Hurricane Florence put us behind on production for the NC State Fair, and we've been playing catch up ever since. Scott is working on the Vortex now - a Brut de Forge blade hammered out by hand during the storm when we had no power. He also has two cleavers in progress.
Here's what's ready now.
Teak from the deck of the Battleship USS-NC will be featured at our table again this year.
We have Damascus XOs (Executive Officers), Blackout and 3V XOs,
and Damascus Piranhas all with BB-55 teak handles.
Damascus XO

Finish: Hand-sanded
Overall Length: 8.5 inches
Blade Length: 3.5 inches
Handle: BB-55 Teak

All hand-forged E. Scott McGhee knives get the MS mark on the showside, while all knives with battleship teak handles get a special BB-55 mark on the backside of the blade.
XO Blackout
Steel: O1
Finish: Satin
Overall Length: 8.5 inches

Executive officers (XOs) also come in corrosion resistant 3V steel. Most have BB-55 teak handles, but Scott couldn't resist making one with a scalloped Micarta handle.
A few Damascus Piranhas will be available in BB-55 teak again this year,
and these little beauties will feature our all new leather pocket sheath.
