Anybody Forging knives in Utah?

[Rick Baum]

I'm just getting started forging, and I am hoping to get some pointers from someone with experience. Things like shop layout, forges, anvils, grinders, techniques, etc. It would be great if I could visit a shop.

The only knifemaker in Utah, that I'm sure forges, is Chris Peterson in Salina. Any of the other makers, I'm not sure if they forge or not. My uncle knows Chris Peterson, and said that he will find out if he is open to people looking for help. If you want, email me at montay@excite.com and I can try to get you more info.

Thanks Poboy! Looks like I'll be one of the only steel beaters here in Utah once I get going. Hopefully I will be attending the ABS school in October or February. That is, if I can pry myself away from the family for two weeks.
