Hi everyone I am new to the forum and just wanted to get familiar. I started blade making about a year ago when I wanted some throwing knives. I made them from some old files. A guy at church got me into forging RR spike knives and now I just make and sell tomahawks and knives in my spare time after school.

Hello Andrew, and welcome.

Care to post some pics of your knives and hawks?

Great bunch of folks to hang with here, you'll like it.

Welcome aboard Andrew, glad to have you.

Lots of sharp pointy makers here for you to talk to and most of us like looking at nice blades even if we don't make them.
