Hello:
My first post here! (Moderators, if I'm breaking any rules, please correct me).
Just recently, I was hit with the sudden, overwhelming urge to make my own knives. I don't know why. I mean, I sort-of collect knives (and have a few pretty neat, older pieces, including a Miller Brothers US Navy gravity rope knife). It just hit me, and all within the last 2 weeks. I was recovering from a surgery, and had a lot of time to kill.
Looking around at the various custom knife threads, the quality is utterly amazing. I have some favorites, but my God, it's not easy making choices like that.
I have a couple of knife making books on order (which can't get here fast enough), and I'll probably ask a bunch of redundant questions that have already been answered.
Just to warn you now.
I'm pretty laid-back, and I'd love any input that the veterans can give me!
Sincerely,
Andre
