Hi everyone I've been collecting Knives for a while and decided to start making my own knives at this point I'm putting together some tools and equipment and also reading and talking to as many knife smiths as i can to gather as much information I can on tools ,equipment and there techniques. My background and day job is Motorcycle Mechanic and Custom Bike Builder I have done a fare amount of welding and metal fabricating I'm very comfortable around hot metal and most tools big or small.
