Col Defender Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Good Morning! Just signed up less than an hour ago. I'm retired army with 27 years of service. Yes a Vietnam veteran with two tours their and I would do it again. My wife and I live in northwest Missouri where I spend my spare time making knives (stock reduction but I might want to learn at least some rudimentary forging skills.) I was led to your forum because I was seeking some info on anvils since I am about to go to an auction Saturday of an old blacksmith shop where the sale bill lists 7 anvils, Peter Wright and Wilkerson. Your forum has already been helpful on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Welcome! We'd love to see pictures, both of your current knives and of those you forge as things progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeroclick Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Welcome. Always love to see pictures, do you have any photos or details on the anvils that will be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well here's a picture of my most recent knife - the ribbon is from a small local arts and crafts show - ergo not a big deal but I was pleased. The steel is 1084 and the handle is from a piece of Buckeye Burl. Nice stuff! 1 hour ago, Zeroclick said: Welcome.

Zeroclick Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That is a very nice knife, I really like the look of that handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
