Hello Boys, It's been a while!
« on: December 11, 2022, 03:23:07 PM »
I hope ya'll will let me back in. It's been so long. A lot's happened over the last few years. It's all good. But I thought I'd check in and say hi to the gang.  :campfire:
I look forward to catching up.

All is well. Thanks. I retired from the museum where I worked and things got busier. I always heard it was that way. Now I surely believe it.

In my opinion, your knives are amazing. I bought one at St. Judes auction for inspiration and to keep striving for the craftsmanship in my knifemaking venture. Thanks for posting.

Love to see pictures of your latest knives. They are just so hard to come buy. Have a great holiday season.

Hey Lin! Where's the pictures??? :-) Are you still making those knives where the handle bends around and fits into a little slot? Those were cool.

Lin I am wearing one of your hunters you made me and it served me well skinning at least a dozen of wild boars.

Glad to see you back Lin. I bought one of your beautiful Damascus blades to serve as an inspiration and bench mark. I had to quit making blades when my arthritis got really bad. Now, at 82, I just fondle the knife and remember how challenging and yet enjoyable the craft is.
