Blade HQ Tour!

Hey guys -- I had the bright idea of taking a few pictures of the shop today (Though I have yet to sneak a few photos of our happy workers, but I plan to do so soon). The images are relatively big, so you may have to wait a little for them to come down the pipes.

It doesn't get any cooler than the outside of the store! Yeah, it looks small, but wait till we get inside Wink

Here you get to see one of our display walls. These were actually built by Cam, and I have to say, they turned out looking pretty sharp.

Just a bunch of shelves that span off into the distance as far as the eye can see Smile

It gets messy in the warehouse, that's for sure.

One of our work desks. A lot of knife operations go on here, and more knives than you'd think get special attention from the team. Adjustements, springing, etc.

Our small but homely back room. This is where our resident graphic artist Jake takes pictures of the knives we get in stock, and then uses all sorts of technical wizardry to get them from the "real" world onto the website. You can PM him on the board (he's cb.i_heart_knives for some ridiculous reason, and has yet to post!) Tell him what a good job he does Very Happy

That's it for now. Expect more in the coming weeks.

Cool tour Greg, I'm sure my Old Lady would say, "That's not a wish list, that's a Old Lady's nightmare..." Shocked

(And me in the background rubbing my hands together, creating a sound like a cicada shedding its' skin..., shouting "Woman! Empty the drool cup!" Laughing

Oh man- looking at these pictures make me nostalgic. I don't know how we ever got by without the room we have now. Crazy. I'll have to post some updated "tour" pics- things have really changed!
