It's small but it's in there. Couldn't be happier right now. All of you voted me as Best New Knife Builder earlier this year and now I see my work published... can it get any better than this? Thank you all for helping me get this far in such a short amount of time.

A small word of advice for the really new guys... Don't give up and take a lesson from each and every mistake, learn from it and keep trying until you get it right. I thought I would never figure out the grinding in the beginning, and I never thought a year ago that I would be making something good enough to get published in a magazine.
 
Great job Steven. I think I aid to myself the other day, "I'm never gonna get this grinding thing".

That is great, Steven. It is well deserved recognition, in my opinion. I bet you are on cloud nine.

I appreciate it! You WILL get the grinding thing down. Just keep on practicing and one day it will just click. I still struggle sometimes but I have less going into the scrap bucket now.
