Hello all,
I'm Jon Christensen. I've been a member here for a short while (mainly lurking). My friend Doug Campbell suggested that I join up as an associate sponsor so here I am. Now a little about myself.
I'm 45 and live in Shepherd, Mt. (8 miles east of Billings) with my wife (Brenda) of 23yrs. We have two girls or should I say yound women now since my oldest is 22 and my youngest is preparing for her first year in College. My wife and I are still coming to grips with the empty nest thing.
In 1999 my family and I decided to move back to our home state of Mt. I left my job as a Horticulturist with Georgia Pacific and my wife got a job transfer to Billings. We moved back so the kids could spend more time with their grandparents (and we really love Montana).
Being the bullheaded type I wanted to work for myself after years of working for others.
I started making knives in 1999 when we moved here. I didn't know anything about knifemaking but dove in fulltime and treated it just like I did my college degree, living and breathing knives for the next 7 years.
In 2006 I attained my Mastersmith (MS) Rating with the American Bladesmith Society (ABS).
I make all types of knives. Hunters, folders, bowies, just about anything.
I've been shooting a bow since grade school. I shot my brothers compound that he had in college but it just didn't take (for either of us). I prefer to keep things simple when I'm hunting.
I currently shoot a longbow made by Rich Wormingtom from Wyoming.
I love hunting, fishing, camping and all that goes along with them.
Guess that's about it for now. I've been long winded enough I think.
Thanks,
Jon
