Was it worth the wait
« on: April 07, 2010, 09:57:00 PM »
Yes I think so, 36 years since I made a knife. I met Kevin Evans here on Tradgang, we just happen to to live close, in adjoining communities. We forged a couple of hunters and Kevin coached me through the process. I ended up with two knives and a new friend...good bargain.
     The first two pictures are of Kevins knife and the second two are of mine:

Thank you for all of the nice words. I credit Kevin, I think he can see better than me...at least straighter. Took a big step today and ordered a new grinder.
