That is a great story Jonathon. My friend Randy, HHH Knives always says making knives is his dream job so you are in good company.

When making knives are what steel are you using and do you do your own forging?

I played with steel for a while then I met a knife maker from Alaska(his name will come to me soon) Knapp is it! Mark liked what I was doing and mentioned a good place to learn more is through the ABS, so I became a member and went to Washington AK in '08 and last year at this time I earned my journeyman stamp in San Antonio.

I have been a goldsmith for over twenty years and started seriously forging knives when I became tired of jewelry also people stopped spending on gold. So as long as I was losing money I figured I would lose it in something I liked.
