Thank you for your support.
I live in beijing of china ,l had ever been a teacher of middle school.but ,l always like knives' art.then,in 2005,l built my own workshop to make damascus steels and knives. But this is not popular in my country,all knowledge and skill were learnt by myself step by step ,so it took me many years to grasp it.And there are not the machines l need,so l have to make them by myself,for example ,Hydraulic Forging Press etc.
maybe My english is not very good,l am not sure whether you can see my meaning.my e-mail is "jingtao777@yahoo.com.cn",welcome you connect with me,it is my pleasure.

I love that you are doing such fine work with apparently little instruction. I'm not surprised. You Chinese have a VERY strong work ethic. Too...

Mr. Tao, I own a fine knife by a Chinese maker named Ce Sun. Have you seen this or heard of him? (Ce Sun - Folding Subhilt)
