I've made huge leaps and bounds, introducing my first Balisong to the market, the Luna-Song, introducing two more fixed blade designs, the Rectifier and the Celestion, making strides towards a tactical folder and another Balisong model, customizing knives at the same time as maintaining a high standard of academic excellence. It's tough, but fun. Here are some shots of the new knives:

My knives are 100% handmade in Apex NC, sole authorship except for the heat treat which is done by a local machine shop. You will be able to order any of these models come Christmas of 2011. They mark a dramatic shift in the way I'll be doing business from now on. That leads me to my second large annoucement.
As of Nov. 2011 I am discontinueing customization services until the spring, instead focusing on getting my custom knives perfected. The customizing job has made me extremely unhappy, stressed out, irritable and frankly I'm just tired of it and it's no longer fun for me. It's extremely difficult to keep any kind of reasonable schedule while I'm in school, and I don't like keeping customers waiting. Being a one man army has its downsides, I just don't have the time to do custom knives and pimp jobs, and I'd rather focus on creating the best custom knives that I can. From time to time I may release a customized knife from my personal stash, but as of right now I just don't have the time to keep up with so many things at once.
I will also be keeping my Youtube Channel a little more up to date. If you are not subscribed to my Youtube Channel, PRSPl4yer, please do so. I do give aways and contests for subscribers as well as offer discounts for Channel regulars. In addition to showcase videos, I also have reviews and creative videos. Here's a taste of what I've been up to lately:
