christian Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 hello Im a new member, I'm 16 and I've been blacksmithing for about 2 years.I am by all means a begginer and probly will consider myself as such for many years to come. Mostly I work on knives, tomahawks etc. I enjoy making damascus and have already forged several knife blanks that(with ALOT of grinding and file work) I consider fairly decent knife blanks. I would finish these knives unfourtunatly I lack the equiptment and material I need to finish them. looking forward to becoming freinds with fellow blacksmiths on ifi and learning alot from you.

ThomasPowers Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Look into the neo-tribal knifemaking, all the equipment you need to finish one is a file and a whetstone and TIME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
