I'm really trying my best to lose myself in learning and doing projects. I'm 3D printing all the things, I'm CNCing wood, I'm laser etching and cutting leather and fabric, I'm learning how to sew, and today going to try embroidery for the first time Meanwhile Friday at my job looks like this 🫠

The most valuable thing I learned from this was to remove barriers that increase the time it takes to iterate on failed designs. Our current design would have saved us at least 8 months of just waiting. Here’s a BTS talking about how we cut the iteration time down to 3-4 days.

I often talk about thinking of 3D printers like sewing machines—tools that might not be in every house, but are pretty ubiquitous and with a little practice allow you a lot of freedom to make things But, I didn't actually know how to sew, so my wife taught me and I made my first hat. Cat for scale

My dad asked if I would give him one of my 'reject' magnetic knife block prototypes. I'd much rather send him a custom one for his kitchen I'm proud of, so made a new one Leather and white oak, two tone dye, finished with orange oil and bees wax. I love the back details that nobody but him will see
Front, white oak and leatherI made leather covers for the 3D printed magnet holders and painted the screw headsSigned it with my Japanese middle name, which is also a bit of a personal family nameThe oil and wax finish on the leather and two tone dye job gives it a nice antique feel that should hopefully patina further nicely over time

One of our goals this year was to have a stronger emphasis on showing the community. The C in the FGC is no buzzword. People don't go to Evo because it's big, it's is big because of the people that come together at Evo.

Catching up on my email now that I'm back from Evo and had this gem from my favorite Canadian knife store 50% tariff plus a $25 fee just to order something that nobody in the US is making in the first place Anyways, this is gonna apply to a lot of stuff, so maybe be prepared
Trump has announced the removal of the De Minimis Exception on orders under $800, effective August 29. In plain English, this means that any order you make from outside the U.S.A. will be subject to tariffs and fees starting on that date. We're talking 15% on Japanese items, 35% on Canadian goods, plus a $25 processing fee on every single order.
 
I know. Not awesome. 
 
I wanted to give you a heads-up so you can get ahead of this. If you've been eyeing a new knife, a beautiful cutting board, or anything else on our site, I'd recommend placing your order before August 20 to avoid these extra charges.
 
We’re staying optimistic that this situation will change again, and you can count on Knifewear to keep you in the loop.
 
We’ll continue to ship to the U.S. and will do our very best to collect these fees at checkout to make sure your package gets to you as smoothly as possible.
