Hello All,
I love the website and have been addicted to learning for the last couple of weeks. I am drooling over most of your creations.
I made my first knife last week out of an old b4stard file. It was very, very far from perfect. But I gave it to a buddy who loves it as his new River Knife to beat up when he is on the river fishing.
I am in need of some advice on metal selection for my next venture into knife making. I am not wanting to forge my knives. I have been trying to find a place in Missouri to get my metal from but coming up short.
Do any of you have any suggestions as far as scraps from construction steel, leaf springs, etc. that I can use for my first couple of knives?
Thank you all very much.
Mike H
