Hello all,
I'm new here but have been an active member of the Bladeforums community for years. I used to be heavily involved in the knife world as a consumer (both of knives and information) but that died down a few years back as other interests (woodworking and furniture building) took over.
Years ago I apprenticed for several weekends with Frank J. Warner in Lompoc, CA and made a couple small fixed blades but that was the extent of my grinding experience until a few months ago.
This Summer I decided to branch out of woodworking into the world of knives, a world I wanted to begin contributing to as a maker. So I tooled up and I'd like to share some of my first knives since doing so.
I'm looking forward to sharing what I can and continually learning from all of you.
My woodworking work can be seen here and I hope to build a knifemaking website soon. I just setup a photo tent today and shot these pics.
Also, if any of you are on Instagram, you can find me at "neetones"
Thanks!

A black paper micarta wharncliffe in CPM154.
52100 and stabilized fiddleback mango scales on this thin-edged slicer.
The three of them.
