New for 2015

This year I am adding a makers mark!  The CK mark stands for CottarKnives.  I use a 20 ton press to stamp the steel.  On annealed flat stock its easier because the steel starts off softer, on the antiques saw blades, I have to anneal the steal which adds an extra step.  I made a fist full of neckers because they are easier to make (no handle material), and fun to carry and use.

I had a friend that's been wanting a knife using a material made by TexasBlanks.  He calls this product Hulkinator.  Was very interesting to work with, sanded and worked very well.
