I know Arkansas, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Texas, California, etc are rich with knifemakers.
Any knifemakers in or around Chicago?

diamdave,
did you ever find a knife maker in chicago? I am just starting out and am trying to find a maker that I may be able to take questions to and possibly observe. I am in Joliet
