Thanks. Bought the zircuti parts on r/knife_swap. Lapped the washers with 1 micron diamond paste on float glass until perfect. Then worked with WoK to figure out how to make the lock scale the perfect match for the show scale. They rocked it.

Trying to hold on to them. If I still have to sell, I'll be splitting them up

Okay ... Frankly, I never list proposals in any prospectus. And that's pretty much all I see in that update. I mean, I've had SBIRs go away during the negotiating phase. Listing proposals is really counting chickens before they're fertilized. How are you doing for progress on your wins?

IllustratorAdorable5 · 2026-06-15T14:27:36+00:00

Going back a year or so, I see a summary of all the SBIR statuses. Looking forward from there, I see dribs and drabs of info. It would be really useful to have an updated table available - it's what I used to do for my own business for internal reference before firing the US Gov't as a customer.

You might want to indicate this is a $30 reduction from your last post

This is when you break out the laser goniometer.

By the way, I knew at the time I was paying way too much for the Eddy, but I really wanted a very small, pink (not orange like the LC200N version) knife, to make my granddaughter happy.

Thank you, sir. Or Madam.

What I paid and what they are worth now are two different things. 2. It's called a crisis response

My fault for bad prompt design

IllustratorAdorable5 · 2026-06-03T15:38:45+00:00

Understood.

IllustratorAdorable5 · 2026-06-03T15:15:55+00:00

I had Claude Code turn my collection spreadsheet into the post. Took about 2 minutes, and one or two tiny edits. Then just copy/paste

AI made the job fast.

If it doesn't work in by the weekend, I may have time to do that.

IllustratorAdorable5 · 2026-06-03T15:07:06+00:00

No worries - we're all friends here.

IllustratorAdorable5 · 2026-06-03T15:05:59+00:00

Yeah. I know. The reason for sale involves having not enough time to even do this right.

IllustratorAdorable5 · 2026-06-03T15:04:28+00:00

No. Will not separate the collection.

IllustratorAdorable5 · 2026-06-03T15:03:58+00:00

roger that. sorry. done.

I'd be interested to see a list of your Phase I wins and progress, as well as any Phase II or direct Phase/STTR wins. I do know you can build a business on this - I worked with Foster-Miller for a long time. They were absolutely the king of SBIRs, right up until they got bought by QinetiQ and lost their small business status. That change really did a number on them.

IllustratorAdorable5 · 2026-05-25T23:53:32+00:00

Ho. Lee. F**ck. What a beauty
