Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, have to say it looks pretty cool. Anyway, by way of introduction, I've been making knives now since 2004. Finally got to the point where I can draw a design and actually make it! I like making bowies, but I'm getting into long blades lately. I use a charcoal forge, and usually do my own heat treat and shelves. Hard to believe, anyway, without further ado, here's one of my knives. 12" 1095 blade, NS furniture with sambar stag handle.

Thanks Denny,

Appreciate it. Your little saying about the milkman/dairy queen made me chuckle.
