Tales from the Viking Ship

Discovered recently by hikers on the great Ragged Mountain, this charcoal rub of a carving found on a traprock face on the Blue and Red trail foretells the future of knife making in Berlin, Connecticut. #06037 #theoriginal #fromourmind #bluecollar

When we started putting ideas to paper a few years back, we knew which knife we wanted to start the business with - The Starnettle. What we didn't know was that we'd have a successful Kickstarter campaign help us see that come to fruition. A campaign that met its goal in two days and doubled its goal in a little over two weeks! Simply put - We're honored. As of right now, 33 Starnettle's have been pre-sold. That's mind-boggling! To those 33 people - we say "thanks!" and we're honored that you chose RMKW to support you in your journey through life! To everyone else has donated for shirts, stickers, or just to donate - thank you so much for believing in us. It means the world. This is all big and real! It's all happening. This is the American Dream! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Nick & Nick #bluecollar #americanoriginal #06037 #handcrafted #d2 #findyourgrind #raggedandfree #sheepsfoot #bluesteel

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the first Grateful Dead show ever played. At the time they were called the "Warlocks" and they barely filled Magoo's Pizza Parlor.. They would go on to not only play a few thousand more shows, but also to create a culture within a culture and change history forever. When Jerry Garcia died in 1995, it was the end to the band "The Grateful Dead" but it was not the end of what he helped create. That culture is still living strong today and runs through the hearts and souls of millions of people - some of who were born after his death. I am proud to call myself a Deadhead and I thank all of those guys (and girls) for going out there and living up on that stage for all of us to see, admire, absorb, etc. Thank You! Happy 50th! #forevergrateful #dead50

Kirby, I wanted you to enjoy fall in New England as much as I am this "Snap" you were kind enough to create for me. My dude! @lambertknives @onelongtrail #flippitydoodaa #custom

The tribe. #tribeofflannel I would like to personally thank the Seattle Grunge Scene for establishing such a myriad palette of patterns; thus allowing clothing companies to loosen their ties and realize that it was okay to think outside the box. Flannel has been around for centuries, but not until 1989-1990 was it as free as it is now. (at My Side Of The Closet)

Pushing from the pommel, I easily slid the Eggen down into the heart of this massive stump. That's one of the many benefits of a Drop Point style blade (and quality craftsmanship.) #helleknives #eggen @gearinstitute (at Ragged Mountain)

Doing a little testing with the Eggen on Hawk's Hill. #helleknives #eggen #battoning @gearinstitute (at Ragged Mountain)

For this next round of testing I'm going native. Skin of the bear, Blood of the caribou. My path has been set by my elders. @gearinstitute #helleknives #eggen #rightvikingforthejob (at Out On The Perimeter)

When people see all the goodies I carry around in my pockets, they tell me I'm crazy. Let's see how crazy I am on Ragnarok!! #readthepoeticeddaasshole (at Pocket)

RIP #jayadams You wrote the book on the revolution. A true inspiration and all around bad ass individual. #zboys
