Should be interesting navigating the enamel cups issue. Short of China the only major places with enamelware manufacturers left, if I'm remembering right, are Poland, the UK, and the Philippines. It's odd how the style largely died out, as it's able to be scoured like ceramics while being far more durable and a fraction of the weight.
All of the high-end ones (like Best Made Co, Howler Bros, and the like), are being made by the same company in Poland. I have been working with them with my designer on the mugs. It's a long process as I've shot down most of the designs. But I'm not giving up.
any info on the hobo pot? I am actually carving a Bindle Stick right now, and will have a classic handkerchief tied to it with supplies..
Do you have a vendor? Tough to get people to make you things surprisingly. I’m thinking of contacting those Indian companies that make all the lunch boxes for the workers over there. Not sure if y’all are familiar with that but it’s amazing to see a guy delivering 50 lunches in those little metal containers
These stacking lunch boxes are made in lots of countries across SE Asia. When I learned that Tiffin also makes "Zebra" pots, I bought a set of lunch boxes, and they are of the same quality construction. The steel is a little thinner, making the boxes a little lighter.
At the top of my wish list is a .25" thick Junglas. I want one so bad, that I would pay to have it custom made by rowen if i didn't get stomped by Jeff and Mike LOL
The only possible steel change that would interest me would be CPM3V. If they made the ESEE 6 .20" thick in CPM3V, it would be a beast. We all best remember though, what makes these ESEE knives as awesome as they are is the forgiving 1095 that they are forged from. Don't buy into the super steel hype. Buy a flexx strop and maintain your ESEE knife. No knife should ever become so dull that re profiling is required. it happens...but y'all know what I mean
