We were all new here once

Oh, I found a place to introduce myself 🙂 My name is Nick, I have long been interested in knives and everything related to their history, production and practical use. I like to study different steels, assembly mechanisms and of course - test tools in real conditions. I am glad to join this forum to learn new things, share experiences and communicate with people who also appreciate quality knives.
Welcome! You’ve come to the right place for all those things, with the added benefit of learning new ways to drain your wallet. 😁

Edit, just to add in all seriousness … besides a community of knife makers and enthusiasts eager to help and share their knowledge, we have in our midst one of - if not the most - foremost authorities on knife steels in the world, Dr. Larrin Larrin Thomas.

Long time lurker form germany just registered, searching for the welcome thread, did only find this one, so: "Guten Tag!" as we germans say, in other words: Heya!

Hi, yes I am new here. However, I don't think that I am a typical knife maker. I am just a woodworker trying to make a marking knife, so I will need some advice.

Been here quite awhile as a guest and then finally a member. I read a lot and don't hardly post. I like to see what the trends are and different knives people create.

I really appreciate this thread and the reminder about patience. You’re absolutely right, none of us came into this hobby as experts, and most of us probably made a few “cool looking but not so great” purchases along the way.


That’s one reason I always tell new members that where you buy matters just as much as what you buy. If you start out with something from a place like EverestForge, you’re not just buying a knife or sword—you’re getting a piece that’s been made with real care and tradition. It saves a lot of the disappointment that comes from cheap knockoffs or overhyped marketing blades.


At the end of the day, this forum is about sharing knowledge and helping each other grow in the hobby. If we point new folks toward solid makers and reputable sources, like EverestForge, they’ll have a much better experience getting started. That’s how we keep this community strong.
