assembled Serratas.
There are 22 still to be assembled, as the scales are already cut out, drilled with Corby Bolt holes and matched to the respective Serrata.
There are 4 Butterscotch G10, and the rest in black canvas Micarta.
My wife ( who handles my money ) has allowed me to buy enough Corby bolts to finish the 22 knives, and no more materials of any type will be bought until and IF they all sell.
My debt MUST be cleared sooner rather than later, somehow.
I was unemployed for 7 months from June last year, and I am now working at a tool steel supplier and heat treater.
I am not looking for any sympathy, just understanding.
I have already cut out the Kydex sheaths for the 22, so there are no worries there.
I realise that Serratas are not everybody’s cup of tea, and that is fine.
I am happy ( ? ) to let the remainder of the unfinished blanks and even the unfinished knives ( with scales to be attached ) stored in my workshop till any interest is shown again.
In the mean time, I will be finishing the 22 Serratas in the time I have on weekends.

Mine is apparently waiting somewhere in Coventry for "clearance" whatever that might mean. Can't wait to get my mitts on it.
Samo... you should have yours in your grubby mitts?
I picked it up last night. It feels great in my hand as it’s a great size.

Probably means you'll get stung by HMRC as I just did! Adds to the fun
Still can't wait till it arrives.
