Shattered Live Blades available plus updates.

Shattered Live Blades available plus updates.

Shattered live blades available! Get them before they are gone for good!

There are currently 6 live blades available, there will be some more over the course of this month. There will be a few more trainers but it’s likely some will be labeled as “blemished” with a discount. I’ll post more details on that when I have them assembled, price set and a method for payment in mind. I am offering a discount on the remaining batch going forward as an apology for how long this batch is taking to make happen, plus because I couldn’t have units ready during the 4th of July sale I had done.

The important update:

An end of an era. Once the final trainers and live blades sell through. The Shattered v1 will be no more. I can’t thank every single one of you for being a part of its journey, some coming from it’s first 3D printed prototype back in 2022, to now, having many iterations before it even released. It’s sad that it’s only had two drops and the five Ti variants I got prototypes of, will never release. Either way the journey the Shattered has taken to this point has been an amazing, even though I know some wouldn’t agree with that thought. I still thank every single one of you.

I’ve had a lot of life stuff going on recently and it’s been a struggle balancing it all is Shattered Concepts. I do apologize for the length of this drop and the lack of updates. That said though, it’s not all bad. The Shattered v1 may be discontinued after this batch, and the status of Ruined and Rift, at this time is still undetermined. It’s not all bad though. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, so I hope you all will continue to follow Shattered Concepts into this next chapter. I cannot speak on what’s on the horizon, but I assure you that what’s to come next will be something great, and so I hope to see you all there. I thank you all again for all the support you have given me and Shattered Concepts through all of its ups and downs.

The Future of Shattered Concepts

I’d like to start this out with saying that I originally didn’t intend to say anything about this yet. The only reason I am changing is my mind is to make this fair for all of you.

I would like to start off with saying how grateful I am to have had this opportunity to make physical products you all can enjoy. Let alone such a unique and beautiful design such as Shattered. I can’t thank you all enough for your support up to this point.

The reason for doing this, is simply due to sales (speed mostly). To put it simply, the debt accrued from starting batch isn’t getting outweighed by sales, this isn’t due to bad pricing on my part, it’s simply due to demand. As we all know the community is shifting and changing constantly. The speed at which products sell isn’t fast enough to counter interest on the drops. My only goal at this point is to get Shattered Concepts to pay off its debts.

With all of that said. There’s two general routes Shattered will go down. Only time will tell which of the two it will go down.

Route one: Full closure or “coma” as I’ll call it. Shattered Concepts will either close (as it sounds, everything will close and be gone) or I will close all selling channels but stay active through socials. I call it a “coma” because I will monitor the demand and community and if there appears to be a high demand for Shattered, I will release a small drop, but other than that, Shattered would be inactive.

Route two (best case scenario): Depending how things go once debt is paid off. There is a possibility that if Shattered has enough actual profits in cash, I can possibly continue drops, but in smaller batches, and less frequently. The time constraint being less demanding since it would be paid in cash, not credit, meaning no interest. Here is the catch, with this route, Shattered Concepts may branch into other EDC flow art and other industries as a whole, focusing on things I can make by hand, not machined. That way Shattered Concepts can avoid large debt per drop. More on this at a later date.

There is more I can say but it won’t change the outcome. For that reason I’ll spare Reddit the rest of the statement I made (from Instagram) since I know many can be iffy with lengthy posts as it is and I’m sure many clicked off as soon as they saw the length of the text.

Ti Shattered prototype

Not much to be said with the clip other than that this prototype is a little muted. I am gonna make it a point to try and make the next prototypes finer tuned so it’ll be louder.

Thank you everyone for your continued support!

The Aluminum Shattered batch is coming along, still learning some things as I go so it is a bit slower than I’d like so far, but that said I hope you guys enjoy these Ti Shattered photos I got!

I was trying to get a sound test clip outside but apparently everyone decided now was the time to do every loud outdoor activity. Not the last three hours or later. I am not joking when I say I couldn’t even find a 30 second window that there was a blower, lawn mower, dog barking, or a basket ball bouncing if not multiple at once.

As the title says. I literally just received the parts for the Shattered batch. Starting tomorrow I’ll begin with preparing all the bushing holes in the trainers and blades. Then pressing all the pins in the handles, then finally sharpening all the blades before I assemble them.

Bear with me on the process as my workspace consists of a single small table basically so this will be a bit long, if all goes smoothly I’ll have units prepared before Blade East.

The news many have been waiting for and is show. I. The photo. The titanium Shattered prototypes have arrived. I’ll be assembling them over the next week or so. There’s only five, but my idea is to leave one silver and anodize the other four ways I have planned already. That said enjoy this nice close up of the milling marks 😍
