I apologize for not introducing my self...

Ive been asking questions like crazy over the last few weeks and bet your wondering who this annoying person hiding behind a silly screen name is. I have grown up around knives and have a love for all things edged. i have been recently experimenting with bladesmithing and find it more enjoyable than anything else ive ever tried (sold my tv for tools). and would really appreciate yalls guidance. i have no mentor and only limited tools, but even with what i have i find knife-making for lack of a better word... awesome. I have forged two knives and made numerous stock removal knives out of mystery steel but they were only used as throwers and not much work went into them. I am beginning to put some serious effort into my work and appreciate yalls support. -Mitch
