Knifemakers in so. oregon?

[Belstain]

I live in medford oregon and I was wondering if there were any knifemakers that lived in the area. I want to learn how to forge my own blades but I don't have a clue where to start and would like to see how someone with a little experience makes knives.

Wayne Goddard is in Eugene, and I think Al Barton is in Bend.

What? Another knife? Don't you have enough of those things already?
How many does one person need?
And just what are you going to do with this one that you can't do with the others?
What is the purpose of all these knives anyhow??
