I just saw myself a year ago -

[rlinger]

I was doing a search here yesterday evening for some HT info and ran across something I had almost forgotten about. Maybe those that have gotten to know me would get a kick out of it; I did: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=196995&highlight=ats34+heat+treat

I laughed at myself as I read it. But that's just it though isn't it(?). Stupid questions are better than ignorance forever. And you guys were always there for me.

Roger, I would say you have learned in leaps and bounds since those days. Wait until next year and we will see what you can do. You are off and running.

Been there done that!
Kind of funny to go back and see where you started out isn't it?

I was just getting into kit knives when I found this great place, I asked tons of stupid questions (You guys probably think I still do ) I really didn't have any thought of making knives from scratch until I got pissed when the stuff I ordered was never in stock, and took up stock removal.
Now I'm at right around 17 knives from scratch, 6 of them folders. I wish I had kept better track of things as I was going. I've given away 12 if you count 4 kit knives, and didn't take pictures of them all. Just now took a minute and wrote down a list so I don't forget,I envy the guys who took pictures and documented things along the way.

It always amazes me how much information can be found so easily here. I had to piss on the electric fence for myself an awful lot of times too , but I sure wouldn't be this far along without BFC and all the great people.
