If you click the triangle that has the exclamation point in it that is at the bottom left of your post, you can have a mod with authority over this forum move it to either General Forum, or the Knife maker's Forum.

That sticky is paying off already.

Make sure you read Tai Goo's thread on the first page here about making from a file, too.

Tai's is part of the sticky now too.
