I may be moving to this area in the near future. Are there any bladesmiths thereabouts? I'm looking for someone to work with or just hang out with, maybe someone to get a job with if the operation is big enough to make that worth doing...
 
Hi Dangus!

I am here in Troy, OH which is just about 15-20 miles up the road from Dayton. I am a bladesmith

I don't know of many other actual bladesmiths in the area but there are a few excellent knifemakers here. John Salley in Tipp City, Scott Strong, Scott Shoemaker to name a few.

Let me know where and when you might end up in this neck of the woods and we can bash some hot steel around!

Well I'll be up there for a week in about a week... well technically I won't be there the whole week. I'm driving there and my friend Tracie and I are going to go to Chicago, Indy, and Cleveland to see Tori Amos. Should be a fun trip. I'm looking to get out of this area though somehow, as I am sorta frustrated with the job options, so I may end up moving up there, maybe in a few months? Not certain yet. Might get a job as a delivery driver for the company she works for, though I'd definitely prefer to be doing metalwork of some sort, though not production machine work(the most repetitive boring job I have ever done!).
