New knives for Atlanta and some other stuff

[Mark Knapp]

Here are some of the knives I'm taking to Atlanta. Four customs, and some of my 1911 knives. I hope to get a few more done in the mean time. A couple of other exciting things have happened for me this summer are, I went to Wenatchee this summer to make tamahagane with Bill Burke, Gary House and a bunch of other great guys. We all had fun, made some pretty neat steel and while I was there I was successfull in my ABS journeyman smith test. I have been teaching knife and tool forging all winter, handles and guards, and sheath making as well as knapping with stone. Thats what been going on around here. Stop by and see us at table 16 O at the Blade Show.
All comments are welcomed, thanks for looking. Mark

Very nice Mark! I enjoy seeing your work.

BTW I thought you were enjoying JS status, your certainly producing the quality!

Congrats on your JS performance test.

Mark it was good to hang out with you and get to know you a bit better I used the ivory I got from you for one of my knives going to blade for those of you that do not know Mark I will tell you this he is one hard working dude I tried to get a picture of him standing around with his hands in his pockets but could not. But I think thats Bill B jacking his jaw in the back while Mark works. it was a great time at Gary's But really none of us work as hard as Bill and Mark
