SlideClicks *LIVE*, Zirc Supply, Titanium Pens and Sliders (Blog Post)
Another (Quick) Shop Tour (Assembly + Shipping)
Below is a super-short tour of the Assembly and Shipping area.
I know I did a tour of this area recently ...but I think it's such a cool area. We designed and built the entire modular system in-house ourselves.

Zirconium Supply
I recently (well, two days ago) increased the price of sliders with Zirconium used in them.
This is unavoidable unfortunately because I am having to source raw Zirconium material from other suppliers than I have been able to use for the last few years.

China is the world's biggest supplier of Titanium (and Zirconium as far as I am aware). I can still get access to Titanium ...but Zirconium from China is now not happening at all. It seems to be a ban on the export at the government level as far as I can tell.
I am struggling -- but still trying -- to source Zirconium from other parts of the world. Managing to get pieces here and there.
However, when I do find some, it is a MINIMUM of 2.5 times the price and usually more.
This means I either stop selling Zirconium entirely ...or I raise the price. I have opted to raise the price ...and let people decide themselves if they are happy to pay what the price needs to be for a product with Zirconium in it.
SlideClick (Utility Blade Knife)
It's FINALLY here!
The long-awaited, all-titanium, hands-down-best-on-the-market Titanium Utility Blade knife -- the SlideClick -- is back in stock.
I have made a few dozen and put them up in on the website here:
Pretty confident they are going to sell out reasonably quickly. If you miss out, then I will make more. :-)
Sliders and Pens Available (Today)
I have a few sliders available with Zirconium plates . I only have a few here and there ...but hoping to increase the quantity available over time (but time will tell with Zirconium so hard to source right now).
This way of doing drops sucks
