Another week in November has already almost passed us by– not without its surprises, however. We woke up on Monday with several inches of freshly fallen snow and no sign of an end. That’s the funny thing about the Appalachias, we don’t have snow as often as our northern neighbors but when it snows it SNOWS. Needless to say those shop heaters Jay lit up last week were well used and the production guys were thankful to arrive at a warm shop to start the week.

Happy Friday, folks! It’s been a cooler week around Baker HQ as the temps around our little Appalachian community dip into the 20s for the first time this season. Jay even kicked on the shop heater a few times this week while the forges weren’t in use– surely a sign of the cold for this group of hardworking mountain blacksmiths.

Another October week is in the books. It certainly seems like the summer lull is officially over. All week Baker HQ was alive with the bustling of custom orders and production in full motion. Whether it’s our custom Maker’s or larger bulk orders to the production knife makers both seem to be gearing up for the holiday season right on schedule!

This week started like many do, we lit up the forges on Monday to tackle several custom batches while preparing for another exciting weekend drop for our retail customers. The real curveball came when a plethora of massive trucks arrived from the electric company.

Things looked a little different around Baker HQ this week as we hosted a crew of electricians assisting with the hookup of several new machines. With the new power hammer resting upright on its foundation, we shifted focus to air lines and electric hook-ups as we face the final stretch with a well-over a year installation process.

What turned out to be one of those head-down hustle weeks at Baker HQ went relatively smoothly and without much drama. Early in the week, Jay and the team hit the weekend drop manufacturing hard, turning out a never-before-seen layout that we’re stoked to share.
