Paul,
Just can't go to church with a dull knife, that would be wrong. Dont think it counts as a sin, except by other knife folks. :)

- Thanks, my knife making was limited to one Scandi and a Darryl Ralph knife kit.....I've got a few ideas now though about knives and things that I want to do, and making is right there high up the list.mostly because the stuff I would really like is just not out there

Andy Voelkle "AxeMan" said… - We have a lot in common. I did martial arts when younger, listen to all sorts of guitar music and eat every vegetable I've ever encountered, and my knife making is strictly beginners stuff so you're probably way ahead of me there. Welcome to our group.

Thanks for much for jumping right into the mix here at iKC. I appreciate it! If I can help you in any way, please give me a shout.
