Hey everyone! BIG POST HERE😁

We wanted to pop in and say hello after getting back from a WILD family road trip through New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, looping back through Nevada, then Utah, Colorado, and back home to New Mexico 🙌
It was a great chance to make memories, recharge, and spend time together ♥️

After traveling with our 2 year old and our 10 month old, we can honestly say it went better than we ever expected! We had an amazing adventure, made some great memories, and would absolutely recommend a family road trip if you have been thinking about taking one!

Now that we are home, we are back in the shop and hitting orders first. We are working our way through everything and getting your handcrafted items finished and on their way to you as quickly as possible.

We realized that we do not share much about ourselves on this page, so we thought this would be a fun opportunity to introduce the people behind the business. We are Christopher and Samantha Apodaca, and we work side by side to create and package every order that goes out the door. Together, we complete the final package that each customer receives and put a lot of care into every detail 👌🏾

To all of our longtime supporters, thank you for being with us over the years. Your encouragement, likes, shares and every single order have helped us continue doing what we love. And to those who have joined us more recently, welcome. We are so glad you are here!

If you are interested in our handcrafted items, we would love for you to check out our website. While you are there, be sure to subscribe to our email list so you can stay up to date on new drops, product releases, and exclusive promo codes.

Thank you for supporting our small family business!! It truly means the world to us, and we appreciate every one of you 🙏
We look forward to continuing to create for you!

Here’s a fun set that was ordered a few weeks ago!

A recent Cabrito order that was shipped out.
This one was a blast to put together! That hamon paired up with a cholla turquoise handle really made the package pop 👌🏾

Flashback Friday! Recurve Bowie
—————————
Here’s an item back from 2018 when we would slap mirror polishes on the bevels.
I used to LOVE soaking the blade in some Ferric Acid to achieve some texture on the flats… may have to get back into that again…

Would love to know where this blade is!

Hey team!
We went ahead and added these new items up on the website!
We have two new Drop Point Fieldsman, with 10oz leather sheaths.
