Hello everyone my name is Hayshaker, i'm new to the fourm
and am a budding knife maker. and would really like to learn
from the more seasoned members here.
what i have found is there is a very large learning curve
to knife making and could use all the help i can get.
thanks everyone, Hayshaker
now a little more about myself
i used to make native american type weapons
stone warclubs, spears, stone tomahawks animal jaw knives with flint knapped blades
animal skull rattles and tomahawk pipestone peacepipes ect..
some how this all grew into a differrent direction as i wanted to start to make my own
bushcraft knives, so that is what is what i'm doing now.
i use old circular sawmill blades 2'ft in'dia for my steel.
after doing this for a couple of months i've grown tired of the slapping two pieces of wood
on a un anealed blade and calling it a knife. i want to learn the right way.
my shop has 2'kalamazoo grinders 1' a 1x42 and a 2x42 beltgrinder a 4x36 belt sander
drill press and numerous other tools. but without proper instruction it all seems
whatever. i got 27 blanks laying around the shop now ready to work on.
and that is where i'm at now.
