Aloha,
I'm a new guy and I've figured out that the appelation "bladesmith" is reserved for those who forge their knives, and the American Bladesmith Society and their Apprentice, Journeyman, Master progrom are for those who forge.
"Knifemaker" is an appelation that would include those who engage in stock removal as well. So is there a society of those who practice stock removal only?
Or does this simply indicate that the progression of most knife makers is to eventually forge?
Thanks for the insight!
