Hi There
Hi everyone ,
Thought i would do the right thing and introduce myself , I have always had a love of Blades , a small collection of antique folders and knives i have collected since childhood . I have always admired the art of forging a blade or even just grinding one out . After years of being overwhelmed by the task i came to realize after reading and watching some tutorials i want to make a custom knife and nothing will stop me . It must be in my blood as my great grandfather was a blacksmith as was his brother , unfortunately i never meet him as he passed away the year of my birth 1974 . So now it is my turn and really i have very little practical knowledge , I have already picked up some great hints and advice from lurking the threads for the past couple of days .
I have some templates ready for 1084 that will be arriving soon , tools at the ready and a enthusiasm i haven't had in years . So will start small with a small drop point full tang bushcraft blade , i also have a Karesuando Knife Kit that was given to me for my birthday from a very understanding wife who is so supportive of my hobbies , Funnily enough she was the one who pushed me to finally jump in and make my own .
Feel like i'm rambling on , was just meant to say hi . Well finally i am so glad that i have found this forum and everyone seems so helpful and understanding of beginners , i look forward to learning many things and asking for help .
Have a great day
