What I went and did was make myself a website:

https://www.flightlessforge.com/

We're going straight back to the Web 1.0 with this one. I haven't maintained a personal website since, oh, probably about 2002. It may thus surprise you to learn that my day job also involves maintaining a website, and one that's a heck of a lot more complicated than this. But given that I've already got one headache to manage I'd rather not give myself another one, so we're keeping this simple for now.

This is surely one of those personal vanity project things which will attract single-digit readership while I have a limitless forum to rattle on to myself forever about whatever off-topic nonsense is on my mind at the moment. If you lot think I type too much here, just imagine what I can get done when I don't have anyone around to stop me.

Anyway, several of you expressed interest in purchasing an Emperor knife. Not to deliberately play the FOMO card or anything, but I have thusly produced one (1) additional example of the same which is up for sale. It's serial number 1. I didn't make more than one because, uh...

I'm out of steel.

So this is seed capital; The sale of this knife will fund my purchase of enough materials to make several more, and eventually we can get to cooking. I'm also putting my Rockhoppers up for sale if any of you lot would like to get your hands on one of those and not have to buy a 3D printer. I figure this is probably a slightly better deal than giving me money via Patreon or Ko-Fi (nudge, nudge) whereupon you get nothing in return. I'm still building up my stock of those, so bear with me. I'll put some Adélies up later, once my printer is no longer busy on its current task.

We will return to our regularly scheduled shitposting, oh, hopefully tomorrow.

I employed my filament swapping plan when I printed the handle scales for this one, adding some stripes of a rather fetching green (if you ask me). It matches the pattern on the sheath, more or less.

I had some concerns about the fragility of the edge taking it down as thin as I did with my personal example, so on this one I left a lot more thickness behind the edge.
