Hello, my name is Ron and I am just getting started in knife making as a hobby. Bought me a Grizzly 2x72, a bunch of belts and some 1084 steel from New Jersey Steel Baron. This hobby is ridiculously difficult but very addicting. Reminds me of learning to play golf about 25 years ago. I have roached about 8 feet of steel so far and only have one 8" drop point that even closely resembles a knife I want to complete. Really struggling with grinding the bevels but am getting better ever time I try. I think it is going to take awhile....
