  • G day from Darwin

    Long time lurker, first time poster.
    Keen fisherman and hunter here originally from Adelaide.
    I've been interested in knives for as long as I can remember.
    My interest grew more when I discovered knives Australia magazine.
    I purchased my first custom knife from Wally Bidgood at the Adelaide knife show in i think 2006.
    Since then I've added a Keith Fludder, Bruce Barnett and another Wally Bidgood to my collection always from the Adelaide knife show.
    I also have a handmade tomahawk from a maker in Tassie but unfortunately I can't remember his name or make out the makers mark.
    The hoards of info on here has fired me up to make my first knife in the near future.
    Cheers
    Tim

            Welcome to the forum Tim (one less lurker - one more member!)

            You can always post pics of the tomohawk here (take a good pic of the makers mark) - I'm sure there are members here that will be able to identify it very quickly!
