Any western NY knife makers??

[Jascornt]

Just looking to see if there are any western NY knife makers out there interested in forming some kind of support group for our hobby/addiction?? Nothing to formal just a loose knit group of like minded folks to bounce ideas and issues off of. I haven't been at this too long but I do have a handful of knives under my belt. I would appreciate being able to share my work and ideas with people who at least know what a knife should look like and how it should perform. This forum has been and continues to be the best resource of info and inspiration for me. The pro's on here are amazing and very forth coming with their knowledge and advice, but I've always learned the best from hands on. So if anyone is interested let me know.
