January 2, 200719 yr I've been 'smithing about a year now, mostly ornamental and sculpture. Knives are an interest but I've only finished three so far. Great web site! I'll be visiting often.
January 2, 200719 yr 95golf Welcome! The Blacksmith / blade smiths seem to be abundant at this site. I am just learning to navigate the site with a little more skill now. The more I learn about the site, the more dynamic I realize it is. I find people here share information openly. I would bet you will find it to be a great resource. Be safe, be safe! Ted
January 3, 200719 yr Hello 95golf, I just noticed your location. I'm just south of you; Blount Co. right near the Sevier Co. line. There's some fine smiths up your way. Don
January 4, 200719 yr Author Good to hear from a neighbor! I got hooked on blacksmithing from the guy who works at the smithy in Dollywood, (Sevierville). His name is Richard.
January 4, 200719 yr Richard Williams? I've seen him demo at hammer-ins. He is good... and a minimalist; I like that. Don
January 4, 200719 yr Author This must be the same Richard...he does some unbelievable knives with no power tools. I saw a feather he forged that looked real!
