Hi everyone.
I'm Luke and I have had a love of knives, sharpening, machining, modifying and learning about edged objects since I was old enough to cut myself with one.
I have restored and modified many old knives over the years and even had a bit of a go at making a couple. No forging yet although I do have access to a forge as my old man is also a fitter/machinist and loves to dabble in blacksmithing. Well I did turn an old hammer into a tomahawk but it's nothing to write home about.
Did make a skinner or utility knife using stock removal from a blank I got on line. Made a nice handle from she oak and stitched up a nice sheath too. Use it heaps when I go hunting and have found it performs very well. Nothing exotic, just simple old 440C.
Anyway, can't wait to soak it all up and also hopefully find a couple of new lovelies for my very VERY modest collection.
Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Luke
