After my first 2 weeks of knife building....
« on: March 31, 2010, 08:40:00 PM »
Recently I have been bitten by the knife building bug after speaking to some brothers at the JLMBH. I figured that I may as well give it a try. After a donation of some steel from IAMSKIPPY and some modest tool collecting this is one of 5 that I made.Progress is being made and lessons are being learned with each one. I have a lot of work to do, butneeded to start somewhere. Glen

keep up the good work. It's an amazing learning experience....  Look up the experienced and the master smiths (including some of the awesome work here), look at their knives.. that's a great way to progress.
