The newest addition to the Ryback Kitchen is the RybackGP with a 100mm blade of 3.2mm Becut stainless. The first knives are on sale now. See the kitchen link for more info.

Mini Thorn Evolution
The Mini Thorn Evolution is back on track. I finished the first protype (pictured at right) with a blade of O2 carbon toolsteel and grips machined from olive green G-11. The blade is acid washed. This knife is for sale at €250 ($325 USA sales). Email me for more info!

Quest: My first Slip Joint Folder
The Quest Slip Joint Folder is coming along as planned. The 3rd genaration prototypes are finished and have been sold. The 4th generation prototypes are in the final stages and should be ready to sell soon. All of these knives have a blade length of just under 3 inches.

News from the Workshop

My First Employee
I am no longer alone in the workshop. My first employee began working with me on May 8th. Dan is an industrial designer from Ohio and is doing an internship in my shop as the final leg of his degree program. He recently completed his first folder design which we produced and as soon as I get some pics made, you'll see the knives here!
