Hello from far away

[Guest]

I recently heard about this site from a friend who's a full time maker. I looked it up and started reading a tutorial on a homemade heat treating oven. A bit more browsing and I figured I'd join. I'm a hobbyist maker here in the USA, so far just carbon steels and generally forge, though did a few stock removal blades. I'm a member of the ABS and would like to someday test for my JS, but have a ways to go before that. Anyway, thanks to all who post their work and advice-I'm doubt I'd have made it without all the great help from others.

Figured maybe I should post a pic of my most recent project. It's knife #6 (completed, that is...lots of "almost made its" along the way), a 5160 bird and trout type with Amboyna Burl scales. I recently got to visit a friend's shop who showed me how he does sculpted handles and this was my first solo attempt. Still have some kinks to work out, but it went okay. Oh, and knowing I have a long ways to go, I'd appreciate any constructive criticism. Thanks for the warm welcome.
