I would be interested in this as well. Sign me up for a #3 please.

I am interested. Well, depending on the price point I suppose. Hopefully you'll get a nice efficient manufacturing process for optimum price point.

Butch, so what would these beauties cost approximately? around $50, $100,$150, $200? Jus wondering how much to set aside

Cheers,

OOOH! You're actually grinding these? I thought you were just roughing them out. Does that mean I'll get the honor of buying the prototype of my smiling notch design (somewhere down the road, of course)?

3rd one from the bottom for me. looks really sweet.

the smiling notch is a 6/8 and light hollow ground 9looks liek a wedge but is hollow a bit (me = wedge is flat ground )

I'm liking the smile, if I got it pre-heat I'd change that tang, not my personal style (although where that dorsal spike is it probably ishidden by the scales mostly?). but they are looking great. could we call that grind a 1/8 hollow? I'd think that would still give the shaving characteristic of the wedge while making honing a bit easier, no?

Thanks a lot. I'm still itching to get into this.
