Hi Blade Makers:
I would like to invite 3-5 Blade makers to a Blade design and fabrication challenge. I am looking right now to receive feedback on which Blade makers want to accept this "Challenge".
Once I figure out who will participate, I will provide specific and general details/properties of what I would like the finished Blade to be. I will clearly identify the requirements where I wish for something specific and exact, like say handle type, length, and circumference. I will prove a range of parameters where it needs to be less specific, like say overall weight.
I will pay for the fabrication and delivery of each blade at whatever price the Blade maker would normally charge. I am not doing this to squeeze freebies out of a Blade maker. We will keep price to low 100s usd max per blade.
I simply have two objectives for this challenge. One is to provide custom Blade makers a chance to showcase their skills and creativity. Second is to get a few more blades I know I will like that are custom spec'd and not found anywhere.
Sure, being a tt equipment reseller of Nexy gives me access to a whole bunch of custom designed blades turned commercial that I like and use, but there is something about individual specialization that should be precious and appreciated. I am gunna put my personal money where my mouth is, and instead try to not jam my foot in there, like I often do.
I would be inclined to open this for dozens of makers, but since I am using personal funds post USA/Cali tax slash post Cali living/transportation costs, I am not exactly a rich uncle after all that.
So, I have to draw the line somewhere I will go with a max of 5 Blade makers, unless I soon meet that fictitious rich uncle, then we can amend the total of Blade Makers upwards in the challenge.
Blade Makers, place a short piece about yourself on this thread about yourself if you wish to participate.
Thanks.
