That's awesome Lin! One of these days I'll have to order one of your knives.

Lin,

Love that knife!

I think it would be a great if you could conduct a weekend class at Haywood on how you forge your Blacksmith knife.

I would like to attend that.

Thanks guys!

Steve, New England Metalworks is talking about having me teach this class in the Spring. Let them know you want to take it and maybe that will move solidify things. I anticipate a one week course covering this small blacksmith knife as well as the larger X-Rhea Bowie.

Lin & Jeff,

Maine sounds great!  Haywood NC sounds even better for this class!

Maine in the summer sounds even better.  Our cottage on Great East Lake in Acton Maine is about an 1 1/2 hours from Auburn.  If y'all decided to spend an extra day or two after the class, we could go there for a little R&R.  I'll probably still be at our farm in SC till middle of June.
