January 20, 20206 yr Hi everyone. My names Nicholas and I am the owner of Valentine Forge. I am located in La Plata, Md. I specialize in custom knives. Especially historical recreations. I made my first knife in 2008 while working as a kitchen cabinet salesman for an unnamed blue label home improvement company. I also do alot of work for a friend that is a liscenced gunsmith. (Specifically I case harden frizzens for muskets) I love forging artistic works and welding things I found in the trash to make "art". Haha as far as I know almost every bit of working knowledge I have comes from the school of hard knocks but I love learning. I'll be asking more as I traverse the site. I'd LOVE to be a bigger part of the community. Thanks love peace and chicken grease.
January 20, 20206 yr Welcome aboard, I prefer bacon grease for cooking or bear grease for my muzzleloaders....
January 21, 20206 yr Ahhh schmaltz; always handy for a schmear and both Bacon and Bear are NOT kosher...or halal! (Spent my high school years in New Jersey; you could see the World Trade Center from the hill next to our house...)
