Possibly forming an Alabama Knife Group

[Will Leavitt]

I hope you don't mind me posting this here. If so it won't be the first time I've been in trouble.

Hello, my name is Will Leavitt, I’m a bladesmith in Deatsville, Alabama. Some makers and I have been floating the idea for a group of people in and around Alabama that share the common love of custom knives. In execution it will be similar to the Georgia Knifemaker’s Guild. Collectors, makers (of any type) and associated artisans will be most welcome.

If you have even a small interest please shoot an email to Alabamacustomknives at yahoo.com

Shouldn't that be illegal??? (Alabama joke)



Just kidding. Good luck Will. I won't be able to make the weekly meetings.

David,
I won't be able to make weekly meetings either unless they're held in my shop

Hope it works for you Will. We had a Ms. Knifemakers Association for a couple of years a few years back, but we got divided and the whole thing fell apart.

Good luck to you Will.
Seems we are seeing more and more state and regional knife
organizations formed. Good for the community as a whole in my opinion.

Thanks guys, the main reason is that it seems there's flood of new makers and they're contacting the same few of us that are active on the forums. Not that we mind, just seems better to get organized.
